l.. S. Institute Encourages
Exchange Of Students. ideas

Thirty years ago. Just after
the first World Wan. three college
+ professors decided to do some
thing that would prevent another
war from ever happening They
felt that the way to achieve this
goal was to expose people OF one
nation to other nations. so that
all could learn that humans every
where are not as different as they
may seem.
The result was the Institute Of
International Education with
headquarters in New York. which
serves as a clearing house for the
exchange Of students teachers.

Thompson Air Trophy Winner
Is No Stranger to Washington

1T was like flying around in a
black paper bag" he remarked of
the flight. which was made at an
altitude of only 200 to 800 feet.
"The ground was just a dark
blur"
Gen. Holtoner completed the
flight, over an eight-pylon cir
cular course, in only five minutes
and 1872 seconds.
He said the flight was a little
rougher than should have been
expected.
II had lots of updrafts and l
bounced around quite a bit, but
it helped to accelerate the jet, I"
he added. II really rolled along" :"
Gen. Holtoner's wife, Mary
Jane. is a native of Baltimore.
They have two children, Jay, II,
and Mary Jane, 6.

DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. Brig.
Gen. j. Stanley Holtoner, who
won the coveted Thompson Tro-
ply with a spectacular jet speed
dash here yesterday, is no
stranger to the Washington area.
In fact, he owns a house in
the 1900 block of Yorktown
boulevard, in Arlington. Va, and
was stationed in Washington
from 1946 to 1850.
He was assigned to the Penta-
gon as chief of the Experimental
Aircraft Branch of the Air Re-
search and Development Com
mand.
Now head of the Air Force
flight test center, Edwards Air
Force Base, Calf. the cookbook
ing 42-year-old officer was asked
about his reactions as his F-86D

4 World Air Marks
Broken in Pre-Show
Events at Dayton

DAYTON, Ohio. Sept. g.
Record settlers of the day
National Aircraft Show which
ended here yesterday expect
their glory to be short-lived.
Most of them feel it will be
no more than a year before
planes now in the experimental
stage shatter the new marks,
just as old ones fell in quantity
here over the holiday week end,
before crowds totaling 100000.
Four new world records came
out of the closing days program.
But they resulted from pre- show
runs which were not announced
until yesterday. Cool, cloudy
weather ruled out any chance of
bettering the pre-show marks
before final day crowd of about
$4,000.
Helicopter speed and altitude
records disclosed yesterday were
set earlier by Air Force Capt.
Rullell M. Dobyns of Norfolk,
Va. Because of unfavorable
weather he did not even try yes
terday to beat his altitude record
of 22.289 feet set last Wednesday
or the helicopter speed mark of
146.735 miles an hour he made
Friday for mile and one-half
straightaWay. Both world record
performances were in a Piasecki
YH21 "Workhorse."
Previous HelicOpter Records.
The old helicopter altitude
record of 1920 feet was set by
Capt. H. D. Jabbis in a Sikorsky
$50 May 81, 1949. The former
helicopter speed mark of 129 $50
m.p.h. was set April 81, 1949, in
an $50 by Harold E. Thompson
in Cleveland.
Capt. Dobyns said it took him
about 20 minutes to go up the
first $4,000 feet and an hour
to get the rest of the way. He
said with favorable weather he
believed the mark could be bet
tered in the same ship.
The Thompson Trophy race
was a solo flight by Brig. Gen.
j. Stanley Holtoner, 42-year-old
commander of Edwards Air
Force Base, Calf. The 681,576
mp.h. he flew yesterday in a
North American F36D Sabre
jet stands as a jet record for
the race. bettering the 628.698
mp.h. Col. Fred Ascane set in
Detroit in 1851.
But last Wednesday Gen. Hol-
toner in a Sabre jet and in bet
ter weather tipped around the
100-kilometer (62-mile) closed
course in 690.118 m.p.h. that
shattered a world mark Jacque-
line Cochran set for the 100
kilometer closed course last June
3 in a Canadian-built F86E.
II expect this record won't
stand too long" Gen. Holtoner
said. We've got experimental
planes which could break it to-
morrow. I was flying a standard
production model"

cided to let Gen. Holtoners world

LAS VEGAS, New, May 23.-
The first test firing of an atomic
shell from the United States
giant cannon is scheduled at
Nevada Proving Ground shortly
after dawn Monday. The his
toric shot may not be heard
round the world. but it is GER
tain to be noticed by Russia's
military leaders.
It should give field artillery
men their biggest bang since the
first caiSson was rolled into
place back in the 14th century.
Yet there Is a substantial ele-
ment Of doubt concerning this
initial nuclear artillery shell. A
crew of the SIND Field Artillery
group from Fort Sill, Okla, will
load the atomic projectile into
the breach Of the 280-millimeter
gun. but will not fire it.
That will be done by electrical
control by Atomic Energy Com
mission scientists in the control
tower ABOUT 10 miles distant
from the gun position on French
man Flat.
After loading the shell, and be-
fore the impulse detonates the
propelling charge. the team will
duck behind revetments a safe
distance from the weapon. The
Army hasn't said how far away,
but presumably it will be $500
yards-the distance 2,40O troops
