...This reborn church . . . would pronounce ordinance, ritual, creed, all nonessential for admission into the Kingdom of God or His Church. A life, not a creed, would be the test. ...

...shaft), the jet en gine needs little oil. The plane needs no warmup, is ready to fly 30 seconds after the motor starts. The pilot, relieved of worries about oil pressure, fuel mixture, propeller pitch, etc., has only three controls to operate: the stick, the throttle and rudder pedals. Test pilots have found the P-59 more maneuverable in the air than a conventional plane. Taxiing on the ground is tricky. Because there is no propeller to blow wind against the tail and rudder control surfaces for steering, pilots steer with the wheel brakes...
...problems in jet-plane design are 1) its high fuel consumption, 2) its approach to supersonic (i.e., faster than sound) speeds. (The Navy announced last week that it was building a 750-m:.p.h. wind tunnel to test jet planes.) At high speeds, the jet engine is more efficient than a conventional engine; it uses little more fuel at 500 m.p.h. than at 400. But because the jet engine usually must operate at maximum capacity from the start, it has been relatively inefficient at low speeds. Moreover, to cut air resistance, the P-59 has extremely thin wings which have...

...Eddy program, is by far the most widely publicized of the Services' projects. Nine months instruction in radio and a final rating of second class petty officer are offered to applicants who pass an unexacting physical and the who pass an unexacting physical and the more difficult Eddy test. In regard to the latter, Perkins stated that "any Harvard man who does satisfactory work here in mathematics or physics should expect to pass. He may, however, need to brush up on the details of radio shopwork...
