Closing the first phase of hearings with Dave Beck last week, Kennedy was surprised not at all to see Beck duck behind the Fifth Amendment. From. Counsel Kennedy came a typical reaction: "With the records we have, we'll prove what he would have said if he had talked...
Exposés & Affidavits. The Oregonian (circ. 230,850) was braced for the shocked reaction its exposé caused among readers. What it did not expect was a violent counterattack from its rival daily, the Oregon Journal (circ. 181,489). Soundly beaten on the story and unable to lay hands on the tape-recorded evidence, the Journal sent a reporter along with D.A. Langley on a hoked-up raid on an Elkins aide who had some tapes in his possession. The tapes were turned over to the Journal reporter, who allowed the Teamster organizer to copy them, and were then...
...Even if we want the consumers and taxpayers to continue bearing this burden, can we expect them to acquiesce? I believe their reaction to this federal budget shows they are waking up. I believe that, more and more, efficient cotton growers will accept the proposition of a gradual reduction in price-support levels until they lose significance except as what Secretary Benson described as 'disaster insurance'-to be accompanied by complete cessation of Government control over acreage as soon as the present surplus is reduced to manageable proportions. That is the dignified, self-reliant status that proud...
High B.T.U. When engineers speak of fuel, they mean any material that yields energy as a result of chemical reaction. This definition excludes nuclear "fuels." e.g., U-235, but it includes thousands of lesser energy-yielders. Petroleum hydrocarbons (gasoline, kerosene, etc.) are the commonest aviation fuels only because they are plentiful, convenient and relatively cheap. Many other chemicals yield more energy. Hydrogen has the highest heat of combustion (52,000 B.T.U.* per lb.), but carbon is rather low (14.500 B.T.U. per lb.). Hydrocarbons, which contain both carbon and hydrogen, are therefore intermediate. Kerosene burned in jet engines yields only about...
...heart of Chicago's Fort Dearborn project, a 150-acre slum-clearance development on the main northern approach to the Loop, city planners decided to build a memorial to Atomic Physicist Enrico Fermi, who achieved the first controlled nuclear chain reaction, on a squash court under the stands of the University of Chicago's Stagg Field. When an international architectural competition was launched, 355 entrants from 25 countries submitted their designs. Last week the jury awarded first prize and $5,000 to Architect Reginald Caywood Knight, 35, of M.I.T.'s department of architecture...
