But Johnson sees federal regulation as the most effective immediate antidote for pollution. His bill would compel fuel producers to register all additives such as tetraethyllead- used to boost gasoline octane count- with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare so that their potentially noxious effects could be studied.

...earth's atmosphere, have led to the production of Pyroceram dishes that can go from the housewife's freezer to oven without cracking. The increasing complexity of astronavigation has fostered the development of swifter and smaller computers that find no end of applications on earth. The fuel cell used to supply electric power for Gemini spacecraft is being developed for commercial use, and its production of electricity from oxygen and hydrogen without burning hydrocarbons may be one answer to the smog problem that is increasing all over the world.

...without birth pains." The spacecraft gave repeated trouble. The nozzle of its big engine shattered during one test. The heat shield of the command module split wide open and the ship sank like a stone when it was dropped at high speed into a water tank. Certain kinds of fuel caused ruptures in attitude-control fuel tanks. The cooling system failed, causing a two-month delay for redesign. But all the bugs were eventually ironed out, as far as the experts knew, after arduous testing under every conceivable circumstance. Last week's test was billed as the ship...

...plant will produce 600,000 cars a year, and quadruple Russia's auto production. Italy's giant, government-owned petrochemical complex, E.N.I., is negotiating with the Russians to build a natural-gas pipeline from Lvov in the western Ukraine to Trieste to replace the fuel from its nearly depleted natural-gas fields in the Po Valley. Olivetti is also nearing the signing of a major contract under which it will build one factory to produce 150,000 typewriters a year for the Russian market, another to produce 50,000 calculating machines annually...
