“L1t raises the question of whether the backlog of 688 airliner orders

aimed to keep present-day supremacy for United States airlines might possibly set us back several years because of inability to back timely production of new jet transports of far greater speed. Mr, Taylor, an aeronautical enEa ® gineer of 25 hf years’ experience, conducted a f complete survey of the aircraft Mr. Cook industry throughout the United States, England and the European continent. He gave special attention to turbo-jet and turbo-propeller engines. He reported: : ONE: That the British at this time are concentrating full resources and efforts on ‘development of new airplanes equipped with turbo-jet and turbo-propeller engines which will be superior to any present U. S. type. TWO: That their objective is apparently’ to capture from the United States a large share of the world market for air travel as well as for commercial aircraft. THREE: That the British may be able to develop, within possibly three years, commercial transport aircraft, to be sold’ in. quantity, whic will operate with safety at higher speed, with ‘greater comfort and at lower cost than contemporary airplanes available in the United States. Lists Eléven Types : He listed four commercial turbojet and seven turbo-propeller aircraft types on the British program. The turbo- jets include Tudor VIII, 40 passengers, four. turbo-jet engines; Vickers-Viking, 30 passengers, short range; Armstrong Whitworth, 25 passengers, flying wing with four turbo-jets, and a British Elegtric Co, 40 to 50 passengers, 500-mile-per-hour transport, already highly

The turbo-propeller planes include Saunders Roe 84-passenger with six turbo-propeller engines; Bristol long-range 132-passenger land plane with eight turbo-propel-

ler engines, and two different types of 30-passenger medium - range planes equipped with four ‘small turbo-propeller engines. = With the exception of six Repaiblic Rainbow 400-miles-per-hour transports, with reciprocating en-

cruisers of higher speed than the new. DC-8s, under order by Pan American and three other lines, United States airlines will have— during the coming three years—airliners in the 300-miles-per-hour category only. British Much Faster

Back Guaranteed Wage In the basic, steel industry—where close to a half million C. I. O. workers have settled down under a twoyear contract that gave them a 12% cent hourly raise — plans are’ already under way to popularize the guaranteed annual wage plan and make it a major issue for negotiations in 1049. The guaranteed annual wage already has been made the subject of a study and a guardedly favorable report by a commission appointed by President Truman. For years it has been a cherished objective of Philip Murray, president of the C, I. O. and the steel workers. The C. I. Os educational department can be expected to popularize the idea among steel workers in the next two years—until the guaranteed annual wage is as real to the rank and file as the cost of living issue.
