British Light Plane Tested By US Airmen
Washington (U.P.)—The U.S. Air force appeared ready today to a gap in its jet engine plane program by buying British planes. There have been seven years of intensive U.S. work on jet air-ft, but the post-Korea expansion drive finds the Air force with light jet bomber ready for production right away.
britain's electric Canberra, an impressive twin-jet that flew the antic in a record-shattering four ears and 37 minutes, looks like the warer. Officially, the Canberra is for "evaluation." But Air force officers already have inspect- and flown it in Britain and the craft industry expects it to go to production at the Glenn L. Martin plant in Baltimore, Md. The fine performance of antitrust.
the time performance of an analog Douglas B-26 piston-engine in Korea seems to have received faith in light bombers. This especially true of "night intruders" for which the Camerra aid to be well equipped, various explanations are heard aviation circles for the absence in American light bomber that it be put in production. When Air Force was cut to 48 groups, decided it could afford only one t bomb group. And, until Korea,
Tactical Air command appeared with fighter planes carry-heavy bomb and rockets lofted one of the more gossipacious believe in the B-36 row allegeers in the M-24 row ago may have something to do with it. Martin's Baltimore it is one of the last to beight into the expansion program industry sources claim pross has been slow on its XB-51 bomber project.
ve Canberra is a multi-purpose ber as far as the British are erned. The Air force calls it all-weather night intruder. The sh information services label 600-mile an hour plane. But id not approach that speed in light here. The plane's average d across the Atlantic was 444 H. It did even better—about M.P.H. on its flight here from der, Newfoundland. It had head s both times and apparently id have flown about 500 M.P.H. out them.
oustanding features of the Cana-
 are its range and slow-flying fly. Squadron Leader Arthur Eurd, its pilot, said he had ample to spare after the 2,050-mile turf crossing. On a pass over by Andrews Air Force base lay, he slowed the ship to about miles an hour and then demonstrated a quick getaway. He called Canberra a "docile aircraft," plane also climbs to extremeades. It was reported to have as high as 47,000 feet on the from England.

ing into the fuselage. Its bomb-bay is of secret design but apparently involves a package arrangement permitting pre-loading of bombs.
The plane is designed to operate off short, rough fields, will fly at slow as well as very high speeds and has three jet engines. The experimental model streaked over Andrews Air base Friday shortly after the Canberra landed.
Washington (U.P.) — Postmaster General Jesse M. Donaldson will ask congress Tuesday, March 6, to end one of the nation's last 1-cent buys—the penny postcard.
It May Cost More To Write Home Now
The administration is trying again to double the price of the postcard as one method of taking a quick 163-million dollar bite out of next year's expected 521-million dollar postal deficit. A similar bill passed the house last year, but got stuck in the senate.
Chairman Tom Murray, (Dem-
Tenn.), of the house postoffice
committee, introduced the administration
bill for higher postal rates yesterday.
Hearings will begin on Tuesday.
in the senate.
President Truman has told congress that unless the public pays its way at the postoffice, the deficit will have to be made up by taxes—more taxes.
American Wants To Become Publicity Agent For Iran
Teheran, Iran (U.P.)—Vincent Lee Hillyer, the Californian who married the Irianian Shah's sister, said he wants to build a palace and become Iran's press agent.
The shepherd represents one of the oldest occupations known to man. ___
"Iran is such a wonderful place," he said, "But who knows about it?"
Hillyer, who was a student when he married Princess Fatima, has become a Mohammed and taken the first name Ali.
"Ilam is a very practical religion," he said, riffling the pages of a Koran. "Once you know it, you find it in essence very much like the Christian and other religions.
Hillyer said that after they return to Iran next winter he will build a palace for himself and Fatima and ask the Shah for a job.
Hillyer was interviewed in the spacious study of the palace of Prince Ahmed Reza, which he is occupying during the owner's absence in Europe. He and his wife plan to make a trip to Pakistan and Turkey in the spring and to the United States in "May, after the Shah's coronation.
"The best job I would like would be something whereby I could show Iran to the rest of the world," he said. "I think I could help Iran most in this respect."
Hillyer said Iran is ideal for tourists.
"I've learned to bounce in unison with the horse and thoroughly enjoy it." he said.
He will spend six months of every year in Iran and the other six months in the U.S., he said.
"There are ski grounds around Teheran, casinos and swimming beaches in the Caspian, tiger and big game hunting in the jungles of Mazandaran," he said. "Archaeologically, this country is no less interesting than the Pyramids."
Shah Mohammed Reza Pahliev wasn't very happy when his sister
married an American, but Hillier said this had been smoothed over. "They are on the best of terms now," he said.
