Clark told Mr. Trumaa before the surprise nomination was announced last, ,r Saturday that he would not retire tronri the army to ’ accept the ambassadorship, and the administration's top legal, experts doubt they .can find a loophole .in 'th£ 80-year-old law. \ Clark, the army’s ground force commander, could be sent to the Vatican as Mr. Truman’s “personal OmM SwUoliw w A»1 IM CvlMhm ■ >' II 11 ■■■« . ■ ■lllis

Informed sources said it may be possible to establish an "interim embassy” with a career diplomat serving as charge d'affaires trending arrival of an ambassador. ‘ They said there were no apparent legal object tons to such a move, but noted that oftier obstacles would : enter the picture, the most import- ( ant of which would ba financing the action. The general accounting office, these sources said, would have to decide whether government funds could be spent for the mis- , sion.

' ' 1 J | J One-Man Helicopter Is Undergoing Tests 'Buck Rogers' Era Is One Step Closer Los Angeles. Oct. 23 —(UP)—The “Buck Rogers’’ era was one step closer today with the announce meta that a oneman helicopter for possible use in hedge-hopping troops in battle was ia the test stages. The helicopter currently is under going ground tests at a military base near here. I It was invented by Gilbert MaGill of the MotorOraft Corp., who calls it the "pinwheel.” Th* device has not yet been flown, but MaGill said “ft is an approach to a man’s having wings on his back,” It was developed for the office of naval research and consists of two small rotor blades, each with a rocket at the tip. Running down from the rotors is a steel tube which supports a bicyctetype seat for the pilot, a cargo hook and two fuel tanks. Another steel tube extends about three feet to the r*ar with a small rudder at the end for use in controling the direction of flight. The whole business weighs less than 100 pounds and can be parked in a space do larger than the top of an office desk. A single "joy stick” is used to govern the speed of the rotors and to control the action of the rudder, the pilot’s feet serve as his landing but a small tripod may be attached for this purpose. The pinwheel operates with the pilot straddling the seat with the "pinwheel’’ strapped to his waist. It is anticipated, MaGill said, that he will be able to fly like an airplane by operating the motors with their rocket fuel. With the power off, he should be able to glide or descend like a helicopter. I , The operator will wear a flying suit with a plastic face that serves as a windshield. j h, !
