about the city. "The Phenix City

"Sure, we're taking along a

said today. "The attorney gen

There are some rough people

Hollywood independent film
makers are quick to pounce
upon headlines that have ready
made audiences. After the re
cent H-bomb "fallout" news
stories, titles were registered to
cover every plot from "H-Bomb,
Detroit" to "H-Bomb, New
York."
The ink was hardly dry on the
Serge Rubinstein murder yarns
before a claim was filed for the
title, "The Serge Rubinstein
Story."
The news of how a reforming
attorney was murdered before
he could clean up Phenix City
also came to the attention of the
celluloid businessmen of Holly
wood. Two weeks ago Director
Karlson visited the Alabama
community to line up location
sites. The first week in April
the director and his company
plan to film the entire movie on
the actual locale.
"Since the militia cleaned up
the town the good people are
in control and are cooperating
with us," Karlson said.
Sign Citizens
"The gambling section is clos
ed but the city is going to turn
on the lights again so we can
photograph it. We've already
signed up many of .the citizens
there to act in the film.
"We want to give it a docu
mentary, realistic flavor. We've
also using New York actors from
television. We'll shoot in Phenix
City five weeks."
Karlson is wide-eyed with
tales of Phenix City, where
truth apparently is stranger
than Hollywood screen fiction.
He claims he met a man who
"has killed four people and still
is a respected citizen." One of
the town "villains" took down

Steam-Powered Automobile Gets
'25 Miles To Gallon of Water'
Madison, Wis. (U.R)
Charles Keen boasted today his
modern steam-powered automo
bile gets "25 miles to the gallon
of water" and has so much pow
er he's afraid to open it up on
the road.
The neat little sport coupe,
which he calls a "Keen Steam
liner," has no exhaust and does
not make any noise, yet 'has so
much pickup that when he steps
on the accelerator "it just about
jumps."
All of this and speed, too.
Keen said he had never had the
courage to shove the accelera
tor all the way down, but he has
driven it 80 miles per hour with
only partial power.
The uncanny silence is the
thing that amazes most viewers.
A passenger once told him the
car sounds "as if it's being push
ed by someone wearing rubber
shoes."
He said the silence comes
from the fact that the engine
has no exhaust.
All 'Bugs' Are Out
The hand-built steam car has
cost Keen, owner of a Madison
die and stamping business, about
15 years and 5100,000 to devel
op. He said he has finally lick
ed all the "bugs" in the vehicle,
"but I sure did a lot of work to
get them out."
A steam boiler of his own de
sign under the hood develops
about 1000 pounds of pressure
35 seconds after he starts it. The
steam drives a two-cylinder
Keen-designed engine which is
the equivalent of an eight-cylinder
gasoline engine because
the pistons don't have to make
a special stroke to exhaust the
burned fuel. Every stroke is a
power stroke.
The steam returns to the con
denser, which is located where
the radiator is in a regular car,
and it becomes water again.
Then the water is turned back
to steam and the process is re
peated all over again.
Runs on Anything
Water is boiled by means of
i burner, which can be run on
kerosene, diesel oil, paint thin
ner, furnace oil, or even gaso
line. In fact, it will run on any
thing combustible, "including
moonshine w-hisky," Keen said.
He said his 10-gallon tank of
water is enough to last 250
miles and he gets 15 to 16 miles
per gallon of low-cost fuel.
Unlike the old Stanley Steam
er, the Keen steamliner takes
only 35 seconds to get up steam.
The Stanley took 20 to 30 min
utes, and sometimes exploded.
"The danger of an explosion
is non-existence in this car,"
Keen said.
No Shift. No Clutch
There is no gear shift and no
clutch. When the accelerator is
pushed, live steam is fed into
the engine instead of more gas
as in the internal combustion
type engine. To back up, a lever
is pulled which merely reverses
the engine. It will go just as
fast backwards as it will for
ward, which is something to
think about.
Maintenance is no problem.
Keen figured the car could run
200,000 miles without a major
overhaul. He has already driven
it about 40,000 miles without
any trouble.
Keen himself doesn't get all
steamed up over his car. He
said "it's not super, not colossal,
just a nice automobile to drive."
