NAVY TRIES JET HELICOPTER—William Murray of Wilton, Conn., pilots the Navy's experimental helicopter K-225. Instead of using velocity of exhaust gases for forward thrust, the craft uses this power to turn haft of rotor blades. Engine can operate on low grade fuels or on high octane gasoline. Unlike piston engine, the turbine requires neither a cooling fan or a centrifugal clutch. Engine is 175 h.p.
Allyn Browne, business graduate now of San Francisco, was chairman of the student committee which raised funds for the pictures in May and June of the past year.
Print Of Photo Sent To Malott
A print of the Karsh portrait of Deane W. Malott, former University chancellor, that hangs in the Union building was sent to Mr. Malotby by the student committee which raised the funds for the Karsh portrait.
Irvin E. Youngberg, secretary of the K.U. endowment association, said today that he had received a letter of thanks for the gift from Mr. Malott who asked that his "very deep gratitude" be expressed to all persons who contributed to the fund for the pictures.
There are over 6,000 plants in North Carolina's natural aboreum.
"I have never seen a picture of me which fills me with any great pride," wrote Mr. Malott, "but the interest of the faculty and students in this project honors me very greatly and for that I am most appreciative."

Life On A Lonely Island Appeals To U.S. Navy Man
Honolulu—U.P.)—Life on a lonely island appeals to Fred Pobst and his family.
So far he'd increased the island's fish exports, built a new school, introduced farm irrigation and started an industrial expansion program.
Pobst is a chief petty officer in the navy who has been assigned to Chi Chi Jima, in the Volcano islands, as the American military government representative and his nearest neighbors are in Yokosuka, Japan, 500 miles away.
The Pobsts were left on the tiny speck of rock and vegetation several months ago. Pobst reports to the navy in Hawaii that he is getting along quite well in his new job and has been "pretty busy."
Chief Pobst is the first navy enlisted man ever to hold such a post. As the only American on the island he is its governor, business adviser, lawyer, judge, school-teacher, and agriculture expert.
The Pobsts, including Mrs. Pobst and their 12-year-old daughter, Carol, live in an American-style
home that housed the Japanese weather station before the war. The cooking is done on an American range, but from there on out the similarity with modern living ends.
Groceries are shipped from Guam, 1,000 miles away, by ship and the service is monthly. The ship arrivals are headaches for Pobst. He must declare a holiday whenever the vessel arrives.
The Navy selected Pobst for the job because of his unusual Jack-of-all-trades qualifications. Being somewhat of a farmer he has taught the natives how to irrigate their crops and increase the yield. He also is carrying out experiments on the growth and development of various sub-tropical and tropical fruits on the islands.
Being a bit of a mechanic, the navy chief rigged up a refrigerator plant for the islands' fishermen, enabling them to increase their export of fresh fish.
