MINE PLANTING

Albania Takes First Step to Close the Mouth of Adriatic.

By GEORGE WELLER Times Foreign Correspondent

LONDON, Nov, 22, — The American squadron now cruising through

the eastern Mediterranean is paHolling waters where the fight avs for domination of : the inland sea has already begun. This is indicated by international naval findings in the Corfu mine cases: The inquest was conducted by the “inter - allied central mine A clearance board,” comprising the Mr. Weller ited States, Britain, Russia, Greece, France and Yugoslavia, with Yugoslavia absenting.

Albania, smallest Soviet satellite of the Balkans, is taking the first step to close the mouth of the Adriatic by clandestine mine fields in waters hitherto held free for allied naval traffic. Strategically, this move seems directly connected with the Russian-Yugoslav-Albanian effort to pry American and British forces out of Trieste. An Adriatic, .closed by mines, would be Soviet-dominated on the eastern shore and later, possibly, also on the western coast, if a Communist government should come to power in Italy. 43 Lives Lost The allies have been trying to determine why two of their destroyers exploded, with a loss of 43 lives, a few weeks ago in Corfu channel after it supposedly had been swept clean. This important passage is the] linchpin between the Greek and Albanian coasts, since Corfu faces] both. Moreover, Greek Corfu is the! traditional summer cruise base for fl the British Mediterranean fleet, alternating with Argostolion in southern Greece. The British swept the passage

to the Corfu passage, which i customary in peacetime. The British accept the challenge by sweeping without Albanian consent, Hug Italian Shore American warships makipg. the run northward to Trieste hug the Italian shore of the Adriatic and are in no immediate danger of being blown up by mines. But, long-term domination of Corfu's deepwater naval harbor—with artillery positions within easy 75-caliber distance of both Albanian and Greek shores —is at stake in the mining of the northern entrance without open warning, Moreover, Albanian and Greek highways which lead to Epirus, subject of Greece's claim against Albania, meet at the Adriatic. It is evident that American mine{sweepers as well as airplane carriers {and destroyers will be necessary in the Mediterranean as the struggle for position develops. Lacking, however, any formally authorized permanent naval bases in the eastern Mediterranean, American ships have little leverage other than as a “fleet in being.”

RICHMOND BAKERY PICKETING IS ENDED

RICHMOND, Ind. Nov. 22 (U. P.).—A temporary restraining order was in force today, preventing members of two A. F. of L. unions from picketing the plant of the Richmond Baking Co. Circuit Judge C. H. Hoelscher of Wayne county issued the order against James Katz, business agent of the A. F. of L. Teamsters union local, and C. R. Kinnaman, vice president of the A. F. of L.

NEW PLANE MAY HIT 1700 M.P.A.

Tests on 1st Supersonic U. S. Craft to Begin.

By CHARLES CORDERY United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-—Some-time between Dec, 1 and 15, a young Bell Aircraft Corp, test pilot plans to go aloft in this country's first supersonic plane, the XS-1. He will explore the mysteries and dangers of flight in the tricky region around the speed of sound. The rocket-powered plane that 23-year-old Chalmers “Slick” Goodlin of Greensburg, Pa. will fly at Muroc air field, Cal, was designed as an army air forces airborne laboratory with a top speed of 1700 miles an hour at 80,000 feet.

It is the result of combined efforts

| theory what will happen tor the plane when it passed out of the subsonic speed region, where air flows smoothly over its surfaces. Beyond the speed of sound, there will be an invisible wall; “messengers” which travel in the air at the speed of sound will not be able to prepare for the onrushing plane and the alr will pile up under and over the plane, causing vibration instead of a smooth flow.

Will Work Up Gradually

Some authorities believe that the late Geoffery DeHavilland, famed British pilot, hit the supersonic. wall when his radically designed jet plane disintegrated suddenly during a test flight about seven weeks ago. Mr. Goodlin, who flew with the Royal Canadian air force, the Royal air force and eventually with the U. 8. navy, plans to work up to the sound barrier gradually. Bell's contract with the AAF provides that first powered flights of the XS-1 will be up to 80 per cent of the speed of sound, or about 600 miles an hour.

SAYS: ‘““TRADITION

AAF said today, attempts will be {made to push through the barrier lof sound. Engineers of the supersonic plane are unable to anticipate anything beyond the transonic speed range (600 to 800 mph.), for beyond this point nothing is known.” The XS-1 is the sturdiest plane

powered by a rocket motor with 6000 pounds thrust. At first, however, an alternate will be used. With the latter, the top speed is estimated at 1000 miles an hour at 60,000 feet. Described by the AAF as the “most significant engineering development of the year,” the X8-1, a small plane 31 feet long with 28-foot wingspan, is the forerunner of tomorrow's supersonic military military planes.
