Johnson's bill also calls for expansion of existing programs. There would be loans to new or expanded industries in depressed areas, loans to small businesses, literacy and vocational training for mothers who collect aid for dependent children, pilot projects to aid unemployed fathers...
...crewcut, U.S.-trained air force commander. Unmoved by their protests, Paz was all set to send Barrientos into semi-exile as ambassador to London, a classic Bolivian ploy for settling intraparty disputes. Then, late one night last month, Barrientos was mysteriously ambushed and shot. The U.S. command pilot wings on his right chest deflected the bullet, and Barrientos was not seriously wounded. Instead, the assassination attempt made him a hero. Sniffing the wind, Paz persuaded Fortún to resign from the ticket. When Barrientos returns soon to La Paz from a Canal Zone hospital, it will...
AFTER quitting school in the eighth grade and bouncing around as a stunt pilot, semipro baseball player and riveter, Thomas Elliott Millsop landed a salesman's job at Weirton Steel in 1927.

Last week he announced that National will build the world's first mill containing all three of the industry...

...speed loitering and landing. The broad, rear delta develops high lift at moderate speeds, but as a swept-wing plane moves faster, its center of lift shifts rearward towards the tail. If it is not counteracted in some way, this shift will make the plane dangerously nose heavy. A pilot might use his elevators to hold the nose up, but this maneuver would cause costly drag. The All licks the problem in a simple and straightforward manner; it has small lifting structures ahead of the main delta. They give almost no lift at low speed, but as speed picks...
