According to Francis Keppel '38, Dean of the School, the funds may go into the construction of a 85,000 cu. ft. skyscraper of the corner of Oxford and Kirkland Sts. The structure would absorb the entire School, which is now scattered all entire Cambridge in six run-down houses. Keppel stressed that the proposed building is only one alternative: "there isn't too much elbow room in that area of future expansion. We may have to something else...
...coated on the inside with a high gloss plastic which speeds up transmission of the gas by as much as 10%. To store gas, P.G. & E. is converting a depleted gas field east of San Francisco into an immense underground storage area. It will ultimately hold 84 billion cu. ft. of natural gas, enough to heat 16,800,000 homes for one winter month. Other projects: to expand the capacity of one conventional power plant by 330,000 kw. and to start enlarging three others...
...Bureau of Commercial Fisheries was planning a dirty scientific trick to play on schools of herring and menhaden off the Maine coast last week. At Boothbay Harbor, Me., the 139-ft. "pogy" (menhaden) boat Rappahannock is fitted with a 52-h.p. compressor that delivers 196 cu. ft. of air at the pressure of 80 lbs. per sq. in. The idea is to shoot the air through perforated tubes sunk in the water near schools of fish. Curtains of bubbles rising from the perforations look to the fish like an impassable barrier and shoo them toward the Rappahannock...
...first major sale of offshore leases since 1953, the decision will mean millions of dollars annually. For Louisiana, it means the possible loss of more than $300 million in past bonuses and royalties from the disputed lands, which last year yielded 29 million bbl. of oil and 174 billion cu. ft. of natural gas. The money is now held in escrow, and Louisiana will seek redress from Congress. It has a few arguing points: if its boundaries extend three miles from the coast, no one has decided where the jagged coastline begins, or who is to reap the revenues from...
...sedan, the new model is neat and nimble. It has the same 106.5-in. wheelbase and six-cylinder 101-h.p. canted engine as the Valiant sedan, will come in two-seat and three-seat (six-nine passengers) models. In both versions the seats will fold down to provide 72.3 cu. ft. of cargo space (v. 95.8 cu. ft. for the regular Plymouth wagon). Factory list price: $2,164, or $213 less than the cheapest Plymouth station wagon. Scheduling a minimum 30% of the Valiant production in wagons, Chrysler is drawing a compact bead on the station-wagon boom, which...
