...struggle against Communist aggression: The Southern Democrats, the Fair Deal Democrats and the liberal Republicans joined to push through the Administration's program for the defense of Western Europe. Most important: the Senate's resolution approving the dispatch of four additional U.S. divisions to Germany; the $7.3 billion appropriation to provide arms and economic aid for Western Europe, non-Communist Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. On resolutions demanding a clear-cut anti-Communist policy on China, conservative Republicans, liberal Republicans, Southern Democrats and even Fair Dealers joined. The two Republican blocs insisted, by resolution, that strategic...
...82nd Congress will reconvene next Jan. 8, instead of Jan. 3, as prescribed (but not required) by the 20th amendment to the Constitution. Senate Majority Leader Ernest McFarland observed that Jan. 3 was Thursday, a wasteful day, and suggested that the date be pushed forward to the following Monday, Jan. 7. House Speaker Sam Rayburn gently suggested another push to Tuesday, the 8th. His reason: the Monday meeting would require him to travel on Jan. 6, his 70th birthday...
Kumsong, the Reds' central-front bastion, and beyond Yonchon, about 35 miles to the west. On the Yonchon sector, the battered but indomitable U.S.1st Cavalry Division had been trying, against savage enemy resistance, to push the Reds out of hills from which they could fire on the rail line from Seoul to Chorwon, the allied-held west corner of the old Red Iron Triangle. Last week, as the ist Cavalry's men waded in with bayonets and grenades, enemy resistance suddenly collapsed as the beaten Chinese Communists pulled out to the north. The G.I.s moved into the enemy...
...Like Getting to the Palace." Thirteen rugged years of watching engine speeds on dashboard tachometers, of avoiding oil slicks and holes have gone into Tony's racing education. In his first race, a midget car contest in Chicago, he thought he "could just push the other guys' cars out of the way." He tried it, promptly turned over and bounced out on his head, but luckily was not badly hurt. "Brother, did I learn better!" Since then - after three broken ribs, a seven-stitched lip, a broken arm and two severely burned legs - Tony has averaged...
...Rotor. McDonnell will not tell what its convertiplane will be like. Sky-side gossip believes that it will have a rotor driven by some sort of jet. One possibility is small ram-jets on each blade tip to push the rotor around. Another is a central turbojet engine blowing hot gases through hollow rotor blades. The gas will escape as jets from one side of each blade tip, making the rotor spin. When the aircraft has gained enough altitude, the central engine will be used to propel it forward, supported partly by the windmilling rotor, partly by small wings...
