...Atomic Age. When will such an atomic engine be ready? Last week the Newport News shipyard, which is working on the supercarrier Forrestal, gave a possible hint. It took ads asking for men "interested in a career in atomic energy." It looked as if the shipbuilding company hopes to land a contract for another carrier of the Forrestal class, to be powered by an atomic engine. Price evidently thinks the atomic age of power is close. This week he announced that Westinghouse will spend $2,000,000 to build, on an abandoned golf course five miles northeast of Pittsburgh...
...Tampa and took off again at 4:40 with 41 passengers-many of them holiday travelers bound for the Mardi Gras. It was due in New Orleans at 5:45 C.S.T., but Flight 470 was never completed. Captain Springer's last radio report, at 5:12, gave no hint of danger. After that, attempts to get in touch with the plane were answered only by a silence-silence and the howl of sudden heavy winds which battered the shore line hard enough to tear off roofs at Grand Isle...

Radford came & went publicly, but gave not a hint of the reason for the visit. Nonetheless, the word got around that he was giving his opinions on the possibilities of a naval blockade of the Chinese Communist coast...
Many Chicagoans thought Ryerson was giving a gentle hint to his fellow bank director, Montgomery Ward's 79-year-old Chairman Sewell Avery. If so, the dig did not bother Avery, but it did stir up an argument among other elderly Chicago business leaders. Said Wilson & Co.'s 84-year-old Chairman Thomas E. Wilson: "I suppose if a 66-year-old man thinks he is old, that's his opinion. Personally, I think it is much too young to retire." Snorted 86-year-old Real Estate Man John E. Scully: "Better wear out than rust...
