Turbo-P Prop GlObemaster With 6O9o More Power Makes Maiden Flight

LONG BEACH, Calif., R - Douglas Aircraft Co. announced today that a giant troop carrying plane "a combination propeller and jet driven transport - has completed it's maiden flight sue cessfully.
 The company said the plane, a development of the Douglas Globemaster, was taken up yes terday by Frank Boyer, a com pany test pilot.
 The 200-passenger air giant is powered by four turbo-prop en- zines. This engine is a gas turbine which spins a conventional pro- pellor and also delivers some jet thrust. Douglas said the distribu- ton of power is approximately 80 per cent propeller and 20 per cent jet
 John c. Buckwalter, chief en- gineer of the Long Beach Douglas division, said the plane, known as the TC-124B, has 60 per cent more horsepower than the conventional piston powered Globemaster, which presently is the largest transport in military service. The announcement said the dimen- sions of the new plane are ap- proximately the same as those of the Globemaster but that it was necessary to increase the strength of the basic structure to take ad- vantage of the increased power.

House to Debate Bill
 Authorizing U.S.-Canada Build St.LaWrence Seaway

WASHINGTON, R-The House Public Works Committee today approved a Senate . passed bill authorizing the United States to join with Canada in building the St. Lawrence Seaway.
 The measure, lightly amended from the form in which it passed the Senate on Jan. 20, now goes to the House Rules Committee. The latter group will decide if and when the bill is to be sent to the House for debate.
 The bill, as passed by the Sen ate, would authorize a St. Law renee Development Corp. to issue 1O5 million dollars in bonds to the US. Treasury to finance this country's share of the construc- ton.
 The House Committee amend ed the financing provision by pro viding that the corporation issue revenue bonds in the sa am e amount to the treasury. They would be amortized by imposition of tolls on ships using the 27- foot deep Atlantic-to to-Great Lakes waterway.

Ike Says US. Going Through
 Period of Economic Adjustment
 But Everything Will Be All Right

WASHINGTON, R-P President Eisenhower said today he be- lieves the United States is going through a period of economic ad- justment but he is confident ev- erything will turn out all right
 A readjustment has always fol- lowed in the wake of defense emergency, the President told a news conference.
 His administration, he added, believes the prosperity of a coun- try lies in the prosperity of it's masses, not in the wealth of any small groups.
 His statement followed an ex- pression of opinion by Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey yes terday that the country is under going rolling adjustment which is nothing to be disturbed about.
 In response to a question, Eli senhower said he is sticking by his decision that it will not be wise to try to raise the minimum wage of 75 cents an hour at this time of economic transition.
 Roy Scherer of the National Broadcasting Co.,, asked for com ment of what Scherer described as feeling in some quarters that it is practically un-American to say there is a recession going on.
 Eisenhower laughed and then said this is a free country and people are entitled to use what ever language they like.
 As for himself, Eisenhower said, he supposes we have receded from something since not everything is at it's peak.
 In conference covering a wide range of subjects, Eisenhower also:
 Declared emphatically that he will not compromise one bit-one single word on the Bricker treaty power amendment in any way which would alter the tradi- tional balance of power between the three branches of government.
 Asserted he deplores any spread of hysterical fear in connection with Americas possession of at omic weapons. Big talk and bonn baStic statements are not the way to deal with the situation, the President said, adding that calm attitude is the better course.
 Confirmed reports the United States has air technicians in Indo- china, as it has, the President added, in many other countries of the world. The units are entire ly technical and are not fighting units, he said.
 Asserted something has to be done about the cost of butter be- fore that commodity prices itself out of the market, but he ad- vanced no specific solution to the problem.

Swift, Jet-Powered Tanker Planes
 Seen by Air Force as Solution
 To Refueling High Flying B-52s

WASHINGTON, R-T h e Air Force may turn to swift, high fly ing empowered tanker planes to provide mid-air refueling for the new B-52 all-jet heavy bombers of the Strategic Air Command
 The B-52s are expected to be- gin coming off the production line late this year. Each B-52 is being equipped to replenish it's fuel sup ply in flight to offset rate of fuel consumption by its eight thirsty jet engines.
 Mid-air refueling for medium BAY jet bombers is standard prac- tice. But all tanker planes now used are piston-engined aircraft, the KC-97 Boeing Stratofreighter, with tanks and a flying boom" for transfer of fuel to jet bOmberS or fighters.
 Airmen are highly pleased with idea of replenishing jet bombers and fighters in midflight. They point to the recent nonstop flight of an entire 45-plane wing of BAY bombers from Louisiana to North Africa, with the tanks of the bombers refilled while winging across the Atlantic. But they also say that a loss in efficiency, in time and in fuel will always exist when a jet bomber refuels from a piston-engined tanker. The req son:
 A jet engine performs best at high altitude. where the air is thin. A piston gined aircraft pro- duces more power at lower alti- tudeS. The BAY usually cruises at

Young Housewife Kills Her Three Children

WATERVILLE, Maine, R-A distraught young housewife who wrote message that God told me-" Tuesday faced murder charge in the bathtub drowning of her three children.
 County Atty. Joseph B. Camp bell said Mrs. Constance Fisher, 24, would be arraigned in munici- pal court.

 Richards body lay face down in the tub. The others were on beds.
 Campbell said Mrs. Fisher was huddled in a blanket under bed.
 He said she swallowed some liquid shampoo in a suicide at tempt, but it had no serious effect.
 Campbell said Mrs Fisher wrote her husband:

First 5000 Feet Of
 Haines-Fairbanks Pipeline Arrives at Port of Valdez

VALDEZ, R-The first pipe for tn e Haines-Fairbanks pipeline, 5000 feet of it, arrived here Mon day aboard the Norwegian motor ship Noreness, the first foreign flag ship to visit this port since 1928.
 Trucks immediately started to haul the eight-inch pipe from here via the Richardson Highway to stockpiling points located every 10 miles between Fairbanks and Haines.
 The Noreness left Newport, England, Jan. 23, making only a refueling stop at Los Angeles en- route to Valdez. The last foreign flag vessel to visit this port was the British cruiser HMS Durban.

3O,00O feet or above The KC-97, toting a hefty 5000 or 1000 gal Ions of jet fuel in addition to it's own gasoline, has practical cell ing for refueling of about 10000 feet To refuel, the bomber must descend 10000, then climb back with the accompanying high fuel consumption rate for a climb.
 What is true of the BAY medium will have even greater effect in refueling of the B52, a much bigger and somewhat faster plane.
 Observers who have ridden tanker plane in a refueling opera tiOn with the BAY bomber note that the bomber is close to stall ing" speed as it hears full fuel load while throttled down to 300 miles an hour or less to match the top speed of the tanker plane.
 The Air Force disclosed last fall that it was experimenting with BAY converted to a tanker plane by the Boeing Airplane Co. The Boeing Company announced last week that it's new jet transport, prototype of which is being built, can be utilized as a tanker.
 Boeing expects to get cruising speed of about $50 miles for the transport. This would bring the speed of a tanker up to a satisfac- tory match with a jet bomber and at the same time make it pos sible 10 operate the tanker at the bomber's normal cruising altitude. Dimensions of the jet transport are almost as great as that for the piston engined tanker
 To give the heavy jet bomber real "global' range, aerial refuel- ing must be used. In its present form the B-52 has an official re- ported radius of about 5000 miles, with the Air Force hoping inn provements to engines and opera ting technique can extend that to 5000. But by refueling, the radius of action could be extended con- siderably.
 The Convair B-36 has the long est reach of any operational Air Force aircraft, rated officially as possessing 10,O00-miIe range and reported to have exceeded 12,0OO miles in some flights This latter figure would provide an operating radius of about 4,000 miles. The B-36's main power plant is composed of six piston engines, with four jets to provide extra speed when needed
