THE SEAPLANE,

VIE 0EARAANE, WHICH
i everybody thought as
dead as last years calendar,
is coming back in startling
new form-as a jet fighter.
The Navy already has awarded
a contract to build a high
speed, jet-powered seaplane
to be known as the Model 275
Sea Master, which will be
radically different in concept
and design. It's details are
being withheld for security
reasons.
The Navy actually has a
new seaplane jet fighter, the
Convair XF2Y. It marks the
first known application of the
"hydro-ski" to a combat air
craft. This is an adaptation
OF the familiar water ski. It
will permit the jet seaplane
to taxi. But it doesn't in
corporate any floating char
acteristics into the craft, as
in the flying boat and the
plane with floats.
The basis for many ad-
vanceS such as these is the
revolutionary jet-propelled
Skate blended hullwing de-
sign. The potentialities of
the new jet seaplanes are
being discovered through test
ing a dynamically similar
model of the projected full
size aircraft. The model shows
how the prototype will re-
act without the hazards Of
unteSted fight, in such
aspects as inertia, power,
acceleration and gross weight.
Until this new development,
the downfall of the seaplane
was due to a single basic rea-
son, one that might well serve
as a lasting lesson for Amer
ican aviation.
Design stagnation claimed
the seaplane as a victim. It
was without benefit of any
new really significant changes
In hull design for Is years.
Evening star., 1953-04-12
By Harry Lever

After all this time, it still was
a boat with wings. Naval
architects had created a crea-
ture of compromise.
It played an important but
ofttimes obscure role in avia-
ton since 1911, when Glenn
Hammond Curtiss made his
tory's first water-based air
plane flight from San Diego
Bay. It was champion of the
skies for about 20 years,
amassing some of the most
important records. It was
rugged, had versatility and
dependability, and the ad-
vantage Of being able to oper-
ate from more than IS per
cent of the earth's surface
at a time when land bases
were few.
But now the saga of the
seaplane faces a happy end
ing. This is evident in the
joint efforts of the Navy's
Bureau of Aeronautics, the
National Advisory Council for
Aeronautics and the Convair
Hydrodynamic Laboratory.
Already, this team has brought
about a 800 per cent improve
ment in seaplane efficiency as
a result Of hull Improvements.
Elated by tests on the
fighter types, engineers also
are working on models of the
R3Y-1, a Navy jet-propelled
cargo transport which will be
rated at 80 tons and be as
nimble as today'S interceptor.
One Of the most important
men behind the scenes, Ernest
G. Stout, received his early
education in Washington,
having graduated from West
ern High School In 1891. In
ternationally known as one of
the worlds leading authorities
on seaplane design, he is one
of the handful of men re-
SponSible for the return of
water-based aircraft to- top
rank prominence in aviation.

Livestock Producers
To Meet Benson
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son has agreed to meet Tuesday
with a delegation of livestock
producers who seek Government
action to bolster cattle prices.
The National Farmers Union
is sponsoring a producers cara
van due here Sunday.
Gus F.. Geissler of the Farm
erS' Union, a former high official
of the Agriculture Department,
told reporters at least $50 farm
ers from Is States are due in
Washington.
The delegation had hoped to
meet with Mr.. Benson Monday
and with President Eisenhower
on Tuesday. Mr.. Benson sent
word through aides, however
that he would meet with the
delegation Tuesday but could not
on Monday.
James G. Patton, NFU presi-
dent, said in Denver his organi-
alton decided to sponsor the
caravan because working live
stock producers have indicated
they do not believe Mr.. Benson
or the President have had the
opportunity to talk with men
who have borne the full brunt
of the livestock depression.

23.-Somewhere between this
Virginia mountain spot and
Tokyo, there's a recording in
fight today carrying a mothers
message to her hospitalized son,
Corpl. Edward S. Dickinson.
Corpl. Dickinson is a 23-year-
old farm boy who was captured
by the Korean Reds and, refused
repatriation until last Wednes-
day, when he decided he wanted
to come back to his home
straight up on a Southwest Vir-
ginia mountain where he grew
up and helped out with the
farming.
He was flown yesterday from
Korea to Tokyo, where he was
hospitalized for a checkup.
Hello. Ed" the recording
starts off. The tear-heavy voice
is that of his mother, Mrs. Bes-
sic c. Dickinson. you don't
know how proud we are you're
a-coming home we're just
waiting for you to come in so we
can all welcome you home.

"And we want to have a big
pot and a little one. We're gonna
give a big chicken dinner and so
is Keith Myers gonna bake you

The recording was made in the
simply-furnished living room OF
the one-Story mountain home 8
miles from the nearest village OF
Crackers Neck.

"You do this for me-" Gen.
Dean told the corporal. "You

an English composition, just
write me what you saw and send
it to me. According to what I've
heard, that man deserves a

The corporal said he would.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. 23.-Final casualty figures
for the Korean war, still clouded
by uncertainty over the fate of
thousands missing who may be
dead, indicated today that both
sides suffered a toll of more than
three million.
Based on figures from official
and U. N. delegation sources, to-
tai casualties for the U. N. side
are figured at 1,474, ,269, of which
the Republic of Korea total IS
1,312,836; the United States to-
tai 144,173, and the total for the
Is U. N. allies 1880.
In all but a few instances, the
figures ran past the July 27 ar
mistice date.
Pentagon sources in Washing
ton, basing their figures on a
roundup they made in July, es-
timated Communist casualties,
killed and wounded, at APO, 900,
and prisoners at another 10000
for a total of 1,540,00O-scaled
down from an estimate last tApril
of 100000.
NRsan%~~S
The United States still has
1885 listed missing. The De-
tense Department early this
month said they must even
tually be presumed dead"
Along with almost complete
casualty tolls. delegation sources
have revealed that the U. N.
allies actually put onto the front
thousands more of men, through
rotation and replacement. than
the standard size of the unit.
From three to six times the
strength of the unit finally
served on the front.
Turkey, for example, with a
unit of 5000 men, had personnel
numbering 29,882 during the
three years Turkish troops were
on the front.
Troop losses generally figured
in ratio to the standard size of
the unit involved.

He thought a minute and added,

He came to seven beds drawn
together. On each bed sat a
man from Turkey who had been
wounded in Korea. Through an

Now, I never saw any Turks,
and I didn't command any. But
everybody tells me the Turks

$4,000 Workers Quiz
Al North American,
Peri|ing JET Output
BY the Associoied Press

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 23.-
! More than $4,000 men and
women who build some of the
Nations best-known jet planes
went on strike today at North
American Aviation Co. plants
here and in Columbus, Ohio.
The walkout and the picketing
were orderly.
The CIO United Auto Work
ers' contract with North Ameri-
can expired last midnight. Ne
gctiations were broken off at
$50 o'clock last night and no
date was set for renewal.
The union wants a wage in
crease of 23.4 cents an hour plus
severance pay, a pension pro-
gram and other benefits. Pay
now ranges from SLAP to $2.32
hourly. The company has offered
a 4 per cent general increase,
plus an additional 4 to 5 cents
hourly for top workers.
The strike threatened produc-
tion of F1OO Supersabres, F86F
Saberjets and T28B Navy train
ers. The company said it would
keep the plants open and try tc
continue making planes.
The picketing recalled the tur-
oulent days of 1941, when Federal
troops took over the North Amer
ican plant here temporarily dur
ing a strike. The union later
took disciplinary action against
some Of the strike leaders for de-
Tying back-to-work orders.
Some 12,500 workers struck last
midnight at Columbus. Nearly
10000 walked out here. The
strike is expected to extend to a
smaller plant of the company at
Fresno, Calf. The Fresno con-
| tract expires at midnight tonight

Red Beliefs 'Taint'
Some Freed P0Ws,
|VeIde Is Convinced
BY the Assoeiorsd Pres.

Chairman Velde of the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee said today the hearing has
convinced him that some re-
turned American prisoners OF
war are tainted with COM
munism.
He called more witnesses to-
day to continue closed-door
hearings and announced the
doors will be opened to the pub
lie beginning November %.
Even as Mr.. Velde was telling
reporters this, the Voice OF
America was hammering away
at the other side of the coin
The overwhelming refusal OF
Communist prisoners to go home
Capitalize on Failures.
"a propaganda disaster OF
colossal proportions" was the
tag pinned on the Reds failure
to coax back no more than 1S
of 963 recalcitrants. The voice
hit this theme hard in radio
commentaries beamed around
the globe in "a languages.
Mr.. Velde said he was certain,
after hearing four witnesses tell
about Communist efforts to in
fluence their ideologieS, that the
Red indoctrination had some ef-
feet on Americans captured in
Korea.
He said the four witnesses
were from the Army and Air
Force and ranged in rank from
private to colonel.
10 Veterans to Be Called.
"The testimony of these men"
Mr.. Velde said, indicates that
some of the United States forces
who were in Communist hands
returned to this country with
some Communist leaningS."
He said about 10 veterans Of
Korea service will be called to
testify at the public hearings.
He also said he expects some
ex-prisoners to balk at question:
ing by his committee. probably
invoking the Fifth Amendment
which permits a refusal to give
possibly self discriminating teSti-
mony.
Mr.. Velde said that Corpl. Ed
ward S. Dickinson of Big Stone
Gap, Va, who reversed his de-
cision to stay with the Commu-
nists, will be given IAN invita-
ton" to appear before the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Velde said Corpl. Dicken-
son probably will not be in this
country at the time other ex-
prisoners are questioned, but
we want to hear from him."
