Fighters and fighter bombers of the U.S. Ninth Air Force swooped low, bombed the self-propelled guns, methodically blocked the road. Then they began working the column over. Said Blazus...
China's hunger pangs were described with sharp medical clarity recently by a British surgeon. The average Chinese diet was always so low in protein (nitrogen compounds in meat, fish, some vegetables) that the slightest disruption in supply might produce famine. The disruption brought about by the war has"'been enormous. In south Kwangtung last year, H. T. Laycock, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, doctored hundreds of Chinese who had been getting no protein at all. Wrote he to the British Medical Journal...

The fact that no astronaut has yet succeeded in shooting a rocket more than two miles up does not shake their faith. They have learned something of what they are up against and have turned their studies to practical engineering details. Some of the problems are clearly posed in a new book (Rockets; Viking; $3.50) by Willy Ley, onetime colleague of German Professor Hermann Oberth, reported inventor of the robot bomb (TIME, July...
...M.P.H. If any living U.S. rocketeer ever shoots a rocket into outer space, it is most likely to be bald Professor Robert Hutchings Goddard of Clark University (TIME, March 2, 1936), who has been making rockets since 1907.

He was the first to shoot a liquid-fueled rocket (in 1923), and at last account had fired one nearly a mile and a half high, at 700 m.p.h. Because he has published little on his findings and has experimented mostly in the privacy of a New Mexican desert, fellow...
