Died. Victor Emanuel, 62, a flamboyant operator from Dayton (AVCO, Republic Steel Corp.) and Government adviser (Aircraft Production Council, advisory committee of U.S. Senate Banking and Currency Committee), who liked to put knowledgeable Washingtonians, e.g., Presidential Crony George Allen, on his boards of directors; of a heart attack; in Ithaca, N.Y. The Depression wiped out a billion dollar utility empire, but Financier Emanuel bounced back as high as ever...
When space knowhow increases, says Dr. Carl E. Snyder of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., spacecraft may be built largely of plastics, which will fare better than metals in the hostile outer world. Snyder and W. B. Cross of Goodyear Aircraft Corp. told an Air Force space conference in Dayton that many metals "boil away" slowly in the near-perfect vacuum of space. Plastics, which are made of long molecular chains linked and tangled together, are less volatile than metals, and therefore should last longer...

Scripps-Howard polls gave Nixon only 46% of the straws in Cincinnati-which went 62½% for Ike in 1956. The G.O.P. counts on carrying the farm counties, along with Dayton and Columbus.

Nearly everywhere churning, cheering crowds smashed to the depots to roar their encouragement as he countered the Kennedy campaign theme ("All of this...
...Dayton's Air Force Museum, the nation's first military pilot, retired Major General Benjamin D. Foulois, 80, took a nostalgic look at the 1909 Wright Flyer, then climbed aboard the open-air, pusher-propellered crate. With him was an old colleague, retired Lieut. General Yoshitoshi Tokugawa, 83, who in 1910 made the first powered-aircraft flight in Japan, where he is renowned as "the grandfather of flight." "This is my ship," said Benny Foulois proudly, perhaps recalling a memorable day-March 2, 1910-when, as an Army lieutenant, he made his first take off, first solo, first...
