"Mverything w* t top*, the plane, the engine, the flight,” the 21 year old e* RAF pilot said. "It wasn't until I turned on the fourth cylinder for a few second* that I got a noticeable shove forward.

In the inaugural powered flight, the plane carried only 600 gallons of fuel, which lasted two seconds less than seven minutes because of the "loafing” speed of the craft—actually as fast as the rated speed of P RO jet fighters. Fuel for a full speed flight flares from the tubes at a ton a minute. o- ■ To Receive Proposals For Star Mail Routes Postmaster Leo Kinsch has been notified that the post office department will receive proposals up until 5:15 pm. on February 20. 1947. for carrying the mails of the United States, beginning July 1, 1947 to June 30, 1951, on the star routes that originate or pass through this city.
