Serving as his own guinea pig, Dr. Lilly stripped himself naked, put on a skin-diver's mask for breathing, and was suspended face down in a tank of warm, slowly flowing water. In this "dead man's float" position, he was almost as out of this world as if he were still unborn. He could see nothing. He could hear nothing except his own breathing and faint water sounds from the piping. Except for the face mask and the gently touching supports, he could feel nothing. The temperature of the water, 94° F., made it feel...
...facilities. But there is much more to see and do: the handsome Philippine Capitol at Malacañan Palace, where President Magsaysay enjoys shaking hands with visitors, tours through the tropical countryside which include a look at native dancing and cockfighting plus a whopping big Filipino meal (a barbecued pig, prawns, coconut ice cream eaten out of a coconut shell). One local delicacy for the daring: balut, a duck egg ready to hatch...
...authority from its lack of focus. He would very likely come off best on Broadway in the main slot of a revue. In any case, he is not well served in this jerry-built gag show, Broadway's latest example of burning down a house to roast a pig...
...wheat and cotton production under the crop quota program. But on 17 million acres farmers started growing feed grains. This and the large corn crops pushed down the price of feed, thus encouraged farmers to raise cattle faster than the demand called for. To add to the trouble, pig production, which normally does not move up with cattle production, also increased. As a result, the estimated farm value of cattle has now dropped down to $88 per head...
Though processing low-grade ore costs up to $30 per ton, the even quality of the pellets hikes blast-furnace output as much as 20%, and produces better pig iron. An even bigger advantage of low-grade iron ore is its large supply. Only five years ago steelmen were predicting that some of the nation's high-grade ore deposits would be mined out by 1970. By using its low-grade ore, the U.S. should have plenty of ore for another several hundred years...
