P.

The MIG wac tested in around- the-field flights and simulated battle with Sabres by test pilots from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. They included Maj. Charles Teager, first man to fly faster than the speed of sound. guerrillas in South Korea.

The pilots said the MIG lacked automatic equipment and controls. As a result, they said, the pilot was kept busy with the airplane and his attention was diverted from alert flying. The MIG, delivered into Allied hands last month, was built late in 1951 and was the same model as those flown by the Reds in combat over North Korea. An Air Force release said: "In. comparison to the F86, Home of the deficiencies of the MIG included lower maximum speed, insufficient stall warning and poor cockpit comfort.

Heating mnd ventilating systems were poor and the cockpit is so small that a. large man would have difficulty flying it." The U.

Official spokesmen insisted they could say nothing regarding the documents charge because an investigation was under way and because an executive order prohibited discussion under such a circumstance. The Army did announce, however, on Last Oct. 6 that several employes at Ft. Monmonth had been suspended "for security reasons" pending further investigation. But it would not disclose the number or names of persons suspended, nor specify charges upon which the suspensions were based.

It issued that statement after published reports that two top scientists and three others, all engaged in secret radar development had been suspended as security risks. The Ft. Monmouth-case had its inception in January 1952, when group of three Army officers and seven civilians petitioned Congress to investigate what they charged were lax security conditions at Ft. Monmouth. Newspaper reports published at that time said an undisclosed number of secret documents, reported previously to have been missing, had'been located.

Again in a reminiscent mood, Eisenhower said "Those of us, in those days when I was undoubtedly reflecting the opinion of my elders, because I certainly didn't have any opinion myself about the matter, confidently talked about the fact that the old scrub range cow would always hold ita own, that these new-fangled, fancy animals coming in from abroad and elsewhere just didn't have what it took to make a living in the short- grass country. "Well, it shows you how wrong people can be, when they prophesy against progress.

The president also said: "If cattlemen are in trouble, andi certainly in the allj are, it is not merely the cattlemen that the government! and all the rest of us must think about.

"The risk involved in not making soundings," Murphy stated, "is that you could lost your bridge. If the ground under this pier is not solid enough, the first flood might cause, trouble. "Some of the soil could wash out from under one corner of the pier, causing the whole bridge to tilt," Murphy continued. "On the other hand, the bridge could stand there for a hundred years and never budge." Just how solid the ground should be can be seen from the estimated weight of the pier alone.

The siie of the pier is about three feet wide, 12 feet long and IB feet high. It would take about 90 yards of concrete to fill those dimensions and one yard of concrete weighs two tons. Murphy estimated. Meanwhile, the bridge ii almost finished, according to C. D.

When completed the bridge will be the first of its kind in Indiana, north of Indianapolis, according to Callis.
