Rivercraft and rescue squads quickly swept.the scene for survivors, picking up at least eight, along with five bodies. Divers spotted three more corpses in a car but were unable to recover any of the victims pinned in the submerged scrap heap. It will take weeks of work to cut them all free. Some cars were doubtless swept downstream, and police estimated that it would be a long time-if ever-until a full count could be made of the victims. Mean while, Ohio Governor James Rhodes and his West Virginia counterpart, Hulett Carlson Smith, were pressing for an investigation...
...pals raised quite a bit of hell, hanging around pool parlors (where Bob became a pretty good hustler), swiping things from the local stores. He straightened out soon enough, and for a while sold newspapers on a street corner. John D. Rockefeller used to come by in his chauffeured car every day to pick up his 20 paper. One rainy afternoon the old millionaire handed Bob a dime. Hope had no change, so he offered to trust Rockefeller for the money. "He wouldn't hear of it," recalls Bob, "and so I had to run about 50 yards through...
Sparked by increasing concern over air pollution caused by cars with conventional internal-combustion engines, proposals for electric cars have been regularly tumbling out of Government, industry and academic research proj ects. The latest came last week, when American Motors Corp. showed off its Amitron, a three-passenger, snub-snouted electric car, at a Detroit hotel...
With its advanced power system, declared American's chairman, Roy D. Chapin Jr., the machine "could eliminate many problems that up to this point have made electric-type cars impractical." The car is being developed with an ultimate capability of up to 50 m.p.h. for a range of 150 miles between battery charges. That would be a big step beyond existing designs for electrics, whose usefulness is severely restricted by an 80-mile maximum range on a single battery charge...
...piggyback system of two 25-lb. nickel-cadmium batteries and two 75-lb. lithium batteries being developed by Gulton Industries of Metuchen, NJ. The lithium batteries are for sustained speeds, can store 15 times as much energy per pound as lead-acid batteries now used in conventional cars. For quick acceleration-a safety factor lacking in present electric-car designs-the nickel-cadmium batteries would cut in briefly, could zap the car from a standstill to 50 m.p.h. in 20 seconds. And for longer battery life between charges, the Amitron would have a "regenerative braking system" to generate battery-charging...
