The male passenger was Frank Braun, 35, of Philadelphia, who brought his wife and their two chil dren to see Mrs. Braun's parents just outside London. Braun said be bad to stand up all the way 14 hours because all the seats were full of mothers and babies. But a flask "I put away a pint or two of whisky" was some help. The plane was chartered from British Overseas Airways(BOAC) by Cosmopolitan Associates, a war bride group. The plane also carried axrew of 10. BOAC officials said the 118 persons were the most a Strato cruiser had ever carried. 4 CHROME PLATING COPPER NICKEL GOLD SILVER PLATING GUN BLUING. BUFFING, METAL FINISHING, ALL.

V Fund For Wheat Smut Research Asked In House WASHINGTON Wl -An Oregon congressman asked House col leagues Thursday to approve a $37,000 appropriation for research on wheat smut control. The Senate voted that amount In tha Agriculture Department's appropriation bill for the year be ginning July 1. The House recom mended only $17,000 for the smut research. The bill is now in con- ference to iron out differences in the House and Senate versions. In letters to each of the House conferees, Rep.

The crushed rock is used os a base for the new highway being constructed from Lone Rockbridge to Rock Creek. (Paul Jenkins Picture) Rush Construction Company Operates Quarry For Highway Base Materials By MRS. ARTHUR M. SELBY The'Rush Construction Company, which started operations of a rock quarry on the DeBernardi prop erty near Idleyld the fore-part of April, is individually owned by Richard Rush, whose main office is at Seattle, Wash. Rush motors every weekend to his home in Seat, tie to visit bis wife and children (two sons and two daughters). Rush brought here from Seattle about $200,000 of his $250,000 worth of equipment. This consists of two air compressors (250 ft. and 500 ft), three wagon drills, 1 yard pow er shovel, four rock crushers, 16 dump trucks, three moving trucks and a pickup truck for messenger service. Rush has been in the rock crushing business for 17 years. The first operation on solid rock formation, he said, is the drilling of hiles by the air compressors in which to place the dynamite. Up to two tons of dynamite for one blast is used. Then the broken rock is loaded into the dump trucks by the power chovel. The trucks-drive up a long ramp, dumping the rock into a feeder which drops the rock into the first crusher. From there, the rock travels by conveyor to another crusher. Four crushers are used according to the size rock needed for construction of the highway. Three grades are usod before completion of the road. After the rock goes through the crushers, and on into the bunkers, the trucks deliver it to the job. After a dynamite blast, there are many, many boulders which do not shatter and which are too large to be handled by the trucks or crushers. These must be shattered by an operation termed "bull-dozing." The boulders are plastered with dynamite powder and then shot. The company's 26 man-crew produces 80 cubic yards of crush ed rock per shift. Fund Voted By House For Bases Overseas WASHINGTON W The House passed Thursday without change a bill authorizing $2,758,318,000 to build Army, Navy and Air Bases at home and overseas. No attempt was made to cut " on the House floor. It was the third and last regular administra tion measure covering domestic and foreign military expenditures and the only one to avoid attack In the House.

CARTER TIRE COMPANY Authorized Dealer (444 N. Stephens GENERAL ELECTRIC FOOD FREEZERS Dial 3-7366 New Chemical Compounds May Become Power Source Of Automobiles In Future By DAVID J. WILKIB AP Automotive Editor ATLANTIC CIT.Y N. J. ( New chemical compounds with tremendous expansion rates are being considered as the power source of automobiles of the future. ' If the hopes of engineers working with these compounds are realized, miles per gallon of fuel no longer will be one of the motorist's worries. He will get virtually unlimited mile age. Objective of the research which has been going on for more than five years was explained Informal ly Wednesday by one of the engi neers attending the summer meet ings hjre of the Society of Auto motive engineers. Asking that he remain unidenti fied, he explained that tests now are being made with what is known as a "closed circuit" en gine. That is a power plant in which there is no exhaust and in which the acceleration characteristics of steam power is gained. Power Action Explained But the power is not steam. It is a liquid compound which is boiled into vapor, released into the engine's cylinder head, then passed tnrough a radiator to be restored to its liquid form and returned to the supply tank. Because it is scaled in the sys tem, there is no loss of the chem ical compound. However, there is a small consumption of some form of fuel gasoline or electricity used to operate the h?ating unit that converts the liquid initially in- 10 vapor. The engineer who outlined the project emphasized that the pro posed method of obtaining nnwer doesn't contemplate "perpetual mo tion" and long has been under study in Europe as well as the United States for use in self-propelled vehicles. He said the engine under test had an internal heat about one third that of a conventional auto engine and that it could be ade quately air-cooled. .
