Russia’s Jet Airplanes When Nikita Khrushchev arrived in the United ■ States on a Tu-114 turboprop airliner, many Americans realized for the first time that Russia’s commercial international air fleet is far ahead of the western world’s, including even Britain’s, which is two years ahead of the United States. The Russian turbojets can make a nonstop flight from Moscow to New York city in 11 hours. Three years ago, Aeroflot, the Russian commercial air fleet, was uaing early vintage DC-3’s, and serviced only Peking, Copenhagen, and Helsinki outside the Soviet border. Today, it is a first-class jet-powered competitor on the international scene. Recently Robert Hotz, of Aviation Week, reported on his second trip to the Soviet Union. "Looking back on our own entry into the Soviet Union in June, 1956, we remember the 160 m.p.h. IL-EZ’s, with propellers that defied synchronization, a 200-pound stewardess whose only uniform apparently was a red sweater and the long, rattling, vibrating grind from Copenhagen to Riga to Vnukovo (Moscow airport). Remembering this, it was hard to believe the 500 m.p.h. service we flew last month (June) in a Tu-1048 twin jet from Tashkent to Tbilisi with nattily uniformed stewardesses, hot in-flight meals, a 96-passenger load and a smooth, relatively quiet and vibrationless ride that gobbled up one of the world’s largest deserts, the Caspian Sea and a piece of the Caucasus mountains in just three hours despite head winds. “It was equally hard to reconcile the 11-18 service we sampled on the 2,100 mile, nonstop run from Moscow to Alma-Ata, almost equivalent of transcontinental U.S., in five hours with two adequate in-flight meals, comfortable but not overly large reclining seats and a smooth cruise at 25,000 feet altitude and a ground speed of 510 m.p.h., with our 1956 experience. The airline that had only six Tu-104, 50-paesenger jet transports in mid-1956 and had to use bombers to provide its crews with jet transition training, today operates nearly 200 gas turbine transports with more rolling off the production lines every month." Wayne Rothgeb, who returned recently from his second visit to Russia, reported that air travel was much improved this year, and that the airports were especially impressive, but that it was often necessary to bump and grind over dirt cow paths to get to the modern air* ports. . , Hotz warns Americans, in his closing paragraph, “keep an eye on Aeroflot. Don’t be surprised if it emerges as a tough competitor in the international airline business during the next five years.’’

Typhoon Death. Toll In Japan Over 5,000
NAGOYA, Japan (UPD — The toll of dead and missing in typhoon - ravaged Japan soared above the 5,000 mark today. Typhoid and dysentery swept through the area, adding new despair to a stricken people unable even to bury their dead. Japanese police released new casualty figures from Typhoon Vera, the worst in Japan's recorded history, showing 3,265 dead and 1,770 missing. More than 10,000 persors were injured and 1,500,000 were homeless. The government, aided by foreign countries including the United States, was rushing aid to the disaster area but flood victims complained that help was slow in coming. Morale was at rock bottom and discouraged refugees said they were even more helpless at the lack of immediate aid and the scenes around them. “Where do you begin?” asked ward official Taro Iwatani of the town of Yoshida, once a rice granary, now a sodden mass. "It’s like having your arms and legs torn off. All we know is that the whole district is under water, and the bodies are buried down below.” Nagoya was the hardest hit with more than 1,000 persons known dead. Flood waters still covered Minato and Minami wards and small boats sailed across what were once prosperous streets. "Help is too slow in coming,” said Eiji Hirano, a teacher at Nagoya's Nanyo primary school. “Tbe local ward office has its hands full disposing of the bodies. It may be disrespectful to the dead but it is more important to help the living.” The living were short of drinking water and food and faced with outbreaks of the two disaster diseases—typhoid and dysentery — from drinking contaminated water. Officials reported 100 cases of dysentery in Nagoya. Newspapers said 2,000 persons were ill. Health and sanitation workers checked reports of typhoid, while Japan army units sent in canned water. Nine Men Indicted I By Indianapolis Jury i INDIANAPOLIS (UP!) - Nine ' men. including a Courthouse jani- j tor and a former deputy assesosr, ; were under indictment by a Mar- j lon County grand jury today in connection with the operation of a , black market in drivers’ licenses. ] The nine men were accused of ] bribing Donald G. Cochrane, a ( state license examiner who was < sentenced to 90 days on the Indi- i ana State Farm Sept. 21 for accepting payment for the phony li- ; censes. The grand jury indicated it did ' not consider the matter closed. ; In a memo attached to the indict- : ments. the jury said its action •‘should not be interpreted as clos- 1 ing the door on further investigation of ilegal issuance of drivers’ licenses.” Prosecutor Phillip Bayt said the j grand jury heard evidence leading to the indictments last February ' and March but delayed action un- 1 til after Cochrane was sentenced. Two of the nine men were ' charged specifically with paying s3r each to Cochrane to influence his judgment on license applica- ; tions and the other seven with "encouraging” the alleged bribery. Cochrane resigned last November after a probe was begun to j determine how certain drivers J whose licenses had been revoked . obtained new ones.

Only High Schools Affected By Law INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Indiana Atty Gen. Edwin K. Steers Tuesday withdrew a previously issued official opinion dealing with school corporation reorganization and replaced it with a second opinion. In tiie first ruling, issued at the request of State School Supt. William E. Wilson last Aug. 6, Steers said the 1959 School Corporation Reorganization Act "has application to all school buildings, gymnasiums or school facilities, including elementary and junior high school .buildings.” But Tuesday, Steers said a closer analysis so the law indicated the Legislature intended it to apply only to high schools, not elementary grades. Steers said several interpretations of the statute were possible because of “the ambiguous words and phrasing used.” But he said correspondence with members of the General Assembly, attorneys, school administrators and other persons convinced him that the act applied only to high schools. Steers ruling did not affect the entire reorganization law but only Sectidn 16, that which pertains to new building construction. “The copy of this opinion dated Aug. 6, 1959, is withdrawn and I request that you remove the same from your file so that no misunderstanding will arise in the future,” Steers wrote Wilson. The original opinion had dealt with the Legislative ban on new construction by school corporations with an enrollment equivalent to less than four classroom units. Begin Consultations On Disarming Policy LONDON (UPD — Government sources disclosed today the United States and Britain have begun consultations on a coordinated Allied disarmament policy. The talks Were prompted by the need to align western arms-cut ideas and to present a united allied front at East-West disarmament negotiations in Geneva early next year. The talks already begun also were aimed at meeting the challenge of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's latest call for a complete scrapping of arms throughout the world within the next four years. The sources said France, Canada, and Italy, the other members of the allied negotating team that will meet in Geneva, will also be consulted in the talks almany. The Soviet bloc members of the Geneva negotiating team will be Russia. Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. The Russians’ disarmament bid, offered by Khrushchev at the United Nations two weeks ago, called for total disarmament or a partial arms cut. Britain also has offered an arms cut project, to be carried out in three states. It would lead to neartotal disarmament, but would be accompanied by ironclad international controls to safeguard against cheating. The government sources ipade it clear the British plan was so far only a broad outline of general western thinking on how disarmament might be effected.

f Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE O O Rug Shampoo Make your own rug shampoo just by mixing up a pail of lukewarm water and rich, mild soapsuds. Soak a cloth in this, wring out partially, and scrub a small area at a time with it. Dip another rough cloth in lukewarm clear water, to which a little powdered alum has been added, and wipe off the suds with that. Piano Keys One often-effective method of ( ipaking yellowed piano keys white again is to wash with a flannel soaked in cologne, instead of water. Lemon juice or alcohol is also very effective. White Gloves If a white glove rips accidentally, just as you are'putting it on to go out, and there is no time to mend it, put a smalf strip of edhesive plaster over it on the inside of the glove and it will not be noticed. .
