Indiana: Running for the seat of retiring William Jenner, Republican Governor Harold Handley, 48, onetime coal shoveler (at 25? an hour) and former (1953-56) lieutenant governor, is in the hot seat. Issues: unemployment (mostly around South Bend), high taxes (raised in 1957), highway scandals (during the administration of Handley's predecessor, George Craig), right-to-work (last fortnight Handley went all out for right-to-work).

There Democrat John Brademas, 31, a political-science teacher at St. Mary's College and a special protege of Democratic National Chairman Paul Butler, is trying for the third time to win the seat now held by Freshman Republican F.

...grown in sophistication over the years but is still far from perfect. Heavy seas, hammering the hull of a destroyer, can override the sonar-transmitted sounds of distant submarine screws or reduction gears. The sun heats the thin layer of air over smooth water, and this in turn can bend radar waves. Sometimes a thermal layer, 100 to 300 feet deep, distorts sound-and a knowledgeable sub skipper plays this layer like a shield. He can confound enemy sonar by hiding in the clacking wake of a destroyer, or by backing the submarine through his own wake to lose himself...
