...present schedule, the Neptune will not be fired until late in 1948. But the designers know now, theoretically, about what the rocket will do. The jet will develop a maximum thrust of about 11½ tons. This will last for 75 seconds, raising the rocket (with a minimum pay load of 100 lbs.) to 38 miles above the earth. Then it will coast upward to 237 miles before its momentum is exhausted. Its greatest speed coming down will be 8,200 ft. per second (4,833 m.p.h.). Maximum pay load: one ton. The Navy does not estimate publicly...

To convince a people already groaning under their tax load that even more gifts abroad are not only necessary, but desirable, is a tall order, and there can be no better time to start than...
...aircraft:* the rocket-propelled Bell XS-1 (TIME, Dec. 23), designed to reach a supersonic 1,000 m.p.h.; the Navy's carrier-based XFJ-1 jet fighter; Consolidated Vultee's gigantic six-motored B-36, the "Flying Cigar," which can carry a 10,000-lb. bomb load 5,000 miles and return to base; Consolidated's needle-slim XB-46, the Northrop XB-35 Flying Wing, now being adapted to jet propulsion...
...make things worse, three trainloads of milk went sour on the way to the capital. And just at the height of the heat wave, London's water supply staggered and broke down under a record load of 428 million gallons a day-30 million gallons more than last year's consumption for the same period. Taps gurgled and ran dry in thousands of London homes, and once again Londoners were queuing up on the streets, this time with jugs and cans, to wait for a cooling ration from city water carts and hydrants. In many a London kitchen...
Yale scored in each of the first four innings. Jitters caught the Crimson starter, Wallace, early as he pitched eight straight balls and hit the third man in the Blue batting order to load the bases and set the stage for Bolt Elwell's high hopper. Going from first to second on the hit, Yale third baseman Dick Mathews crashed into Jack Forts, who was unable to handle the chance. Two runs came across on the play...
