Hawthorne, Calif. (UP) — The plane that looks like a boomerang, Northrop's giant, tailless flying wing, has undergone final adjustments in preparation for trial runs within the next six weeks.
The plane, known as the XB-35 by the army, which ordered it built as an experimental bomber, was the

result of 23 years of study and development by its designer. Jon K. Northrop, noted aeronautical engineer.
Although performance figures were withheld by the army, the first detailed announcement and preview of the plane disclosed it could carry more bombs farther and faster than any comparable plane.
The odd-shaped plane can fly 10,000 miles with a "substantial" load of bombs and has a lifting capacity off the ground of 60 tons of bombs. In comparison, the B-29 superfortress has a total weight of 65 tons including plane, bombs and full gas tanks.
Measuring 172 feet from wingtip to wingtip, the plane weighs 104 tons when fully loaded. Its four 3,000-horsepower motors, bomb bays,

gas tanks and crew of 15 men are all housed within the wings. The plane is 53 feet long from nose to tail and its wings sweep back like a boomerang, coming to a point in a transparent leading edge.
In the world's roomiest cockpit, the pilot, co-pilot, bombardier and fire control officer can sit abreast. The ship can carry 135 per cent more than it weighs.

They Loved It In Oskaloosa!

We will crate and ship your gift.
The audience was almost unanimous in its contention that the show was fine entertainment and in its wishes that more Oskie-ites had attended the performance. If the Oskaloosa reaction is any indication, the University youngsters should meet with all sorts of success during the remaining performances of the show.

THE K.U. VARIETY SHOW
Each of the other acts showed a degree of talent seldom seen on the Oskaloosa stage, particularly of note being the pleasing voice of Harriett Harlow and the dancing of Georgia Lee Westmoreland.
A world premiere was held in Oskaloosa last Monday night, but went unnoticed by a majority of the townspeople. A group of K.U. students, through the courtesy of the K.U. Memorial Association, came up to Oskaloosa for the first public presentation of their new student variety show, "Yucca, Yucca," for the benefit of the University of Kansas World War II Memorial Fund.
The show was a light musical variety and everyone seemed to have a good time including the audience. Terry Horiott, the Master of Ceremonies, stole the show with his takeoff of "Red" Skelton's radio announcer skit, and his commentary throughout the program was indeed clever, although his style was cramped by the partly high-school age audience.
