ii.0.A.0. Plans Super Jet A Service Across Atlantic

LONDON. (CP) - Britain's globe-glrdling Overseas Airways Corporation is planning a fleet of long-range passenger super- jets to streak across the Atlantic in pace with the sun-arriving in New York at the same time by the clock as they leave London.

Third Phase of Bid

Sir Miles Thomas. BOAC chair- man, explained in his annual re- port today that this will be" the "third phase" in Britain's bid for world air supremacy.

To do it. the jet airliner of the I

future would have to fly the 3,- 443 miles from London to New York in five hours. the time dif- ference between the two cities. at a near-supersonic speed of miles an hour. Such speeds ready have been app cached. At present, BOAC piston-engln- ed liners fly from New York to

al-

London in just less than 1:: hours averaging 270 miles an r hour. '

Thomas said the first phase in the battle was over when the Comet. the world's first jet air- liner. was put into service on Commonwealth flights. The' sec- ond phase is .approaching with Comets and turbo-prop Britain- nias providing express jet and tourist services.

Show Profit

For the first time since the uar BOAC showed a clear profit of 5290.000 for the year ending March. 1033. For the previous year BOAC reported a profit of T3.-150.000 but since this had to he set against a government aub- -uiv grant of s4,2oo.ooo, the years rosuit was actually a loss. No government-grant was received last year.

Thomas said BOAC's passenger list had increased from 250.173,in 1951, -.25'l'vtuir-"rnirdnui WAS raise to rse;156.519 about sno,noo,ooo. an improvement of 7.7 prr cent on the previous year." i

The year ended March was marked by impressive

1953 pro-

gress, he said: Civil jet flying was pioneered; low-fare tourist services were launched; the pay-

load capacity had been consider- ably increased.

During this winter, British Comets will begin exploratory high-altitude flights above the

North Atlantic.

-Potato Price Reflected - In

OTTAWA. Sept, 21--(Special)- For the first six months of 1953. Prince Edward Island farmers re- ceived about S4.000.000 less for their products than for the first six months of 1952. This is set forth in the Dominion Bureau of Statistical summary of farm cash income for the period made pub- lic today.

Cash income for, farmers in the Province for the first sixmonthl of 1952 was 315,574,000 while this year the six-month total dropped to 311,526,000. The decrease is attributed chiefly by the statlg; tics bureau to lower potato prices. ' '

0" Dotato in Canada generally. the bureau statement sols forth that: "Cash income from the sale oi potatoes suffer- ed a greater decline than any other single commodity during the January-June period of 1053.

dropping from 331,200,000 during the 1952 period to 818,700,000 this year. A substantial reduction in potato prices from the unusually high level of" a year ago was re- sponsible for this signlllcent de- crease."

The statement notes also that farm cash income from the sale of farm products was down in all provinces except Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan. In absolute terms the greatest decline occurred in Quebec while on a percentage basis it took place in Prince Ed- ward Island.

Other products which dropped in price this year along with po- tatoes are listed by the bureau as oats, tobacco and hogs. Dairy prices also were below par but it is explained that owing to in- creased production. total cash income from the sale of dairy products in 1953 overtopped that in 1952.

Speculale On MiG Brought To Seoul Field

SEOUL, (AP)--An anti-Commu- nist North Korean may have brought to Seoul a new-type MIG- 15 or a MiG-17. The latter is a twin jet. one of Russia'a,nt-west.

The Seoul newspaper Tong-A llbo, quoting an officer who had seen it, said it was a MiG-17. This seemed unlikely since the MiG-17 previously had been re- ported based oniy in Russia and Germany.

A spokesman for the United States 5th Air Force. which pre- viously had sald it was a MiG-15, could not "confirm anything that the Seoul prcss reports."

Some Allied airmen. who caught brief glim sea of the Rus- sian-built jet ater the North Korean pilot made a perfect landing at Seoul's Kimpo air- field Monday. thought it was a new-model MiG-15:

The pilot presumably flew it to Seoul to collect the 3100.000 ra- ward offered last April by Gen. Mark Clark for the first MiG flown to south Korea.

in Washington, the air force said the pilot will be paid the 5100.000. A spokesman for the

air force said a 550,000 offer for additional planes still stands but be emphasized that was "for the moment," indicating it might be withdrawn soon.

Russia In New Demand

For Ban On Theft.-BpognllLr

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y.. (CF)- Andrei Y. vishinsky demanded Monday the immediate and un- conditional prohibition of hydrogen and atomic bombs and all weapons of mass destruction.

In u resolution at the end of a speech to the United Nation Gen- eral Assembly. the soviet chief delegate proposed that the security council set up international co - trols to make certain countrl s comply with bans on such weap- om.

Vishlnaky also made a bid to admit neutrals to the Korean peace conference in line with demands by the Red Chinese. I-la attacked the United States for opposing Peiping's admission to the UN, urged a one-third cut in the armed forces of the big five powers. called for n. disarmament confer- ence, and demanded the elimina- tion of U. 8, military bases on for- eign soil.

Except that he added the word "hydrogen" to take account of nuaalab announceme at last month that she now has the H-bomb sec- ret, there was nothing new in

Viahlmky'a proposals. They all have been beaten by large major- ities in the past. Western delegates aald the same fate would await the latest Russian resolution.

UN delegates. noting the long of- ficial pruuouncaments from Russia in recent weeks on the hydrogen bomb, had been expecting some new turn from Viahinsky. But Western diplomats said he did not offer one constructive, way out of the East-West deadlocks in the UN.
