...brains that set up orders, encode instructions to lesser machines, post accounts, send out bills, write letters and clank out profit and loss statements. One of the newest of the great brains is the $5,500,000 RCA-built Bizmac, now being installed in Detroit by the Army Ordnance Tank-Automotive Command to keep track of tank and auto parts all over the world. Operators who sit at Bizmac's console can store away on magnetic tape records of 155,000 types of spare parts, lists of vehicles that use them, detailed inventories in major depots from Japan...

...down in the crowded Senate caucus room last week to face the storm over U.S. foreign policy. In charge was Georgia's Walter George, who had called the unusual open session of the Foreign Relations Committee primarily to find out about the off-again, on-again Saudi Arabian tank shipment.

Says he: "Brother, this is the plane to end them all. It takes four railroad tank cars of fuel, flies at altitudes in excess of nine miles. It's as light as a feather to control, and yet it has a rudder four stories high, and it weighs 390,000 Ibs. at takeoff. I've got the power of 30 diesel locomotives out there on the wings...
Though it created the T-37 as a purely military jet, Cessna is well aware that it may also have the prototype of the first U.S. private jet plane. By removing the present gas tank from the fuselage and carrying gas in wing tanks, the T-37 can be easily converted into a four-passenger plane. The plane can take off from a 2,500-ft. runway, fly at a top speed of 400 m.p.h., yet land at the comparatively low speed of 80 m.p.h. When Cessna gets into peak production of the plane, it expects to be turning them...
