Neville Duke, Captures Air Huge Holiday Thousands

PERFORMANCE

Tangmere, Sept. 7..

Squadron-Leader Neville, Duke, Britain's ace

test pilot, today reached an average speed of 727.6 miles an hour in his flame coloured Hawker Hunter jet fighter to capture the world's air speed record from the United States,

The Royal Acro Club, official body responsible for timing the tests, said Duke's average speed

was 1,171 kilometres an hour over the three kilo- metre closed circuit course off the south coast.

Duke's highest speed today was 738.8 milés

an hour.

The figures are subject to confirmation.. Squadron-Leader Duke made four runs over the course between Littlehampton, Sussex, and Kingston Gorse.

His speeds for the four flights were: 1,153.4 kilometres an hour kilometres an hour (716.7 miles per hour); 1,189 (738.8 miles per hour; 1,153.1 kilometres an hour (716.5 miles an hour); 1,188.7 kilometres an hour (738.8 miles per hour).

The Royal Acro Club said if In becoming the fastest man the attempt was confirmed by in the air today, Duko became the Federation Aeronautique the first Briton to hold a world Internationale, it would "estab-air speed record for seven years.

do not simply propose meeting in the void with out any previous agreement IN to how and where to start discussions. For no useful purpose would be served if the four Ministers were to mect only to dis- agros at the start on what they were going to talk about; or if it were clear from the beginning that diametrically and irrecon- cilably opposed that there could be no hope of any agreement. That sort of meeting could only result in manking matters even worse. On the other hand the note does not lay down any hard and fast agenda to which the Russians are expected necessarity to conform. The only condition advanced- and it is a logical one is that the talks in the rat place deal with the questions of Germany and Austria. The stress is businesslike upproach, alming at concrete results, and avoid- ing as far as possible vague and sterile Controversy. With the same purpose the three powers suggest that in dealing with Germany the ministers should concentrate in the Grat instance on the question of free elections and the status
