Gas turbines which are involved in jet engines played an impor
tant part in the war. but larger peacetime fields are predicted for
them by Westinghouse engineers who developed jet power for
wartime. Above is a baby jet which powered radio controlled
planes for wartime target practice, but which is also adaptable
for aircraft cabin superchargers, de-icers or. fitted with a pro
pellor. it can power flivver planes. (Small plane speeds are too low
for efficient use of jet power). Another adaption of a turbine for
use with a propellor is shown below. The cutaway drawing shows
the compact gear box behind the propellor to reduce the enormous
speed developed by the turbine. In-line design originated by West
inghouse offers compact size in relation to the power produced.

NEW GUINEA—Capt. and Mrs.
Truman Hemingway are expect
ing their second child at an Army
base hospital here—with no Jap
anese around.
They will remember the birth, I
Dec. 5, 1943, of their first baby,
Sheila Barbara, on the bamboo
floor of a hut during a raging
Philippine typhoon when Capt. ;
Hemingway was a guerrilla leader.
Sent to Mindanao from Bataan,
shortly before the American sur
render, the captain spent two and
one half years leading natives
against the Japanese. He and two
companions, 1st Lt. Gordon R.
Smith and 2nd Lt. Joseph F. St.
John, were commissioned in the
Guerrilla forces a recognized
, branch of the U. S. Army. He and
his men were able to furnish val
uable information for General
MacArthur.
Sept. 6, 1942, in the midst of the
campaign Capt. Hemingway mar
ried to former Katherine Barbara
Krebs, daughter of Carl D. Krebs,
captain of a salvage ship, and Mrs.
Kregs, a Filipino woman. An el
derly priest performed the cere
mony with two soldiers as wit
| nesses.
, Capt. Hemingway explains his
wife could have been fairly safe
had she stayed with relatives, but
preferred to follow him into the
thick of the fighting.
They plan a belated honeymoon
in the United States after the sec
ond child was born. After that, the
Army must decide what they will
do.
On reaching New Guinea the
Captain, Lt. Smith and Lt. St.
John left Mrs. Hemingway at the
hospital and headed for the Army
supply room where they received
their first new issue of Army
clothing since war with Japan
started.
Capt. Hemingway is the son of
an Episcopal minister in Vermont,
Lt. Smith is from Colorado and
Lt. St. John from Philadelphia.
Sura, near the Persian Gulf, is
considered to have the longest
continuous existence of any city j
in history—from 4000 BC to 650
AD.
Call Of The Wild
Too Wild For Last Man
HOQUIAM, Wash.—<&)—Sixty
nine-year-old Elliott Anderson,
last living member of the Ozette
tribe, has been disclosed as the
sole owner of an Indian reserva
tion at the tip of Washington’s
Olympic peninsula.
Anderson came into possession
of the reservation, a mile square
of timbered land near Neah Bay,
back in 1936 when the only other
survivor of the Ozettes, Charles
Weberland, died.
It’s too lonely for Anderson on
his reservation so he lives with,
members of the Makah tribe, also
near Neah Bay.
