...diesel locomotives still carry a useless "fireman." Says an International Harvester engineer in Milwaukee: "If you want to repair a machine, an electrician has to come and shut off the switch, a millwright loosens the nuts and bolts, a machine repairman will remove the pulley, the millwright removes the motor. Many times they won't work without a helper, even though there is nothing for him to do. WTe had to close many shops. Some men who weren't even skilled work ers were making $5.50 an hour...

Through peaceful and legal land reform, Betancourt's government has distributed 3,500,000 acres of land to more than 57,000 farm families and invested more than $100 million in agrarian redevelopment.

Possible applications of the ceramic sandwich seem practically endless. Westinghouse is already planning to build them into remotely controlled locks for car trunks or motor hoods. They show promise of great value as relays for operating switches at a distance. And in the not too remote future they may help an orbiting astronaut make his way around his zero-gravity spaceship. Weightless, the space traveler would float aimlessly. With ceramic sandwiches in the soles' of his shoes and small batteries in his pocket, he could walk up metal walls or cross a ceiling using only a pair of pushbuttons...
