Developed by Castagna Electronics of Brooklyn, N.Y., the squawk box will sell for about $100. A. Frederick Greenberg, president of Castagna, is counting on fervid competition among the tobacco companies to equip as many cigarette machines as possible with ACMRUs that will broadcast messages. After all, vending machines dispense an average of 22 competing brands. Greenberg says that ACMRU is aimed at the 250,000 vending machines in "prime high-traffic areas"-mostly offices, factories and bars. The messages could be audible at up to 20 ft. but Greenberg does not think that they will be annoying. "Well," he says...
Under their proposal, which they stress is open to negotiation, the town would advance a medical student $2,000 a year at 3% interest for four years, provide and equip an office and guarantee a reasonable income once a practice is established. In turn, the student would repay the loan within three years of completing internship and military service, and would pledge to serve in the town as a general practitioner for at least a year.

The Asheville-class craft being tested have only 3-in. guns, which can scarcely harass the Soviet ships, and they ride so poorly that the U.S. crewmen have to strap themselves to their stations with safety belts. Still, the Navy hopes eventually to equip them with surface missiles that could pose a serious threat to the Soviet trailers...
Equally attentive was the U.S. Treasury Department, which last week recommended that manufacturers equip the belts with dummy bullets, assured to be inoperable, instead of with whole cartridges (theoretically convertible into live ammunition without benefit of license). Otherwise, the latest accessory of the Decadent Chic might just manage to circumvent its wearers by landing them not on the Ten Best Dressed list, but on the Ten Most Wanted...
...musician−he plans to hire a music director−but his own theatrical credentials are highly in order. In younger days, he directed some 30 plays for Stockholm's Royal Dramatic Theater, and at the Royal Opera he has mounted 28 operas. That background ought to equip him for the badly needed revitalizing of stagecraft at the Met. "Opera is a popular art, and it should be as exciting as a bullfight," he says. Gentele has also directed eight creditable films (no international hits)! That fits in with Met President George S. Moore's desire...
