...Billion Feast. At present, Hurley uses the new line only for the 3,500-h.p. Wright Turbo-Compound piston engine, which powers the Fairchild Packet, Lockheed Super Constellation and Douglas DC-7. But Hurley wants to use it for all Curtiss-Wright's new and secret family of jets and turboprops. There are two new Air Force turboprops, the T47 and T-49, under tight security wraps: both are reported to turn out more than 12,000 h.p. Curtiss-Wright is also testing a jet engine of great power called the J-67, which develops well over...

...biographer has recorded the last days of Ulysses S. Grant at that cottage, but few have known them as well as Hungarian-born Historian Stefan Lorant (Lincoln-A Picture Story of His Life-Harper; $6). Last week Lorant presented the source of his knowledge to West Point-a packet of manuscripts that he had bought from Grant's descendants. Among the manuscripts were nine tragic little notes, penciled by West Pointer Grant himself. Such notes were about his only means of conversation after cancer destroyed his voice...
