When redecorating your bath
room, don't worry about a few
drops of spilled paint on the toilet,
lavatory or bathtub. Dried paint
is easily scraped off with sharp
razor blade with no damage to the
hard, glass-like porcelain enamel
finish.

As far as comfort and luxury are

uneconomical, from the commercial
airline viewpoint.
Judging only from the standpoint
of passenger, the performance
statistics and the flight characteris-

the most enlightening thing about

Red Jet Airliners
Have Edge On
American Jets
b. EDWARD II. SIMS
Special Writer

The announcement by United
Afrlines that it would put the DC
8 jet Mainliner into service Sep
TENDER l8 meant that the United
State will have two larg passenger
Jets representing American industry.
Already. however, the Russians
have highly successful jet aircraft
on passenger routes. and have been
They have been conceded a lead"
in this field for some time The
writer has just returned from Rus
sia. where he arranged for a flight
on the TU-104 the most popular
Russian jet passenger aircraft,
Having flown from New York to
Moscow on Pan Americans and
Boeing's) newest long-range jet,
a fairly good contrast, or compari-
son, was obtained
First Of all. it should be remem-
bered that the Russians have de-
veloped a larger jet engine than
those found in American jet air
craft. The TU-l04, for example, is
powered by only two jet engines,
but they are huge engines. and pro-
duce considerable thrust.
When the TU-l04 first went into
operation, its jet engines were by
60. wv x,,oct ,,auyo,.f,I iof anUipoc
! in use and they continue to be. al
though the United States is develop
ing larger jet engines.
/ This gives the Russians per-
| Torrance edge, engine for engine.
However, the United States has no
| two-engine jet passenger aircraft.
l ard its JET passenger models are
as fast. or faster, than the Russian
1 Jets.
For example, the huge Russian
prop-iet. the TUNA. which recently
\ carried First Deputy Premier Frol
Kozlov from New York to Moscow
in nine hours and forty minutes is
7 not as fast as Boeings's 1921
which CARED this reporter from
New YORK to Moscow in eight hours
and fifty-three minutes.
This vas surprising perfor-
nance for a prophet. however. and
Il has greater range, it is said
than even the 1921" which could
! nave flown (on the recent record
hop to Moscow back to London
again Or even bit further. with
out landing in Moscow.
Premier Nikita Khrushchey
boasted in this writer's presence
that the ia could fly from Mos
COW to New York and back to
Moscow again. and then back to
New York without refueling.
