FIRST ALL-MAGNESIUM PLANE

FLOWN IN AMERICA

Washington, Aug. 15.

A new chapter in world aviation history was written recently when the first all-magnesium aircraft took to the air on its initial test flight in the United States.

Captain Richard O. Ransbottom, who was at the controls of the F-80C Shooting Star jet plane during a 10-minute flight from the Mitchell Air Force Base on Long Island, New York, said the plane's performance was excellent. The plane is now undergoing extended flight testing in order! to qualify for acceptance by the US Air Force.

Search For Sunken

Ships In Bay Of Naples

Rome, Aug. 14.

A distinguished Italian archaeologist and a champion underwater sportsman plan to make what they claim will be the world's first organised undersea archaeological explorations late this

summer.

They are Professor Amedeo Maturi, who superintended the systematic .excavations at Pompeii and is considered the world's greatest authority on the archaeologically fabulous areas round the Bay of Naples, and Signor Raimonde Bucher, a specialist in underwater photography, fishing and exploring.
