MORE ABOUT ... Columbia Slaying (Continued from Page 3) "I went up to Bangor (Me.) and bought the gun (a Stern-Luger long-range, high velocity weapon) and 100 cartridges. "Last Sunday morning, I wrapped the gun in some red paper, put it into a paper box with eight cartridges in the gun, and then put the box in a brown vallse. I wrapped 10 extra cartridges in a handkerchief and put them in my pocket. "I also put a hunting knife I'd purchased in a Back Bay 5-and-10 into the bag. I was going to use the knife if I wasn't successful with the gun." When he approached Miss Fahey, Peakes was quoted as saying, he asked her "are they going to drop the electronics theory?" "She didn't pay any attention to me, just kept reading a letter or something on her desk," Wilson said Peakes told police. "I pulled the gun out of my pocket and started shooting. The first two or three bullets hit her in the chest. She got up and screamed 'it hurts.' I kept pulling the trigger. The next four bullets hit her in the head and she fell to the floor." With a description of the killer but no motive apparent, police sifted various theories. One was that the killer was a frustrated student. Searching the files of the society they came across Peakes' name. Checking Boston addresses, two New York detectives went from WATCHING OVER HIS PEOPLE—Brother Dennis of the Catholic Foreign Mission Society uses binoculars as he serves as aircraft spotter from 100-foot bell tower of the Maryknoll Seminary, Ossining, N.Y. The tower is used in 'round-the-clock vigil by the Brothers who join volunteers across the nation in setting up lookout posts for hostile aircraft. Pilot Who Set New World Speed Mark of 1238 MPH Tells Sensation By BILL BECKER LOS ANGELES (AP) — The hot-test pilot said, the needle nosed 40-foot ship ramme Pilot Who Set New World Speed Mark of 1238 MPH Tells Sensation By BILL BECKER LOS ANGELES (AP) — The hottest plane in the free world, the D-558-2 Skyrocket, holds a new speed record of 1238 miles an hour, says the Navy. And the hottest test pilot, Landy Bill Bridgeman, says zooming at that speed is "no different than flying 750 miles per hour." The real kick comes, Bridgeman said in an exclusive interview last night, when the rocket-propelled hummingbird runs out of power at a record altitude of 79,494 feet and swoops down 15 miles for a dead-stick landing on the desert. Both the speed and altitude marks were confirmed here by Secretary of the Navy Dan A. Kimball. Bridgeman flew the Douglas-built rocket ship to unprecedented heights last Aug. 7 and set the speed record Aug. 15 in tests at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The Navy previously had admitted only that the research plane had "climbed at 1000 miles an hour." IN ALL, BRIDGEMAN made six rocket flights last summer after the Skyrocket was launched at 35,000 feet from a B-29 mother ship. Each time, the 35-year-old Doug-las test pilot said, the needle nosed 40-foot ship rammed smoothly through the sonic barrier—which is reached at about 660 miles an hour at 35,000 feet and above. In pressurized suit and cockpit, Bridgeman says he was "not especially conscious of speed." "You notice the high speed only when you make a mistake," the ex-Navy bomber pilot said. "Then she really jumps and gets hard to control. Generally, though there's too much blue sky and so many things to do that the speed isn't noticeable." The record speed was made in level flight after the Skyrocket had reached the apex of her climb. It was measured by instruments in the plane and radar ground readings carefully checked by the Navy Bureau of Aero-nautics. The moment that sends "you guts into your shoes," Bridgeman declares, comes when the last of the four rockets used by the plane loses its thrust. "Then you have to bend over, fast, level off and start gliding for home." "Home" is Muroc Dry Lake, a shiny eight-mile expanse of "real friendly desert that you can't miss." It isn't exactly a slow glide, either. Bridgeman lands without power at 160 miles per hour. (The average jet plane lands at 110 M.P.H.) The entire flight, from the moment of release from the bottom of the B-29 to the landing, takes only 11 to 16 minutes. "The SONIC BARRIER isn't a problem any longer," the acce-tester said. "Theoretically, man might some day fly 10,000 miles."

"Theoretically, man might some day fly 10,000 miles an hour if he can lick the aerodynamic barrier. Heat is the problem now, and the question is can we go higher and faster without having to use an impossibly bulky cooling system." Bridgeman said he did not have special refrigeration equipment on his record flights. "The plane is soaked in cold at 65 degrees below zero (F) while the B-29 cruises at 35,000 feet," he explained. "So far that has been all the conditioning I've needed." Another problem is how much fuel can be carried. The Skyrocket, Bridgeman says, burns a ton of liquid oxygen per minute. The pilot, six seconds after release from the B-29, turns on the first of his rocket tubes. He ignites the others in succession one second apart. The Skyrocket, in normal use, is powered by both jet and rocket engines. For these tests, however, the jet engine was removed and replaced with tanks doubling the fuel capacity for the rockets. The official records Bridgeman cracked: Speed—670.981 miles an hour, set in 1948; by a North American F-86. Altitude—72.394 feet, in 1935 by U.S. Army Capts.

(AP)—Premier Mohammed Mossadegh, emotion chief of Iran nationalism, resigned unexpectedly after a dispute with Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi and parliament today met to choose a successor. The resignation, which plunged near bankrupt Iran into a new ministerial crisis, was announced at a closed session of parliament this morning by Hussein Ala, the minister of court, representing the Shah. One deputy said the message from the palace disclosed that the 72-year-old premier quit last night after the Shah refused to agree to let him become minister of war as well as premier in the new government. The dispute apparently occurred during a conference between Mossadegh and the monarch yesterday. Mossadegh sent his letter of resignation last night, apparently without informing some of his closest supporters. Several deputies arriving for the meeting of the majils (lower house) expressed surprise when informed of the resignation. Squads of police and soldiers patrolled the parliament area as well as strategic spots throughout the city, but there were no reports of any disorders. CLEVELAND.
