SKIS IN THE SKY

WASHINGTON - up = A major
aircraft company is equipping its
giant patrol bombers for duty in
the Antarctic with the largest skis
ever ordered for jet-powered ajr-
craft. Measuring 5 feet wide and
16 feet long and made of compo-
site aluminium alloy and steel, the
skis will be attached to the two
wheel main landing gear.
Planes, official publication of the
Aircraft Industries Association
says a smaller ski will be mounted
on the planes nose landing gear,
And to play it safe, provisions are
being made for the wheels to re-
main stationary while the skis can
move up or down-thereby permit
ting landings on either skis or
wheels.

Second, the present system of

These so-called committees do
not really function as deliberative

their principal use is as grave

Third, smaller number of
