Air Force Flying Van
Features Detachable Pod
For Conversion To Road
WASHINGTON, (JP) — The Air
Force has shown off its new fly
ing van as a versatile plane cap
able of carrying big cargo loads
and paratroopers and of landing
on short fields.
The new transport—the C-119F
—was demonstrated Friday by the
Fairchild Aircraft Division.
The firm also demonstrated a
detachable cargo pod which can
be unhooked from its airplane and
hauled down a highway like a
truck trailer. This is an improve
ment on the XC-120 pack planes,
w'hose' present packs cannot be
used on highways.
The flying van was designed
to move more than 10 tons of
cargo and with greater range
than aerial boxcars now in use.
The demonstration plane took
off and landed in less then 11,000
feet. With one engine off, it man
euvered, turned and banked eas
ily on its single remaining en
gine. It flew at 260 miles an hour
and then came back at 71 miles
an hour, a safe speed for the
discharge of paratroopers.

GONE WITH THE WIND
ATLANTA, (/P)—Only a few of
the many thousands of pages that
made up the manuscript for the
record - breaking novel “Gone
With the Wind” remain in exis
tence. Stephens Mitchell, brother
of the author, Margaret Mitchell,
disclosed recently 'that after Miss
Mitchell’s death her husband,
John R. Marsh, burned most of
the manuscript in accordance
with her wishes.
The few remaining pages were
stored in a vault to bfe used in
the event of any legal questions
arising as to the authenticity of
authorship. The original manu
script had been sought by many
librarians but Miss Mitchell did
n’t want to leave any personal
belongings in existence after her
death.
Mitchell said this feeling of his
sister’s about personal possessions
even applied to the family home
on Peachtree Street, now occu
pied by himself. She had reques
ted that it never pass out side the
family so after Mitchell moves in
the near future it is to be torn
down. Marsh’s death this year
left Stephens Mitchell as his sis
ters heir.

Alaska Pup Is King
Of Queens in Miss
Universe Pageant
LONG BEACH, Calif., (/P) —
There are 68 beauty queens in the
Miss Universe pageant here—but
there is no question about who
is the king.
More than 225,000 persons have
hilariously and applaudingly paid
homage to “His Majesty Muk
Tuk,” two-months-old Alaskan
husky puppy belonging to Miss
Shirley Burnett, 19, of Fairbanks,
Alaska entry in the contest.
Shirley originally intended to
present the puppy — his name
blubber — to Mayor Burton W.
Chace of Long Beacl\ but “just
couldn’t do it. We’ve grown too
fond of each other,” Miss Burnett
said.
Instead of Muk - Tuk, Mayor
Chace received a gold nugget key
from Miss Burnett.
Shirley said she found the Long
Beach weather “delightful,” but
was surprised to find it colder in
“sunny” California than in her
native Fairbanks, in the “frozen
north.”
It was 80 degrees when she
left Fairbanks and the mercury
has not topped 75 in Long Beach
since she has been here.
Incidentally, Far North met
Deep South when Shirley’s hous
ing arrangements were announ
ced. She is sharing a hotel room
with Miss South Carolina, Margie.
Allen, 18, of Spartanburg.
