...year (equaling TV's Jack Paar), lives in Beverly Hills and drives a 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III. With her four-octave range, which she claims matches the eerie range of Peruvian Vocal Acrobat Yma Sumac, she can take off from low C below middle C and soar to C above high C. But this endowment also drives Gloria to despair: nobody wants to hear her sing straight...
SPACESHIP ORDERS will come soon from Washington. Decision now is being made on which companies are to get multimillion-dollar contracts for "Dyna-Soar" (from dynamic soaring), i.e., vehicle that will be boosted up like a rocket but will have wings and controls to permit pilot to orbit freely around globe, then glide back to earth...

The first is the rocket plane X-15 (TIME, March 3), which Putt thinks can be beefed up enough to carry an orbiting human and return him to earth alive. The second is DYNA-SOAR (from "dynamic soaring"), a vehicle that will use what Putt calls "boost-glide flight." It will be boosted up like a rocket, but will have wings and controls. The pilot can permit it to orbit freely around the earth for a while, or he can bring it down into the atmosphere...
