Victor's 1958 model has not yet made the sales charts, and she still has some things to do (dancing lessons, reducing sessions), but there is a good chance that she will sell. Jennie's voice is still maturing from callow to mellow, but it is husky and wholesome, sounds fine in simple arrangements of When I Fall in Love and the little-girlish My Very Good Friend in the Looking Glass, timidly torchy in I'm a Fool to Want You. From her Victor royalties, Jennie has an excellent prospect of becoming rich enough to retire...
Disneyland: Walt Disney's hour-long Mars and Beyond on ABC this week (Wed. 7:30 p.m.. E.S.T.) is doubly instructive. It should teach viewers of all ages plenty about the prospects of life and travel in the solar system, should serve TV producers well as a model of how to combine information with entertainment. A dozen Disney artists and animators under Producer-Director Ward Kimball enjoyed the advantage of a subject that is not only fascinating in itself but, since it soars off into the unpicturable, uniquely suited to their technique. They did not confuse the popular...
...child can learn to play such simple tunes as Oh! Susanna, Noel and Home, Sweet Home.

...ended a heated race among the nation's major planemakers to bring forth a suitable medium-range jet for United. Boeing nabbed the contract by carefully studying requirements of United and other air carriers, and by revamping its unpopular 717 medium-range jet into an improved, 600-m.p.h. model. The four-engine 720, whose existence was revealed only a few days before United announced its order, puts Boeing on the inside track in the brisk competition for further medium-range jet orders. It will carry 100 to 125 passengers (v. 120 to 150 for the larger DC-8) plus...
Bill Changer. The first automatic device to make change for paper currency, long a vexing problem to vending-machine operators, was announced by Chicago's A.B.T. Manufacturing Corp. The table-model machine changes $1 bills by scanning the bill through six holes with photoflood lights, registering the beams on a light-sensitive surface. The machine recognizes and rejects counterfeits, foreign currency and bills of wrong denominations. It can be modified to handle $2, $5 or $10 bills. Estimated price when it goes on the market in the spring...
