Fantastic Acceptance." General Cigar claims "fantastic consumer acceptance" for HTL, which is used in place of conventional "binder," the layer of tobacco (12% of the cigar) that is sandwiched be tween inside "filler" and outer "wrapper." General has already licensed its process to other U.S. and foreign cigar makers, many of whom expect HTL to cut the cost of 10? cigars by 40? per 100. American Machine & Foundry Co. has developed another process for homogenized tobacco binder, also has patents on machines to turn out man-made leaf, which cigarette makers shred for filler. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. (Camels...
Eighteen months ago Andrei Vishinsky, the man who knew the answer to all these conjectures, died in the New York headquarters of the Soviet U.N. delegation. Since then Stalin's successors have hinted that the military trials of 1937 that wiped out the whole top layer of the Red army were frame-ups. Last week the journal Soviet State and Law denounced the whole process of trial by confession...

Bigwigs examine the Post nervously to see how their speeches are played-or to find ideas for new ones. The Washington press corps studies it for tips, ideas and slants that often influence the 500,000 words that clack out of the capital every day to news media all around the world...
Nobody knows how much energy is stored in the layer of atomic oxygen, but since the supply is renewed every day by sunlight, it should be inexhaustible. This opens up some interesting possibilities. In an earlier experiment the Cambridge men discovered that when nitric oxide is re leased in daytime, it is acted upon by sunlight and forms a dense cloud of electrified particles that reflect radio waves as a mirror reflects light. A few such reflectors properly spaced around the curve of the earth might support new kinds of long-range communication. Rockets fired at night might illuminate large...
...energy given off were applied to a kind of jet propulsion, it could theoretically keep a rocket or plane flying indefinitely, as long as it stays in the atomic oxygen layer. An aircraft that can find its own fuel 60 miles above the earth has obvious value, both for war and for peace...
