...rural Alabama to $1,000,000 a mile in suburban New York. The oil v. gas competition is also heating up. The oil industry already pipelines directly to such airports as Washington's Dulles, New York's Kennedy and Chicago's O'Hare, where jet fuel demand is heavy; it is also planning lines directly into neighborhood service stations to replace tank trucks, considering community tanks from which metered home oil burners could draw directly as gas burners do. For its part, the gas industry is pushing a "total energy concept," in which pipelined gas will...
...years, the loudest noises in the aerospace business have been the rumble of liquid-fueled boosters blasting spacecraft into orbit, the sharper roar of solid-fuel military missiles climbing into their long trajectories, and the continuing, wordy battles between the promoters of each type. Now, back of the racket, can be heard the insistent voice of still another competitor in the rocketry race-the hybrid that manufactures its power by combining liquid oxidant with solid fuel. Detractors may scoff that the hybrid combines all the dangers and difficulties of both solids and liquids. Its champions are confident that...
Germany has been brooding about her mines for years. Once the power source of the nation's industry and still a politically potent force, coal has watched its share of the country's fuel market plunge from 92% in 1950 to 49.8% today. Rising production and labor costs in the old mines are partially responsible, and so are cheaper foreign coal prices; U.S. coal, highly automated and easier to dig out, undersells German coal by $2 a ton in Germany, and only a miserly quota keeps it from flooding the German market. Coal's greater rival...
Bonn imposed stiff excise taxes on fuel oil some time ago, and persuaded coal companies to close 37 mines and 122 coalpits by offering aid and incentive payments. Coal's decline has continued inexorably, and mountains of unsold coal have piled up throughout the Ruhr, the Saar and other coal-producing regions. Last week's mine closings were to meet the deadline for federal aid, since most of the mine owners-even some who are operating at a profit-see little hope for the future...
...crazy girl (Tiffin) find happiness at the end of an auto endurance race through Death Valley. As the dragster's inamorata, Pamela learns that falling in love with an "intuitive genius" can be an endurance test in itself. Darren spends so much time pondering gear ratios and reassembling fuel lines that he can scarcely stay awake long enough to endanger a girl's reputation. Of course, he regains consciousness moments before the Big Race, a tense, imaginatively shot sequence filled with screeching wheels and groaning metal as the cars hurtle toward the finish, arousing moviegoers just in time...
