...Going . . ." Less than an hour before, the two planes had taken off for the East only three minutes apart (the slower Connie first) from Los Angeles International Airport. Now they were due to converge over the same color-drenched desert radio station at the same minute, both flying at exactly the same altitude. When, at 9:15 a.m., T.W.A.'s Captain Jack S. Gandy, 42, asked CAA for permission to fly his Constellation at 21,000 ft. instead of his assigned 19,000 ft., CAA had refused. But CAA granted Captain Gandy permission...
...holder in the 400 meters at 0:45.4, who was 0.3 sec. off that time last week; Middle-Distance Runner Arnie Sowell, a wisp of a Negro with the delicate legs of a thoroughbred, who set an American record in the 800 meters at 1 :46.7, just a second slower than the worlds record; and, of course, Dave Sime, world record holder in the 220-yd. dash and the 220-yd. low hurdles, and co-holder of the world's record in the 100-yd. dash. As a backstop to Sime, Abilene Christian's Bobby Morrow qualified...
...TRANSPORT will be offered, to airlines in competition with U.S. craft. Russians are listing twin-jet TU-104 at $2,000,000, including spare parts, v. about $6,000,000 for U.S. Boeing 707 or Douglas DC-8. Russian transport is smaller, slower, shorter-ranged than U.S. planes and only slightly pressurized, but airmen expect dollar-short foreign airlines to buy some...
...Olympic year the decision could easily be made. This year's eight has beaten all but three crews in eastern competition so far this season; it has defeated the defending Olympic champions, the Navy Admirals; in time trials last week on the Charles it was clocked a few seconds slower than the all-time river mark; and last Saturday at Princeton it rowed a race which in any other year and against almost any other crew would have made Harvard an obvious selection for the Syracuse competion...
...composer. The movements are: Larghetto, Allegro Molto, Andantino, and Allegro. This is an intensity about it that commands attention. Something is being said that is worth listening to, particularly in the faster movements, where brilliant figurations and subtle rhythms sustain a motion that has few lapses. The slower sections are less interesting, the Larghetto being the least successful of the movements. The Andantino, quiet and comparatively consonant, is sometimes a little too sweet and sometimes a bit irrelevant. On the whole, though, the Sonata in E-flat has sincerity and strength...
