, Sabotage Suspected

I BOSTON—Charlestown Navy Yard was clamped in a vise of security today as FBI agents and Naval
Intelligence officers investigated apparent sabotage which caused $300,000 damage to the destroyer
Pritchett, shown above docked for repairs at the yard. Metal chips were found in the badly damaged
reduction gears of the ship. The damage occured almost a month ago during dock trials at the yard.
GROWING NEED OF ELECTRONIC BRAINS
IN JET AIRCRAFT DESCRIBED IN “PLANES”
Pilots of today s supersonic air
craft could not survive in combat
without the aid of electronic
equipment that works faster than
theif own brains.
Describing the need for com
plex electronic gear in modern jet
j aircraft, an article in “Planes,” of
; ficial publication of Aircraft In
| dustries Association, states that
| with each advance in speed and
j performance, devices are neces
! sary to compensate for failure of
the human element.
Supersonic speeds have so in
| creased the complexity of modern
l military planes that the electrical
I and electronic gear alone in the
| cockpit of one jet aircraft today is
| equal (in complexity) to the com
| bined circuits of a city power
I system, a radio broadcasting sta
tion, a television broadcasting
station, and the fire control sys
tem of a battleship.
Without the aid of this equip
ment, according to Planes, human
survival would be impossible. The
1 article adds that the increasing
i need for “pilot protection” de
vices is a primary factor contrib
| uting to the cost of modern mili
| tary planes.
Theoretically, if two pilots flv
i ing at 1,200 m.p.h. emerged from
a cloud in a collision course about
a mile and a half apart, and were
j ''ooking directly at each other,
I they would not see one another
I before they crashed head - on.
They would be traveling faster
| than the speed of human nerve
impulses.
