...would be silly to exhaust yourself in the heats," said Australia's Merv Lincoln after he loafed through a fast 4:07.9 mile to qualify for the National A.A.U. championships at Bakersfield, Calif. Aussie Herb Elliott felt the same way. But Herb Elliott, who at 20 shows every sign of becoming the greatest miler ever, seems constitutionally incapable of not cracking some sort of record every time he puts on his spikes. He breezed through his heat in 4:01.4, a new meet mark...
...NOISE PROBLEM has been whipped, says Boeing. Three years and $5,000,000 spent on research produced a sound suppresser that Boeing claims will make its four-jet 707s quieter than big piston planes. The device, still secret, breaks up jet exhaust into many small streams, diffuses them to squelch noise...
...Indian Ocean, six days south of Suez, bound for Australia with 1,088 passengers-mostly German and Maltese emigrants-and a crew of 200. At 8:45 p.m. trouble broke out in the engine room. A disconnected fuel line spurted a torrent of oil ?. onto red-hot exhaust pipes. Within seconds, the engine room was a coiling mass of flames. The engine-room crew were driven out before they could even shut off the spurting...

The scientists made their elaborate observations-the purpose of the expedition-and everything seemed to be going line when Seismologist Geoffrey Pratt suddenly collapsed. His face was bright pink with carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust of the Sno-Cat that he had been driving. Fuchs radioed for help and Rear Admiral George J. Dufek, U.S. Antarctic leader at McMurdo Sound, sent two Navy Neptunes with oxygen and British Physiologist Griffiths Pugh, an expert on carbon monoxide poisoning. The weather made landing impossible, but the oxygen cylinders were...
