Bell Engineer
Woods Lauded
In Magazine

Engineer Robert Woods of the
Bell Aircraft Corp has received
high tribute for the basic ideas
which developed a supersonic air.
plane into reality.
Woods, who is well known by
London residents, was lauded for
his work when one aircraft COM
pany saluted the achievements of
another in the publication of a
long article in The Research Air
plane, including Bells famous XII.
by Pegasus, monthly magazine of
the Fairchild Engine & Airplane
Corp.
Mrs. Woods, is the former Betty
Lou Schlegel, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs, ]. Fred Schlegel, South Main
ST., London.
The success of the Bell XII, first
craft to pass the supersonic bar
rier, and the later Douglas D-558,
Skyrocket, was responsible for
eliminating the psychological
block which existed in the minds
of most pilots-that supersonic
flight was extremely difficult, re-
quiring the talents of superman.'
Other benefits from Bells pio-
neering work, according to the
magazine, include the fact that
stability difficulties encountered
as airplanes pass through the
transonic speed range have been
thoroughly defined, information
concerning full-scale aerodynamic
loads for high-speed airplanes has
been obtained and many pilots
have been trained in the business
of going through the sonic bar
rier."

Power Plants Hit
Other Targets On
The Bombing List

SEOUL R,-Five big hydro
electric plants which served Com
munist war industries in Man.
churia and North Korea were piles
of smouldering rubble today after
a smashing raid by 500 Allied
planes.
There were strong hints that
more Red targets are marked for
attack.
Military officials in Washington
said Mondays raid on Communist
generating stations inaugurated a
new get tough" policy adopted
as a result of Red stalling in the
armistice negotiations.
One spokesman who asked not
to be identified said I'VE now re-
alize the best chance for breaking
the deadlock at Panmuniom is to
hit the enemy with all the force
at our command"
A study of gun camera films
from the 500 Air Force, Marine
and carrier-based Navy planes
which took part in the Korean
Wars biggest air attack showed
the strike was virtually 100 per
cent success, the Air Force said.
An official spokesman said direct
hits were registered on all five
targets, and the worlds fourth
largest hydro-electric plant at
Suiho was a pile of junk" He
described the 1,4OO-foot row of
giant transformers and other
equipment as shambles.
The Suiho plant lies only a half
mile south of Manchuria on the
Yalu River. Other plants were
smashed at the Changjin Reser-
voirs and on the Songchon River
in eastern North Korea.
Not one Communist jet chal-
lenged the attacking Allied planes,
although Allied pilots said more
than 200 swept-wing Migs were
parked on a Manchurian air base
within sight of Suiho.
The Air Force said all of its
planes returned safely. The Navy
said one carrier-based plane was
shot down by anti-aircraft fire and
four others were hit, but no pilots
were lost.
No official at United Nations
headquarters would say where the
order to bomb the power stations
originated. The plants have been
spared since the war begun two
years ago and observers said the
decision to smash them appeared
to be more political than military.
Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy, who
formerly headed the u. N. Armis-
tice team at Nunsan, said at San
Diego that he had known for some
time a major strike was planned
unless an armistice was signed
soon.
The Korean battlefront was rel
atively quiet Monday after more
than two weeks of the heaviest
fighting since November. ,h

PhiIs Triumph
40 Over Cubs

Young Steve Garrard of the
Phils shut out the cubs with one
hit Thursday, making that game
an almost exact, duplicate of
Tuesdays Yank-Cub game.
Although the Phils won out by
the score of 40. they weren't ex.
actly ball of fire at the plate
rs Dick Payne, star pitcher for
the Cubs let them down with only
two hits.
Except for few fielding lapses
the game quite easily could have
gone into extra innings. However,
young Garrard was invincible in
the clinches and was also abet-
ted by a fielding gem on the part
of Larry Thibaut in the sth in
ming.
Thibaut, who was playing 2nd
base, was off to his left at the
crack of the bat and made a SEN
sational one-handed, diving catch
OF the ball to rob the Cub team
OF a sure extra base hit.
Also starring defensively for
the Phils was ''Toodie" Bailey,
who made several nice stops and
throws from short stop.
Lone Cub player to garner a
hit was Gary Reynolds, 3rd base.
man for the Cubs. who with Gar
rison and Hennigan, also stood
out defensively for the Cubs.
The Phils have now won their
last three games and shape up as
one OF the most improved teams
in the league.
However they will have to go
all out in Mondays game as they
tangle with the league-leading
Yanks. This could very easily be
the first crucial game of the
season, as the first half of play
ends with Thursday nights game.
The Yanks have already as
sured themselves of a tie. and if
they should win but one of their
remaining two games. they will
be undisputed 1st half champs.
However. if the Yanks should
lose both, and the Phils win both
of theirs, tie would ensue.
Looking at Mondays games be-
tween the Yanks and Phils, any,
thing could happen. Both mana
gers Don Morrison (Yanks) and
Roy Sanders (Phils), claim their
teams are at top strength and
rarin' to go.
This one really shapes UP as
a natural and, weather permit
ting, Umpire Danny Davis will
cali for the opening of hostilities
at 500 Pm.
At the conclusion of the first
half of play this week, the second
half schedule will be announced.

ing hitters from each of the
