infant U. S.-Britain speed record
three times in a few hour?.
The last of the six-jet pfanes to
land made the best time. It com-
pleted the 3,120- mile noa - stop
flight from Limestone, Me., in
five hours 22 minutes—an average
of 575 m.p.h.
That sliced 14 minutes off a rec-
ord set only 24 hours ago by two
other Stratojets and which already
had twice been bettered earlier
today.
The sleek, atom bombers of the
U. S. Air Force 306th Medium
Bomber Wing came out of the sky
with the regularity of commuter
trains, and they smashed records
almost as fast as they could be
written down.
Today's flights completed the
three-day transfer of the wing's
45 planes from MacDill Field, Fla.,
for 90 days of duty at this Amer-
ican airbase nestling in sleepy
Gloucestershire.
The planes were battle-loaded
with dummy atom bombs to simu-
late operational conditions, and
came in here at 15-minute inter-
vals. Tanker planes, which accom-
panied them in case any Stratojet
ran short of fuel on the way, were
not needed.
The crew of the fastest plane in-
cluded Capt. James B. Carter, 28-
year-old regular skipper of the
ship, who comes from Charleston,
S. C., and the two senior officers
of his squadron—who traveled with
him as crew on this ocasion and
took turns at the controls.
They were Squadron Command-
er Lt. Col. Benny B. Klose, 36, of
Tampa, Fla., and Lt. Col. Law-
rence H. Grant, of Corpus Christi,
Tex.
The speed record for a direct
flight from the United States to
England also was held briefly to-
day by a B47 crew which crossed
in five hours 29 minutes. The air-
craft comander was Maj. Frank
M. Rennelly, of Boswell, N. J.
Maj. Ralph T. Parker, of Austin.
Tex., whs pilot and Maj. Edwin
E. Lasch of Philadelphia, Pa.,
navigated the speedster.
Rennely’s plane sliced one min-
ute off an earlier record, set at
11 a.m. today by Capt. Robert D.
Carlstrom of Minneapolis, Minn.,
and his two crewmen—Capt. F. D.
Clarke of Ft. Worth, Tex., and
Capt. Jack Nicholson of San An-
tonio, Tex.
Carlstrom’s plane bettered by
six minutes the record of five
hours and 36 minutes set by two
other planes from 306th Wing yes-
terday.

Fire Marshall P. W. Clooney said
the Alco Fireworks and Specialty
Company did not have a permit
for the warehouse which blew up.
The blast wrecked several other
business firms and numerous
houses in the vicinity, two miles
west of downtown Houston. Several
houses a quarter of a mile from
the explosion site caught fire. Win-
dow glass was shattered two miles
away.
“At a minimum this should be a
loss of three million dollars,” po-
lice chief L. D. Morrison said.
An official investigation was
headed by City Attorney Will
Sears.

The FHA official, who was form-
erly mayor of Wichita Falls, said:
"A map I know recently went
to Washington, D. C. and stayed
for a month, trying to find out
just what the situation is, or will
be, on FHA loans. He was inform-
ed the lending agencies are hold-
ing back on loans, hoping there
will be another interest rate in-
crease.
"He feels that if such an increase
in not soon forthcoming, the lend-
ing agencies will start making FHA
loans at the present iinterest rate
of four-and one-half per cent.”
Shepherd emphasized that FHA
offices want to make loans.
"We are there to make loans so
people can own their own homes,”
he stated.
“I’ve had this job for over 18
years,” he said. “When we first I
Started, it was very difficult to get
a lending agency to loan money on
FHA houses. Now, we are almost
back where we started in that res-
pect.”
Bohm Falk, chief underwriter of
the Dallas district accompanied
Shepherd and outlined the section
by which loan application are ap-
proved.
He also told the realtors of the
assistance offered by the FHA for
those who wish to open sub-di-
visions.
