...whole engine-and-pylon assembly might have to be redesigned and manufactured with strengthened chrome steel, Duralumin and stainless steel fittings. These would be tested in wind tunnels, simulators and actual flights. The process could take weeks or months-or longer...

...technology. Converting coal since the 1950s, South Africa now produces 10% of its oil and gas from coal. The Pretoria government has commissioned Fluor Corp. to build two new plants for $6.7 billion that will produce more than 80,000 bbl. of oil per day by 1983.

South Africa keeps cost figures secret, but outside estimates of close to $30 per bbl. make conversion only a longterm, expensive solution to U.S. energy needs. However, a small test plant has been built in Catlettsburg, Ky., with federal, state...

This has not been allowed to happen in Savannah and other cities where minority groups, assisted by token loans, have been able to rehabilitate their own neighborhoods with sweat...
