CITATION FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION The State of South Carolina. County of Laurens. By J. H. Wasson, Probate Judge: Whereas, Ruth C. Cunningham and Joseph McLees Cunningham made apt George Lewis ter* fo Administra- ite and effects of / CHICAGO.—The aTmy Is building a new high speed aircraft for re search on flight faster than the speed of sound, army air forces re vealed here. Col. Philip B. Klein told the American Society of Mechanical Engineers that the new plane » still a military secret but may haVe swept-back wings and be tailless or semi-tailless. At present, planes approaching a speed of 760 miles an hour, which is the rate at which sound waves travel at sea level, se^m to hit a barrier of air piling up ahead of the wings. „To date, planes have been unable to pierce the wall but the new re search points to success. Colonel Klein said. The air forces now uses a rocket powered experimental plane known as the XS-1. It is launched in the air from a B-29 “mother.” “The XS-1 has erroneously been described as designed for super sonic flight,” the A.A.F. engineer- aviator siid. “In reality it was designed to ex plore the transonic region and pro vide us with actual flight data which might enable us to build a supersonic airplane carrying man.” Dr. J. M. Zucrow, professor of jet-propulsion at Purdue university, told the convention that man-carry ing Fobket ships capable of shooting out beyond the pull of gravity can be developed as soon as problems of cooling and controls are solved. He added that this development will not need to await the use of atomic power. „ A multi-step rocket, constructed so each step or section drope away as soon as its propellant is ex hausted, could be developed with available materials and fuels.

Wifhholdint Datails af Swat Waapon AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND.- The British Empire and the United States are withholding from other countries all details of a new weap on said to equal the atom bomb in deadliness. Work by a team of New Zealand, British and American scientists on the weapon was said to be continu ing. Existence of the weapon was re ported with the announcement that Prof. T. D. J. Leech of Auckland, described as the leading figure in the project, had been decorated by King George. It was understood the new weapon could be applied in a number of ways, one of them being similar to an atom bomb. Research did not reach the stage of practical application during the war. informants said, but has pro gressed since then. Development to a state of prac tical application has not cost nearly as much as producing atomic en ergy, it was stated. Without discounting the weapon’s effectiveness, they said, it does not offer such a threat to world peace as the atom bomb. The idea for the weapon came from a Wellington, N. Z., man who passed it on to the army in De cember, 1943.
