Made from natural gas, salt and air, dynel can be dyed, woven with other fabrics or used alone. Davidson says it is washable, mothproof, almost shrinkproof, and resistant to strong chemicals. At $1.25 a lb., manufacturers may find dynel a cheap substitute for wool, which, for similar use, sells at $2.15 to $3.50 a lb. Since dynel orders already far outstrip the company's annual production of 2,000,000 lbs., work was started last week to double the output. If dynel catches on, Union Carbide hopes to expand to as much as 40 million lbs. a year...
...essential part is a spherical stainless steel tank one foot in diameter. Inside is a water solution of uranyl nitrate which contains 1.9 lb. of fissionable U-235. Water running through a coiled tube keeps the reactor cool, and another tube piercing the sphere gives access to its interior. One big advantage of HYPO is that it is self-regulating. If the chain reaction gets going too fast, the solution heats up and expands, reducing its density and therefore its reactivity. So the reaction slows down automatically until the solution has cooled off. This built-in stability makes HYPO...

The Air Force said that 90% of Sinuiju's military targets-warehouses, factories, locomotive sheds and railroad marshaling yards-had been destroyed, and the approaches to one of the bridges knocked out. Later in the week the U.S. Navy knocked out three of the Yalu River bridges, including...
Such remarks (and that was a long speech for Willie) have built up his reputation as a cool customer both on & off the tracks. Little (4 ft. 9½ in., 102 Ibs.) Willie early learned to handle himself in his own league, at 15 won the 90-lb. boxing and wrestling championships of San Gabriel Valley High Schools. Because of his size, wiry Willie determined to be a jockey, got his first job as an exercise boy on a California ranch three years ago. From the day he brought home his first winner, in April 1949, Willie has made...
