Died. Francis Carino Alberto Milano, 44. a mimic of sounds on U.S. network airwaves, whose talented bark for RCA Victor's "His Master's Voice'' and tasty Snap! Crackle! Pop! for Kellogg's Rice Krispies earned him a 330-acre upstate New York farm where, so he said, even the chipmunks thought he was real; of a heart attack; in Hudson...
...squash team's 6-3 victory over McGill was fairly easy; the 3-1 win over Army was a snap, and today's match with M.I.T. will be a joke. The strongest Crimson racquet squad is years anticipates a 9-0 romp over the flimsy Tech team...
White-Hot Metal. The most striking Middletown project is SNAP-50, a lightweight nuclear-power reactor designed to operate in space. Incorporating technical know-how gained on the airplane-engine project, this SNAP (for Systems for Nuclear Auxiliary Power) contains liquid lithium and gaseous potassium, tricky fluids that would drive most engine designers to seek liquid solace. Molten lithium is frightening stuff; it corrodes almost anything, and bursts into flame on contact with oxygen. Gaseous potassium, while not quite so bad, is hot and explosive...
...strange fluids demanded new alloys to contain them and new kinds of pumps and valves to move them around. Whole technologies had to be developed to make them behave properly. Pratt & Whitney scientists are confident that SNAP-50 will be well tested by 1965. When it finally takes to space, it will find plenty of important work: providing electricity for long-distance radar and communication, working the spacecraft's instruments and internal machinery, running an ion propulsion engine to change course while cruising through deep space...
