...scheduled for its first flight next summer, will be powered by four Pratt & Whitney J57 engines, rated at more than 10,000 Ibs. thrust v. 9,000 Ibs. thrust for Comet III engines. Payload of the new plane is put at 25,000 Ibs.. an increase of a third over the 18.750-lb. payload for Boeing's piston-engine Stratocruiser. The new jet transport will have wings swept back at the same angle as the B-47 and B-52 bombers. Cost of the new transport: an estimated...
United Aircraft's Pratt & Whitney division announced last week that it was ready to start commercial sales of its T-34 turboprop engine, the most powerful on the market. Up to now, the T-34 has been available only to the armed forces, which are installing it in an Air Force Douglas Globemaster and in two Navy Lockheed Super Constellations. The T-34 will develop 5,600 h.p., delivering 90% of it to a propeller and the remaining 10% to a jet thrust. Though turboprop planes are slower than pure jets, they are more efficient at take offs...
...finally agreed to grant exit visas to Gilmore's wife and two children, along with the families of two other Americans working for the U.S. in Moscow. Bohlen added that the Russians were also considering granting visas to the families of Gilmore's A.P. partner, Tom Whitney, and U.P.'s Henry Shapiro.

Bellows' bittersweet quality comes clear in the two pictures (opposite) that are favorites with gallerygoers in Manhattan and Bellows' home town of Columbus, Ohio. The Whitney Museum's Dempsey and Firpo shows Bellows at his toughest- hard, sweaty, and as direct as a left jab. He was at ringside with a commission from the New York Journal to draw the fight. He chose the instant when Firpo nailed the overconfident champion, sent him through the ropes and into the ringside seats. Children on the Porch, at the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts, shows Bellows on the opposite...
...plane is much like the DC-6B, but it has its own important differences. The DC-6B's Pratt & Whitney 2,500-h.p. engines have been replaced by 3,250-h.p. Wright turbo-compound engines, which use their exhaust jet to turn small turbines. This has stepped up the cruising speed to 365 m.p.h. (v. 310 in the DC-6Bs), making it possible to fly from New York to Los Angeles nonstop in eight hours. The plane has a cruising range of 4,450 miles, and, unlike the DC-6, can easily fly the Atlantic nonstop. The 69-passenger...
