Cause is an area of excessively compressed air, built up by the airfoil's passage. Same phenomenon occurs at the tips of propellers. Only chance for speed greater than 575 m.p.h. is a mechanism for changing wing and propeller shape when the plane reaches Dr. Lewis' limit...

What happened in those 14 days kept Washington guessing last week. New Dealers, doubly sensitive in a campaign year to such catch phrases as "stage money," were incensed at General Hagood. Harry Hopkins was supposed to have protested violently to Secretary Dern that the Army should...
