Advance of Helicopter
Marked by 2,800 Made
So Far in United States
The rapid advancement of the
helicopter is reflected by the fact
that the estimated 2,800 helicop
ters so far produced in the United
States have flown some 1,200,000
hours—equal to about 137 years
of flying by a machine that first
went into commercial production
only seven years ago.
According to an article in the
current issue of PLANES, official
publication of Aircraft Industries
Association, rotorplane manufac
turers are now in active produc
tion on 13 helicopter models. The
manufacturers report wide var
iety of models in various stages
of design and development. They
range in size, according to the
International Air Transport Assn.,
from one- to 60-place craft.

CUE CHAMP PRACTICES FOUR HOURS DAILY
Here's the shot that won for Ray Kilgore the world three
cushion billiard championship. The 40-year-old expert of the
five-cushion shot says "make all the easy shots. The tough
ones will take care of themselves.
By RUSS NEWLAND ,
AP Newsfeatures
SAN FRANCISCO— Personable
Ray Kilgore, the world three
cushion billiard champion, offers
this simple advice on how to be
come a title contender.
“Make all the easy shots and
you must be there or thereabouts
in top competition. The hardest
thing in billiards is to consistent
ly click on the minor shots. You
know they are easy so sometimes
you let down. The tough ones will
take care of themselves.
Wille Hoppe, the grand old man
of the sport who retired from ac
tive competition after winning the
three-cushion diadem in 1952 for
his twelfth such victory, was in
the audience in Chicago when
Kilgore made his final bid for the
1953 title. It was the last match
of the tournament.
Kilgore had to win this one or
fall into a three-way tie for first
place. His opponent was the Ar
gentine champion and odds-on fa
vorite to succeed the great Hoppe
—Ezequiel (Zeke) Navarra.
Hoppe leaned over to a fellow
spectator and said;
“Ray Kilgore is the finest five
cushion shot maker in the world.”
The count was 49-48, Kilgore
ahead. Navarra had just played a
tight safety, leaving his rival with
what appeared to be an impossible
shot.
Kilgore studied the setup. He
called a five cushion bank. The
ball zipped around the able, hit
ting five rails before cuddling up
to the object balls. The point that
won a world championship had
been made.
“It was the tensest moment of
my life,” Kilgore recalls.
Kilgore is a tall, handsome fel
low, 40 years old. By the way,
ladies, he is a bachelor.
San Francisco has been Kil
gore’s home since 1931, except fur
a five-year stretch in the Army
in World War II. He took up
three-cushion billiards here and
has played this variety for 15
years.
Billiard champions really work
at their profession. Kilgore prac
tices from four to six hours daily.
In addition, he gives lessons.
Kilgore’s class increased to cap
acity since his world triumph. He
says women are showing added
interest as players.

Prediction by Butler
Hawaii Boundary
Can Be Defined
To Satisfy All
WASHINGTON, bPi— Chairman
Butler (R-Neb) of the Senate In
terior Committee predicted Tues
day that the boundary of the pro
posed new state of Hawaii can be
defined to the satisfaction of all
concerned.
The boundary question was one
of the subjects on which the com
mittee stumbled early this year
in its consideration of statehood
for the territory.
Delegate Farrington (R-Hawaii)
assured the committee at the start
of a new hearing Monday that
Hawaii does not claim waters
more than three miles off shore
around each of the islands.
The status of the channels be
tween the islands was raised in
connection with the legislation
enacted by Congress earlier this
year granting the states the rights
of lands beneath off-shore waters
within “historic state boundaries.”
Farrington was questioned at
length Monday by Sen. Smathers
(D-^a) about the extent of Com
munism in Hawaii, about down
ward population trends and the
extent to which Hawaii depends
on military expenditures to bol
ster its economy.
Farrington conceded that Com
munism is a problem in Hawaii,
but said the pqpple are fully alert
to its menace.
He agreed with Smathers that
the International Longshoremen’s
and Warehousemen’s Union is
“Communist dominated,” but said
he did not believe the rank and
file in the union is in sympathy
with Communism.
Farrington blamed a recent
papulation decrease on layoffs at
the Pearl Harbor naval base after
World War II but predicted that
an increase in the tourist business
soon will offset the loss.
The average Scottish worker
spends about 5Vz percent of his
wages on rent.
Okay to Call Him a Monkey
NEW DELHI, (jD — In India,
where monkeys are holy, it is now
officially permissible for one
member of parliament to call an
other a simian. Parliament speak
er M. A. Ayyangar said he had
no objection after an exchange
following a clash between Prime
Minister Nehru and Communist
deputies.
