That conference between the
armed forces executives and Negro
leaders brought out one thing that
left no doubt in anybody's mind:
There will be no compromise on the
issue Of segregation. Every mem
Der Of the group was adamant in
the expression Of determination to
put an end to any separate train

Question Of the week: What is

"On the whole it can be said that

Stretching the B-2o

SNSiSdtataS tltS g-4I
The Air Force has developed a new
technique for refueling huge B-29
bombers in midair to stretch the
ships normal range of 4,6OO miles
with a fiVe-tOn bomb load.
All bombing units of the Air Force
will have the new equipment by the
first Of next year.
While declining to disclose details
by which transfer of gasoline from a
tanker plane to a bomber is made un-
der the new method, one Air Force
expect said:
British fiiers have perfected a
method of pumping gasoline from one
plane to another at about 100 gallons
a minute. The U S. technique is de-
signed to accomplish several times
such speed.
This indicates that a B-29 could
take on virtually a full load of gaso-
line in perhaps is minutes.
With five-ton bomb load and using
only normal built-in tanks, a B-29
fuels with about $500 gallons for II
hours Of flying to a target, dropping
bombs and reaching a friendly base.

Mission Abandoned


Western China may or may not
have the worlds highest peak in the
Anne Machin mountain range. Mil
lionaire Milton Reynolds isn't inter-
ested any more
Reynolds, who made his money in
ballpoint pens, wrote aviation history
a year ago by flying around the globe
with Pilot Bill Odom. On his return
he iubilantly planned to become the
first man tp fiy over both poles. To
keep in practice Reynolds went to
China last month with a scientific ex-
pedition to chart a peak reputedly
higher than Mt. Everest
This week the Chicago millionaire
abruptly cancelled his expedition and
made a dramatic getaway from Shang-
hal. Getting into his impounded ship
by ruse, Reynolds tossed out so
souvenir pens to Chinese officials.
Odom turned the plane on one wheel
and took off downwind, scattering
guards like frightened chickens.
Reynolds said he skipped out to
avoid financial shakedown. He said
the expedition already had cost him
more than $250,000
Chinese scientists and government
officials said, however, Reynolds had
doublecrossed them by trying to find
the mountain by himself in an un-
scheduled flight, April 2. The Boston
Museum of Science and China's Aca-
denia Sinica were co-sponsors.

olds said: "Ill be so happy to gel

Duel in the U.N.
The eaSt-WeSt duel continued in the
United Nations. Britain, France and
the U. S. proposed for the third time
that Italy be admitted to membership
in the U.N. Andrei A. Gromyko, who
twice has vetoed it for Russia, said
it was a cheap move to catch more
votes in Italy.
