Relations between Los Angeles and Las Vegas are still recovering from a flap over a speech by Las Vegas Civil Defense Leader J. Carlton Adair, who proposed a 5,000-man militia against the possibility of wartime refugees from California pouring into Nevada "like a swarm of locusts." And Civil Defense Coordinator Keith Dwyer of California's Riverside County (pop. 306,191) last week told a group of officials and reserve policemen in the town of Beaumont that as many as 150,000 refugees from Los Angeles might stream into Beaumont if there were an enemy attack, and that...
...Starting Flap. Johnson's new start has worked so well (last month he ran a wind-aided 9.2; fortnight ago, at Fresno's West Coast Relays, he won in 9.4 despite a strained groin muscle) that rival coaches are screaming foul. Occidental College's Chuck Coker argues that Johnson is using an illegal "rolling start"; that he is in motion before the starter's gun. The University of Illinois' Leo Johnson has threatened to force changes in N.C.A.A. track rules to ban his namesake's "questionable" technique. But most track officials agree with Coach...
Carnival's whole atmosphere comes charmingly to life at the very outset when, at dusk, first one trouper and then another straggles onstage. As the stage fills with proprietors and performers and roustabouts, as tents go up and booths slide into place and flags flap and sway, the bright lights come on, the lilting music soars, and the multicolored mongrel troupe parades. Then Marco the Magnificent appears, and the gal he forever two-times; then Paul, the lamed, embittered puppeteer, and the pal he forever snaps at. Soon, a wispy, skinny-limbed, wide-eyed Lili (Anna Maria Alberghetti) turns...
...Tempest with a four-speed gearbox and wire wheels. Ford introduced its new Futura (TIME, March 24) and Comet S-22. Chrysler showed off its experimental Turboflite; it has a rakish body by Ghia, a gas turbine engine only half as heavy as a regular V8, and an aft flap that acts as an air brake...
...finished a respectable second to Hungary's lean Istvan Rozsavolgyi, 31, but turned the distance in 4:09.4 to set an indoor mark for schoolboys. "Phenomenal is not the right word for Kidd," says Manhattan College's Coach George Eastment. "He's better than that." Relaxing Flap. Kidd has such natural talent that he can scorn the accepted theories of track. He runs so far forward on his feet that he seems to be tottering along on tiptoe. Instead of pumping his arms gracefully to help his balance and stride, Kidd often lets his hands trail...
