...abolish the battery system. It would mean the loss of 150 million eggs a year, said the ministry, and Britain cannot afford that. "In a battery, a hen is protected from the things it dislikes most," said the official announcement. "They are: heavy rain, excessive wind, excessive cold or heat, bullying and cannibalism. Whether the bird itself has views, we do not know. But . . . too many people think of hens in human terms. They say the birds can't lie down [in the batteries]. A hen doesn't lie down, anyway-it roosts, and it can just...
...race proved, they have not yet caught up with Stan Sayres. Throwing up a saucy rooster tail of white spray as she churned round & round the 3¼-mile course, Slo-Mo IV rubbed the Detroit boats in her wake. Behind on only one lap of the three-heat, go-mile race, she racked up speed records for a single lap and a full heat. First owner ever to win four Gold Cups in a row, Stanley Sayres said happily: "The old family runabout did it again...
Surveying the wonder world of titanium, most U.S. businessmen have kept their eyes fixed on the sky.

The chemical industry pioneered the extracting of chemicals from coal through hydrogenation (TIME, May 12, 1952); the utility industry worked out methods of getting more heat energy out of a given amount of coal. A few machinery makers spend about one-third as much on improving coal-mining equipment as the entire coal industry spends on research and development...
...heat, Iran's worst in 60 years, came in with a terrible wind called "sharji." Soon the asphalt of the sidewalks was melting in the sun. In Abadan and Khorramshahr, all shops closed down, and the oil company's air-conditioning system would not work because the water warmed too quickly in the condenser. Abadan's two ice plants (capacity: 70 tons a day) could not meet the demand as smugglers shipped heavy loads out to oil-rich Kuwait and Qatar. In ten days, Iran's heat wave killed 158 people...
