From the missile-testing station at Cape Canaveral, Fla.. a modified Viking rocket soared up 125 miles one night last week, its bright exhaust glowing briefly like a wrong-way shooting star. Its flight was a partial test of the "vehicle" that will lift the U.S. artificial satellite in 1958, and the instruments that will steer it, into its orbit around the earth. When the satellite is established there, one of its most important jobs will be to keep track of the global movements of the white clouds far below. It will then be busy at the homely...
...Dual Exhaust. In Union City. N.J., pinched after he narrowly missed running down a cop, Motorist Chester J. Bronski pleaded not guilty of careless driving, alibied that the cigar he had smoked after slugging down four beers had made him dizzy, was fined $25 anyway for "driving while under the influence of a cigar...
...event, piggybacking is here to stay. And for all their arguments, truckers will have a tough time selling their worries to any U.S. motorist who has crawled painfully up a long grade behind a line of exhaust-spewing tractor-trailers. Atop the same mountain grades where the Southern Pacific has its piggyback signs, another series of signs has been put up by California citizens' committees. Their message: "Write your Congressman. Make U.S. 40 four lanes." Either that, or, as the Southern Pacific says, put the trucks on piggyback...
...Hueper of the National Cancer Institute told public-health engineers meeting in Atlantic City that the pattern of the increase in lung cancer coincides not with the pattern of increased smoking, but more closely with the use of cancer-causing substances in industry and their appearance in engine-exhaust fumes. Conceding that much of his evidence was circumstantial, Dr. Hueper concluded that "the great majority of lung cancer" is not caused by excessive cigarette smoking. He attributed to cigarette smoking (an "unhealthy habit") "a definite, while lesser, direct or indirect role in the production and rise in frequency of cancers...
...both outboard engines out of commission, Captain Ogg knew for certain now that he could not make the 1,000 miles to San Francisco-that he would have to ditch. Rather than dump gas and risk a night landing, he decided to wait till daylight and let the plane exhaust its heavy fuel load. He so notified the Coast Guard weather-watch cutter, Pontchartrain, some comfortable ten miles to the west. Pontchartrain's skipper, Commander William K. Earle, radioed the best course (330°) for ditching into the running swell, and the time of sunrise (7:22 a.m.). Captain...
