26 (U.PJ— Speeds of more 1 than 1400 miles an twice the speed of are being flown by special experimental devices, Dr. C. C. Furnas, research chief for the Curtiss-Wright airplane division, revealed today. He predicted that such speeds would be feasible for commercial aircraft in about 25 Dr.

Furnss made tnese disclosures in an interview with a group of 16 reporters who are making a reconversion tour of the nation's key industries. At Low Altitude He would not disclose what kind of flying devices are being used in the experiments with super-sonic speeds but said that some were winged. All of these ultra-high speed tests have been carried out at relatively low altitudes. The special flying devices used in the experiments were built by the Curtiss-Wright Airplane Division research laboratory in cooperation with other organizations, which Dr. Furnas would not identify.

He cited many of the problems encountered in flight from 500 to 750 miles an hour and at higher speeds tip to and beyond 1,400 miles an hour. The newsmen were taken into the basement of the research laboratory and were permitted to witness a demonstration in a miniature wind tunnel that showed the effects created by speeds higher than the speed of sound. A tiny wing foil, no longer than a razor blade, set up visible shock waves as the speed in the tunnel attained a force of 1,200 miles an hour.

Guerrillas Said Island Menace WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 President Truman said today the stability of the Philippine government is threatened by a Philippine guerilla army which has not disbanded. Mr. Truman sent letters to several government agency heads concerning 'the Philippines. He ordered High Commissioner Paul V.

McNutt to undertake an immediate investigation of "agrarian unrest" in the islands. Fought Against Japs He called on Attorney General Tom Clark to send expert personnel to the islands to recommend action that will rid the commonwealth government of numerous Quislings who, the President said, stil! hold important posts. The President told McNutt that in the provinces near Manila thousands of sharecroppers organized years ago to demand a more equitable division of their products and for several years there was no effective solution. "During the war," the President's letter said, "the tenants organized a guerilla army which reportedly did good work against the enemy. Constitute Problem "After the enemy was defeated in their localities, they did not disband and today they constitute a special problem which threatens the stability of government." The President reminded McNutt that the guerillas have a legitimate claim to fair treatment and that their aid in the war effort required that they be not dealt with ruthlessly.

The President told Clark that while the mass of the Filipino people lemained loyal during the Japanese occupation, regrettably a number of persons "prominent in the political life o'f the country assisted the enemy in the formulation and enforcement of his political policies and the spread of his propaganda." Citing reports that "a number of persons who gave aid and comfort to the enemy are now holding important offices in the commonwealth government," the President asked Clark to send experienced Federal Bureau of Investigation agents to the islands to discover the status of suspect persons and recommend action through McNutt. War and Navy department intelligence staffs also were asked to aid in the investigation. The President said it was "essential that this task be completed before the holding of the next commonwealth general election." All Texas CIO Unions Back Textile Strike Oct. 26 (U.R) A. R.

BUILDERS SUPPLY Bradford Discusses Radar At Club Meet John R. Bradford, former Navy radar officer now associated with a geophysical firm here, told members of the American Business club at their Friday luncheon in the Hilton hotel that many returning servicemen will devote their lives to assist in the 'engineering job of converting radar to peacetime use. Reviewing the history of radar, Bradford's discussion was highlighted by projection slides showing radar equipment from its stages of development when research was begun in America in 1922 up to the present tune. "Little is known about radar by the layman because its censorship ban was lifted when the atomic bomb was released aad sli interest was centered on this new scientific development," Bradford said. He emphasized the fact that radar is the most effective counter-measure to atomic bombing.

Luncheon guests were Jack Chandler of Amarillo, Truett (Red) Brooks, Joe McManus, Henry C. Cox, and Alvin Goldstruck- er, former member recently returned from the service. J. A. Fortenberry welcomed new members Roy Krebbs and J.

D. Hinson. A. C. Sanders was program chairman and Jimmie Wilson, president, presided.

Navy Eager To Test Atom Bomb's Power WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. The Navy disclosed officially today that it is eager to test the atom bomb's power against a surface fleet and as a depth charge, It would not, however, say where or when the tests will be made. "Before either of the experiments can be undertaken," the Navy said, "much work remains to be done, but the Navy is anxious that these tests be undertaken as soon as the mechanics are worked out." The tests obviously will be of tremendous significance in connection with the future design and size of Naval fleets. The Navy, however, did not go into this aspect of the still largely untested power of the atom.

It said merely that it was "very desirous" of finding out just what the atoin bomb will do to ships on the surface and just what kind of force it will emit when detonated in deep water under the surface. The Navy said it had received many inquiries as to where and when the tests would be made and on what kind of ships. It would not, however, undertake to answer any of them. Brazil Tense Over Rumors Of Revolt RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 26 Great tension prevailed in this Brazilian capital today after a night in which the armed forces and po- lice were on the alert over rumors of an impending revolution.
