Alexandra Pilot Sets
Speed Record in Jet

The 10o-kilometer closed cir
cult aircraft speed record-now
claimed by the Soviet Union
has been broken by a new
American fighter plane. the
Navy announced today.
An FAIL Phantom II flew a
00-kilometer circle at an off,
cial average speed of 1,390.21
miles per hour over the Mojave
Desert on September Is.
Russia has submitted a mark
of 1.298.70 miles an hour to the
Federation Aeronautique Inter-
rationale in Paris. the inter-
national agency for certiflca-
ton of aircraft records.
The current accepted record
is 1,167.35 miles an hour set
by an Air Force F-105-B fighter
last December.
The Navy said this small cir
cular course record is the most
significant test for a fighter
plane, as it m easures both
speed and maneuverability.
The pilot, Comdr. John F.
Davis, had to turn the plane
over on its side and go into a
tight turn in order to keep the
plane within the specified area.
He flew at As. 900 feet, and radar
operators on the ground told
him when he was on course.
The Navy was to present
Comdr. Davis, who lives in
Alexan dria. with a Dis
tinguished Flying Cross cita-
ton today.
The world speed record for
straight and level flying is l ,526
miles per hour. Comdr. Davis
Phantom II has exceeded this
many times, but Navy officials
said there are no present plans
to go after that record-held
by an Air Force F-106.

MIAMI. Fla, Oct. 4 (AP).-
Strikebound buses resumed
rolling today in Greater Miami
and rides were free.
An early morning meeting of
drivers okayed a novel arrange
ment that unfroze public trans
portation in this sprawling area
of l million population pending
settlement of a strike which
began Saturday over a wage
dispute.
Management offered to pro-
vide its buses and fuel to run

the buses and collect no wages
or fares.

portunity to render a service
to the public while, the dispute
is still going on" said Harry
Barber. financial secretary of
the drivers union local.
William D. Pawley, owner of
the two bus companies in
volved, said the plan was
unique in America and pre-
sented problems of insurance,
control of men and other
things, but he was willing to
try it.

Drivers struck over their de-
mand for a so cents-an-hour
pay increase. They cut the fig
ure to 20 cents but Mr.. Pawley
would offer no more than 4
Icents-an-hour raise. The aver
age pay has been $2.16 an hour.
A union official said the 700
drivers would give up some
$4,000 a day in salaries and
that it would cost the COM
panies $4,000 to $4,000 a day
to operate the buses.

District Budqei
Brakes Sought
Hard Look Asked
At City Spending
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star STAFF Writer

The District Commissioners
today were urged to try to put
brakes on the city's spiraling
budgets by taking a new and
close look at municipal spend
ing policies.
This plea came at the open
ing of a public hearing on the
proposed 1926 million spending
program for the District next
year.
In addition to this request
for economy studies, the Com
missioners also heard pleas for
increased spending on wide
range of municipal projects.
About rs persons were on
hand for the opening of the
budget session in the District
Building. A total of 81 wit
nesses were scheduled to give
the Commissioners their views
on spending and revenue items
for the fiscal year beginning
next July !.
Higher Than Current Year
The 1886 million figure was
proposed by the Commissioners
budget aides. This spending
total is 1858 million higher
than the estimated comparable
figure for the current fiscal
year. In coming up with this
recommended fiscal program
the city budget Office had to
cut spending requests by de-
partment heads by about $20.2
million.
The recommended budget
does not carry specific proposals
for bringing in additional rev.
enue. The budget aides instead

TENDER. A rise in GIMP for the
quarter would have required a
substantial buildup of inven-
tories in September, they said,
noting that preliminary reports
give no evidence of such a
trend.
See No Big Imitation Peril
There have been recent in
dications that businessmen are
leveling off inventories or even
cutting back. When inventories
decline. production of goods
falls below the rate of con-
sumption-slowing down manu-
featuring activity.
Some economists maintain
that the recent trend of inven-
tories shows only that business
men are convinced that the
threat of severe imitation has
been eliminated. Peace of mind
about imitation, according to
this argument, gives the econ
omy a solid foundation for
steady, suStainable growth.

5OO-Lb. Ball
To Serve as
Communication
Sphere Carries
300 Pounds of
Electronic Gear
By WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer

The Army and Air Force to-
day launched a 500-pound earth
satellite designed to provide
data for an advanced military
communication system in space.
The 5l-inch- diameter sphere,
loaded with 300 pounds of cleo
tronic gear, was sent aloft from
Cape Canaveral, Fla, at 1:49
pm. (EDT) today atop two
stage Thor-Able-Star rocket.
1t was given the name Courier
I-B.
The first of the Courier active
communications satellites was
launched last August 16 but
failed to go into orbit when the
first stage of its launching We
hicle lost power prematurely.
Expect Two-HOur Lapse
1t was expected that about
| two hours would elapse after
today's launching before the at
tempt could be considered sue
cessful. The goal was a circular
orbit about 600 miles above the
earth.
The Thor-Able-Star rocket
was aimed due east, which
would put the satellite into a
path around the earth's mid
section between the 18th paral-
lels north and south of the
equator. The orbital time
should be about two hours.
The heart of the Courier ex-
pertinent is a delayed repeater
communications device pow
cred by energy from the sun.
Nearly 10000 tiny silicon cells
studding the outside of the
sphere have the capacity to
translate sunlight into electri-
cal power for use by the satel-
lite's electronicS system, either
directly or through recharge-
able batteries.
| $4,000 Words a Minute
The receiver portion of the
device was built to take mes
sages beamed from earth and
store them on magnetic tape.
Signals from earth stations
could then cause the transmit
ter portion to send the stored
messages.
All this would be done at the
speed of $4,000 words a minute
about 1000 times as fast as
a competent secretary can type.
Army Signal Corps designers
of the equipment calculate that
in a f1ve-minute pass over a
ground station the orbiting
radio station could handle half
the wordage of the Bible.
Courier differs from earlier
communications satellites such
as Score and Echo. Score,
orbited in December, 1858, was
an Atlas missile with a rudi-
mentary delayed repeater in
side. Echo, sent up in August
of this year, was a passive
communications satellite "a
100-foot plastic balloon off
which signals could be bounced
from one point on the ground
to another.
Two monitoring stations have
been set up for the Courier
experiment. One is near Fort
Monmouth, N. j., and the other
at the Space Communication
Center of the Army's Carib-
bean Signal Agency near Ponce,
Puerto Rico.

cession is on the way or has
started.
Senator Kennedy, the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee,
has charged that the Eisen-

cies have stifled economic
growth and threaten to cause
a recession. But Republican
leaders have maintained that
the economy is insgood shape.
GIMP last declined during the
July-September quarter of
1859, partly because of the
steel strike. Before and since
then, it has risen steadily each
quarter from low levels of the
1858 recession.
GIMP attained a record high
in the April-June quarter of
this year - $505 billion at a
seasonally adjusted annual
rate. Firm estimates for the
July-September quarter will
not be ready for about a
month.

But Government experts al

Of the trend. They said today
they do not expect GIMP for
the July-September quarter to

Most probably, they said,

real question, they continued, is
the extent of the drop.
