only to have it rejected by Nasser
when it was carried to Cairo by
Australian Prime Minister Robert
G. Menzies.
The diplomatic informants made
clear Uasser’s refusal to let the
test convoy pass through the canal,
which he nationalized July 26,
could be followed by prompt ref
erence of the dispute to the U. N.
Security Council. He has already
denounced the plan for a users’
association as a “declaration of
war.”
In the Security Council, despite
Russia’s right of veto, the West
might hope to build up moral sup
port for a charge that Nasser had
breached the 1888 Suez Convention
pledging freedom of passage to all
nations at all times.
Such suDDort, the diplomats felfc-
would be the basis for what might
develop into a long-drawn economic
bout.
Intense diplomatic maneuvering
went on' behind the scenes.
The U. N. Security Council in
New York received from Egypt a
communication asking it to keep
a vigilant eye on the Suez situa
tion and demanding an end to
what Egyptians called pressure
from Britain and France. The
Egyptians said these measures
were a threat to peace.

Test Lab “Upstairs”
Even in aviation’s earliest years, it was axiomatic that “proof
must come in the air”. Out of this, the flying test bed was born
... and slowly grew to its present-day stature as an indispen
sable engineering tool, implemented by an extensive variety
of engineering skills.
The problems of observing and recording an engine’s per
formance in the air are legion. Most recently, a Boeing B-50
and a North American B-45 were readied as test beds for
Pratt & Whitney Aircraft’s J-57 and J-75 turbojets. The
experimental power plant, contained in a retractable pod in
the bomb bay, can be flown to locations where atmospheric
conditions permit most efficient testing. The prototype Is
then extended into the air stream for actual flight work with
the regular engines idled, and the job of observing and
recording in-flight performance begins.
From the first shakedown flight to the test engine’s even
tual acceptance, invaluable information is gathered. Perhaps
the most vital contribution made by P & W A’s flying test-bed
program is the great reduction in time between initial devel
opment and quantity production of engines. Important, too, 1
is the quality and diversity of engineering talent involved in
such a program, for it spells out remarkable opportunity for
today’s engineering student v

After exhaustive testing in the highly advanced
facilities of Willgoqs Laboratory, the mighty
P & W A J-75 is run in ground test prior to test
bed flight. The four-engined B-45 bomber
(above) allowed test flight at high speeds
.and altitudes early in the J-75’s development.

Henry D. Smith
Is New Fireman
Training Chief
Henry D. Smith has been
appointed to serve as chief of
the firemen training depart
ment of the Engineering Ex
tension Service, for the Sys
tem, effective Sept. 1. Smith re
places H. R. Brayton, who current
ly is conducting research studies
for the Office of Civil Defense and
Disaster Relief.
For the past six years Smith
has been employed with the fire
men training department as an in
structor. Prior to that he was
chief of the Harlingen fire depart
ment. Smith has served as acting
chief of the department since Oct.
1, 1955.
Smith reportedly, intends to con
tinue to develop all the present
municipal firemen training services
of the department, in addition to
expanding the program to include
training for industrial firefighters.
In addition to maintaining an
“on-the-job” training program for
municipal firemen throughout the
state, the five-man instructor staff
directs the following services: An
annual two-week firemen training
school held on the A&M campus,
attracting about 1200 firemen from
this state and the nation each
year; a rescue training school de
signed to train instructors from
various cities in the organization
of rescue teams to aid victims of
natural disasters or enemy attack
(nine of these schools have been
held since their beginning in 1955,
and about eight are scheduled to be
held on the campus this year);
the latest techniques of fire con
trol and fire prevention are taught
at area fire instructors conferences
held annually at Abilene, Austin,
Lubbock and Weslaco.
The five-man instructor staff in
cludes James A. Dobson, L. O.
Bynum, A. L. Cartwright, A. J.
Fogaley and James A. Bland.
Clyde Beatty Circus
Sets Tents In Bryan
Bolstered by the addition of
several members of the now-de
funct Ringling Brothers, Barnum
and Baily Circus, Clyde Beatty will
bring his three-ring circus to the
Bryan Fair Grounds for two per
formances today.
Billed as the “Largest Traveling
Tent Show in the United States”,
the Beatty organization will pre
sent more than 150 performers for
the two shows, one at 3 p. m. and
one at 8 p. m.
School children at A&M Con
solidated Schools will be dismissed
at 2:15 p. m. in order that they
may attend the show, which is
sponsored by the Brazos Valley
Shrine Club.
Featured attraction of the pi’o-
duction, will be the famous animal
trainer Clyde Beatty. He appears in
a cage with 40 lions and tigers dur
ing th coui’se of his act. Beatty has
starred in the circus for many
years, and has acted in more than
30 motion pictures, including “Ring
of Fear” and “Africa Screams”.
Other performers include the
Loyal-Repenski family of riders
with the comedian Justina, the
Sabre Jet Troupe of aerialists and
the Flying Thrillers.
Clowns in the organization are
headed by Bozo Ward, Chick Yale
and Joe Miaco. Additional aerialists
are the El Ray Sisters, the Segura
family of equilibrists and Jean
Attilana.
A spectacle billed as “gloriously
enchanting and stupendous” and “a
gorgeous fiesta” will pi-ecede the
performances. Included in it will
be dancing girls, singers, orchestras
and “grand golden-toned organs”.
