U.S.ToTestl,7oo-MPH Rocket Plane
WASHINGTON, May 27.—(AP)—The Air Force says it will be
oin flight tests early next year of a tiny rocket plane designed to
;m a top speed of 1,700 miles an hour.
The plane is the X-lA, a successor to the faster-than-sound X-1.
Like its forerunner, it is a product of the Bell Aircraft Corporation
of Niagara Falls, N. Y,
The X-1 itself was designed to have a top speed of 1,700 miles
an hour. But design problems delayed completion of the turbine
driven fuel pump that was supposed to force alcohol and liquid
oxygen into its engine. Instead of this pump, nitrogen gas under
pressure was used to drive fuel into the rocket motors,
How fast the X-1 went with this substitute fuel delivery system
has never been disclosed officially. Prior to flight tests, its top
speed was estimated at 1,000 miles an hour at an altitude of more
than 11 miles, X
During the tests, which were completed early this month at
Muroc, Calif, the Air Force announced the plane had traveled
faster than saund repeatedly, Sound travels 763 miles an hour at
sea level and slightly less than that at higher altitudes. Reports
that the X-1 reached 1,700 miles an hour were not confirmed

The two men are William W,
Remington and Michael J. Lee,
both SIO,OOO a year men in the
office of international trade.
The Senate Commece Commit
tee is reported to have put pres
sure on Sawyer to fire Lee. Some
senators have said the committee
would launch an investigation of
the department if Sawyer did not
act.
Meantime the controversy over
Senator McCarthy’s charges of dis
loyalty in the State. Department
blazed anew, with Attorney Gen
eral McGrath comparing Mec-
Carthy’s methods to Hitler’s
gestapo technique. McCarthy re
torted that the Justice Department
screams “each time the Congress
tries to dig out Communists.”
Remington announced that he
would not quit under fire; that
he would see the fight through. He
recently was questioned by the
House un-American Activities
Committee in a renewal of charges
that he once was a Communist. He
flatly denied it.
Lee, chief of -the department’s
far eastern branch, has been under
attack by Senator Malone (R~
Nev.) who called for his removal
as a poor security risk. The Sena
tor contended that Lee impeded
the flow of aviation gasoline to

SURVEY SHOWS
TALMADGE HAS
"UNIT MARGIN
Editor’s Poll Shows
Thompson Gaining In
Over Dozen Counties
By The Associated Press
Candidates for governor fired
away on famillar issues Saturday
while Gov. Herman Talmadge
breezed into a lead for re-el&ction
in a survey by local newspaper ed
itors in 108 Georgia counties.
The newsmen, sizing up their
home counties at the half-way
point in a bitter race for governor,
gave Talmadge an edge in coun
ties with 187 unit votes.
Former Gov. M. E. Thompson,
waging an uphill fight in one of
the most vigorous “whistle stops”
campaigns the state has seen, was
reported ahead in counties with
101 votes.
With 206 unit votes needed for
election, the balance of power
wouti?i rema thu; in 51 counties unre~
orted in survey.
p‘«'l‘he, poll was undertaken by the
Atlanta Constitution. More than a
dozen editors, listing their coun
ties for Talmadge at the moment,
reported “Thompson gaining.” in
a few counties rated a toss-up,
unit votes were split between the
two.
Meanwhile, in a fiery week-end
rally at Summerville, Talmadge
heaped new scorn on the FEPC
and on opponents of the county
unit system. He insisted these are
the burning issues of the cam
paign. .
And 'Thompson, at Douglas,
shouted, “the machine— the face
less men, the trademark, the 2,000
deadbeats on the state payroll —
they wish to destroy honest elec
tions. That is the great issue in
this campaign.”
Baker Drive
Candidate C. O. (Fat) Baker
carried his stump drive to New=-
nan and Greenville while Pat Av
ery took his anti-sales tax banner,
to Canton and Marietta. Neither
was given any unit votes in the
Constitution’s survey of editors’
opinions.
The survey reported Lieuten
ant-Governor Marvin Griffin far
ahead of former Senate President
Frank Ross of Toccoa and Atlanta
Attorney Dan Duke for the No.
2 spot. Gross was given only 20
unit votes and Duke 11. But sev
eral counties reported no opinion.
in this contest.
The editors were asked to line
up their counties as of Saturday.
They were not asked to predict
the outcome in the June 28 state
Democratic Primary.
Many reported the race was
close and said their counties would
shift before the balloting.
Talmadge Defense
Hitting at Thompson’s stand that
he is for the county unit system
and it is not an issue, Talmadge
declared, “my opposition in this
race has been part and parcel of
a continuing plot to destroy it.

Now the Air Force says the X-1A will be equipped with a tur
bine driven fuel pump which should give improved performance,
With such a fuel pump, the little research plane is designed to
{ly at a top speed of 1,700 miles an hour 15 miles above the earth,
In addition, the Air Force has stated that the turbine fuel pump
will enable it to operate full blast for 4.2 minutes, compared with
2.5 mrinutes using the pressureized nitrogen fuel system. Space
which has been taken up by metal bottles of nitrogen can be de
voted in the new model to increase fuel supply.
Two other modified versions of the X-1 are on order, but the
Air Force declined to say how they will differ from the original or
from the X-lA. 5
The announced purpose of the testing program with the X-1 was
to gather information regarding supersonic flight generally.
The purpose of the testing program for the X-lA, the Air Force
says, is to gather information on “specific aspects of supersonic
flight.”
What those aspects are, it will not say.
As with the X-1, the flight tests of the X-1A are planngd at
Edwards Air Force Base at Muroc, Calif. :

0f Athens Dies
News has been received from
New York City of the death of
Mrs. G, DeWitt Williamson. She
will be remembered by her friends
here as Marion Edwards, the
younger daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. James A. Edwards, for
merly of Athens.
Her father was born and raised
on the old Edwards plantation,
OCglethorpe county. He became a
civil engineer and his work and
interests mainly centered in new
rai'lroads. He finally moved to
New York City where he became
affiliated with the firm of R. T.
Wilson.
Mrs Williamson’s mother, Eliz
abeth Scudder, was born and grew
up in the old Scudder home next
to the First Presbyteriar Church
where the new post office now
stands.
Starting life in Vicksburg,
Mississippi, May 9, 1883, Mrs.
Williamson returned frequently to
the ancestral homes of her parents
and learned to hold with affection
the traditions of that generation.
In later years she visited in the
homes of her two uncles, L. Frank
Edwards and Charles A. Scudder,
Her marriage to Mr. William
son, a New York business execu
tive, developed their mutual ap
preciation of music and travel.
They expended their energies on
the sociai, civic and religious in
terests of a large city.
Mrs. Williamson concentrated
her ability as chairman of the
Board for the Older Women’s
Protestant Home in New York
City. She gave many ardent and
fruitful years to this stupendous
organization. -

Smith followed close behind with
1198. Former Senator Robert R,
Reynolds, trying for a comeback
after six years out of the Senate
trailed with 209 votes. Olla Ray
Boyd, small town pig breeder and
perennial candidate, had 20 votes.
Smith, a corporation lawyer, has
‘been a Democratic party stalwart
in the state for years, but during
‘the primary campaign he repeat
‘edly called some of President Tru~
man’s proposals “Socialistic.”
~ Graham and Smith met in the
party primary which is equal -to
election in North Carolina. ;
They had waged a bitter cam
paign. They ignored another cam
paigner, former Senator Robert R.
Reynolds, wartime isolationist.
And Raynolds, in turn, ignored
them. Out .of the running was
Olla Ray Boyd, small town pig
raiser whose frequent excursions
into campaigns have netted him
few wvotes.
While the senatorial contest was
paramount, the State’s Democrats
also voted on six congressmen.

BERLIN, May 27.—(AP)—A half million East German
youngsters played and cheered in Berlin’s Soviet seetor to
night in the greatest ideological spectacle here sinee Adolf
Hitler. The climax to the show comes tomorrow in & Whit
suntide parade.
A burst of harmless gunfire rattled through the earnival
air once during the day. The shooting apparently was in

police who seized a West Berliner and made off with him
into the Soviet sector, None was reported hurt,
~ The “Free German Youth”
(FDJ) rally, dedicated to friend
ship with Russia, started rolling
without any show of an organized
Putsch against wary but quiet
West Berlin. Allied armor stood
ready to stop any mass intrusions.
The Moscow-East Berlin avis
pumped a human stream of blue
shirted youth ranking from 6 to
24 years old into the devasted
heart of the old Nazi Reich with
something of the precision Hitler’s
generals once used to move armies,
In the three days since the youth
demonstration began, 35 police
men from the Russian sector have
fled to West Berlin seeking asylum
Fourteen of these deserted this
afternoon and turned themselves
over to ‘West Berlin refugee cen

A taunting crowd of anti-Com

on the west side of Potsdamer

when eastern police arrested a

Stalin your best friend,” Ulbricht
urged, . Sl :
The quiet west side had an air
of tension and readiness. Allied
authorities have threatened the
sternest measures to put down any
