WASHINGTON, This general view of the House of’Representa- tives shows the “standing room

By FORBES RHUDI Canadian Press Business Editor

Jet airliners will cost more than today’s piston - engine craft, but they should remain in opera- tion longer, says C. R. Smith, president of American Airlines Inc.‘

Addressing a recent transpor- tation forum for insurance com- pany executives in New York, he sa-id: *

“Jet transports now on order will have speeds just a little be- low the speed of sound. DIFFICULT PROJECT

“It is possible to produce an airliner which will exceed the speed of sound. But at present it would be difficult to design an airplane of that type to opemte with economy—its carrying ca- pacity would be limited and fuel cost would be prohibitive.

“Accordingly, it is reasonable to conclude that we will not soon have super-sonic transports in airline service.

“Instead, you should be ableto forecast a period of years during which there will be relative pla- teau on airline speeds.

“Both the airlines and the in- vestor shoul; be able to plan that -the jet airplanes soon to come will have an operating life of not less than 10 years." ‘

If the jet airliner were assigned to the type of work for which it is best fitted —— long-distance runs --it should have operating» costs comparing favorably with piston- engined transports. .

HIGHER :.‘.'VESTM"NT

Capital linvestment would be higher, but there would be a longer time for amortization. Cost per flight would be higher, but greater carrying capacity —- in many cases double that of pres- ent aircraft —- would involve a greater number of passengers over which the cost could be spread. Greater speed would per- mit the jet to make more trips per day and more miles per month. -

The size of the over-all market, -however, must be increased, and the airline which expected eco- nomic success must be equipped to merchandize its product in the most effective fashion.

Mr. Smith predicted that with increased comfort and speed, -there would be a new rate of with more people travelling, and

growth for air transportation, the same people travelling‘more

EDITOR’S NOTE: What is the temper of the American people, faced with Russia’s sputniks and a downturn in the country’s economy? AP staffers conducted a man-in-the-street survey across the U.S. and -found some surprising answers.

NEW YORK (AP)‘—Despi«-te the smashing success of Russia’s Sputniks and the shattering fail- ure of their own Vanguard mis- sile, the American, people face 1958 more worried about c-old cash than the cold war.

The sense that the bloom is offi the boom and it is time to build up savings accounts rather than charge accounts.

They clamor for a change inl foreign policy but don’t quite’ know whether they should .sit, down and talk with the Russians or roll up their sleeves and get tough with them.

A mood’ of optimism, heavily mixed with domestic financial caution, was foun in a nation- wide survey of pubic opinion con- ducted by staffs of more than 70 Associated Press bureaus from Augusta, Maine, to San Diego, Calif.

Random opinions freely flowed from people in all walks of life: from grocers and carpenters and brokers, from housewives and school teachers and truck driv- ers. Politicians and economists were excluded. The accent was on man-in-the-street opinion, rat- her than professional advice.

No FEAR

The_ survey showed that despite Sputn1k—-or perhaps because of it -there is no universal fear.

“We’ll catch up, we always have.” insisted Mrs. Anna Smith A-ckerman, a civil service em- ployee in Columbia, S.C. “I’m not afraid of the future.”

She was in the majority. Only 36 per cent of those interviewed had more fear now than a year ago because of the U.S. lagtin the missiles race. Those with less fears addffd. UP to 49.per cent. The remaining 15 per cen_t said their fears had neither increased nor decreased.

In the field of economics, the mood seems more anxious. While the number who feel less secure in their jobs is a relatively small

for credit buying more carefully run to 58 per cent, or almost six out of every 10.

Among the optimistic majority who had no worries for the future, there was a recurring hope that Russia's Sputnik gain may um. mately be her loss, that the United States has been shocked into awareness, has realized its temporary shortcomings and now is rushing to the fore at full steam.

CALLED PROPAGANDA

Some dismissed the whole Sput- nik furore as propaganda and blamed the newspapers and ra- dio and television stations ficl try- ing to instill fear in-to people.

Many of those who feared for the l'utu1‘e saw Sputnik as herald- ing a U.S. decline or relegating

Ihe US. to the position of a sec-

ond class power.

From, PcInic ‘

The survey revealed small but significant differences ir attitude in different parts of the country.

In general, the midwest had ‘more fears for the future than any other part of the country, with 42 per cent answering they were more afraid, against a na- tional average of 36 per cent.

Intthe northeast 60 per cent wanted a change in foreign pol- icy against a national average of 55 per cent.

In the west, 52 per cent either were satisfied or unable to sug- gest any changes.

The question of whether foreign

policy should be changed pro. duced the widest differences ol opinion, the deepest thinking and in some cases the wildest flight; of fancy.

Viewpoints ranged «all the way from immediate recognition of Red China to “drofiping five or s-ix hydrogen bombs on Russian soil to sober them,”, as a Cin- cinnati printer suggested.

SLAP THE REDS

- Many a gr eed with Shorty Roach, an Indianapol-is welder, that “we'd better stop worrying so much about starting a war and just slap the Reds down the next time they give us trouble."

Others though} the U.S. ought to treat its allies differently, par- ticularly in regard to foreign aid.

But nearly one out of every two who favore changes in for- eign policy balked at sending money or making loans to allies and neutrals.

In general, those who favored curtailing foreign aid also fa- vored a get tough policy with Russia. >

Some would change foreign pol- icy by first changing the secre- tary of state.

Others felt that State Secretary Dulles is doing a good job and so is President Eisenhower.

Many freely professed ignor- ance of foreign policy and asked that the people be kept better in- formed on world relationships. Many others said they never were able to determine exactly what foreign policy is being pur-

sued.

It Is No Longer Easy To Cross From East Germany

EDITOR’S NOTE: Ten years ago a German AP staffer sneaked across the border into Communist East Germany. The other day he made a trip along the same Iron Curtain border. What did he find? Here are his impressions of a decade of change. ’

By HELMUT von BRAUCHITSCH

BONN, Germany (AP)——It was late afternoon when‘I jumped over the small creek that marked the border between the British and Soviet zones of occupation in Germany.

I had reckoned this a good time to cross into the east zone. It was about dinner time for the Soviet army soldiers who pa- trolled the fields and woods on the east side of the border.

But the Russians in this area apparently had a late dinner. I had been under observation by a Soviet guard.

Shouting “stoj’ (stop) and pointing his machine-gun at me, he stepped out from behind Q bush. He searched me thoroughly and transferred my cigarets, matches, a. pocket knife and comb -to his own pockets and then forced me tg return west over the same route I had taken.

My second attempt was more successful. Afiter walking about 3 "1119 310115; the Western side of Ithehdemarcation line, I crossed again Into the east,

This time I reached a railway station about eight miles from the\ border and made my way through the Soviet zone into the freedom of West Berlin without mishap.

10 YEARS AGO

All this happened 10 years ago. It was then—sh-ortly after the war—noI an unusual way for German citizens to travel be- tween the two parts of Germany. Thousands of Germans crossed the “green border” every day in both directions. with more or 1,355 luck. wToday such adventures belong

the past. The former demar. cation line has become a closely and effectively guarded harrier—— the Inn) Curtain.

Illegal crossings of the 850—mi1g frontier East Germany have

down to fewer than a dozen: week.

A regularly plowed strip of ground about 10 yards wide today marks the - boundary between West Germany and what Ill? Communists call the German Democratic Republic.

To -step onto this strip-—-often called Pieck Alley after Easl German President Wilhelm P1803 —most likely means death at {-119 hands of East German machml gunners. Additionally, for al30_“l one-third of its length, the 50V_‘°l zone border is barricaded Wllh barbed wire. ,

Behind the plowed death Sm? comes a 300-yard-wide’ “barred area” where border troops Wllh trained dogs patrol day and night.

MANY METHODS

There are more than 40“ wooden watchtowers, hundreds Oi ground shelters and intricate 5Y5‘ tems of trip wires connected various alarm devices in “"5 area.

On the Western side the fron- tier is marked only by a 50“ °f traffic sign saying “zonengrefll (zonal border). Regular custom! men keep an eye out for smug‘ glers. So far as the West G91" mans ‘are concerned, any East German may cross if he is 110” smuggler or agent.

The strength of the east Z0119 border guard is estimated nearly 50,000 men. The guards are garrisoned and can be re’ garded as part “of East Ger- many's Peoples Army.

Their counterpart on the W659 ern side is the West Gérmaf frontier police comprising nearly 15,000 men. _

The only open surface tram‘ connections between West 3 East Germany today are four roads, seven railroads and WC waterways. Interrupted at lb‘ border are 157 highways and. country roads and 27 railroac lines.

Millions of Germans have been legally channeled every Y?” «through the few official crossing points in both directions.
