...University's quota is 200 pints, and officials of the blood committee hope to go over the top with enough to make up for a 14-pint deflect in the fall campaign. The blood will be made into plasma and distributed to local hospitals...
...save money would send the food budget crashing down about the Council's ears. The treasurer's report for 1946-47, contains the statements that the dining halls cleared $41,000 during the year. According to all available information, the present situation is much the same-an operating deflect over the summer and an upsurge during the rest of the year to finish well in the black...
Instead of vanes to deflect the jet, the Neptune will have the whole "thrust unit" (combustion chamber and discharge tube) mounted so that it can be moved slightly. Gyroscopic stabilizing instruments in the nose will play the jet from side to side like water from a hose, overcoming the rocket's tendency to wobble on the takeoff...
...reprieve last week. The Communists' best opportunity to kill the new Cabinet seemed to be the scheduled dissolution of the Italian Constituent Assembly this month, which would have been followed by general elections in the fall.

This gave De Gasperi a vital chance to show Italians that he could run and rebuild their country without benefit of Communist...
Rocketing Along. While the rocket is still moving slowly, its vertical flight is controlled by vanes of graphite which deflect the blast of gas. Later, as it gains speed, these are supplemented by four sets of vanes on the fins. These obey orders from gyroscope devices. They are pre-set on the ground; after the rocket has taken off, it cannot be deflected to a new course, or its aim corrected. All its nursemaids can do is cut off the power by radio. Last week they let it blast away for 59.4 seconds. Super-Vergeltungswaflen of the future, Army experts...
