Presidential Straws in the Wind (Wed. 8:30 p.m., CBS Television). Guests:Elmo Roper, Lyman Bryson...
...business" of aviation is the special province of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. In three great laboratories (Langley Field, Va., Cleveland, and Ames, Calif.) the earnest, enthusiastic scientists of the NACA are digging out deep-hidden facts about high-speed flight. They put experimental wingshapes in big & little wind tunnels, and test their behavior far above Mach i. They test engines and engine components in wind tunnels too, to see how they behave at great speed, low pressure, low temperature. They devise new, more powerful fuels and high-temperature alloys...
...Second Wind. The worrisome question of whether profits were keeping up with the overall increase in sales got some mixed answers. For H. J. Heinz Co., whose net dropped 18% despite a 17% rise to an alltime high in sales, the answer was no. But profits far outdistanced sales in other cases. For example, with sales up only 36% over the same period last year, General Portland Cement's six-month net jumped over 75%. In this year's second quarter, Willys-Overland had a 29% rise in sales, a 70% rise in profits...
...kind of music he regards as "more mature." In the years since The Rite, Stravinsky has turned out some 60 works, including The Wedding which is virtually a textbook today in some music classes; a remarkable oratorio, Oedipus Rex; The Soldier's Tale, Symphonies for Wind Instruments, Symphony in Three Movements, a Violin Concerto. All are as precisely and beautifully made as a fine watch-and, say his critics, most are about as emotional...
...ailment; in Lake Winola, Pa. As head of the world's greatest aeronautical research agency (serving U.S. plane builders and the armed forces), Dr. Lewis fathered major experimental laboratories at Langley Field. Va., Cleveland, and Moffett Field, Calif., guided a spate of new developments (in propellers, jet propulsion, wind tunnels, etc.), including revolutionary wing designs which cut "profile drag" (the main hindrance to flight efficiency) by about...
