Miniature Airport
To Test Jet Noise
Lafoxlll U.R) Scientists
seeking ways of cutting the
screaming noise made by jet air
craft in flight have built a mini
ature airport here to test the
effects of weather and atmos
phere on sound.
Physicists from the Illinois In
stitute of Technology already
have learned that less noise
reaches the ground in summer
than in winter and when jets fly
in a certain direction of the
wind.
The Lafox experimental sta
tion used in the study is equip
ped with ground-air radio fa
cilities and an observation
tower. A plane is used as the
noise source and is flown at
various distances from a micro
phone. '
An operator on the ground di
rects the flight pattern flown by
the pilot and controls a maze of
scientific apparatus designed to
measure atmospheric character
istics during each flight.
Information learned from the
sky by the scientists will be
turned over to the Air Force for
use in locating airports of the
future and improving the opera
tion of those now in existence.

been described as the most un
predictable free for all in Texas
political history predicted today
it will be one of their party who
comes out winner Tuesday in a
special Senate election.
Eighteen Democrats and two
Republicans are seeking the of
fice. There is no runoff high
man wins.
One of the Republicans, attor
ney Thad Hutcheson of Houston,
a political novice, has the back
ing of President Eisenhower,
Vice President Richard M. Nix
on and his state GOP organiza
tion. ,
Democrats Split
Hutcheson's chances are en
hanced by the split in the Demo

by tradition sends Democrats to
the Senate.
But the Houston attorney faces
stiff competition in an election
that may see only 800,000 vot
ers go to the polls.
The leading Democratic con
tenders in the race are Congress-
man-at-large Martin Dies, who
has carried his campaign across
the state; Ralph Yarborough, an

Will Link Buses
Rochester, N.Y. U.R) "This
is bus operator 63, calling to re
port a mechanical breakdown . . .
passengers getting impatient . . .
suggest sending relief bus."
This is the kind of direct com
munication that will result when
the Rochester Transit Corp. in
augurates a novel experiment
soon.
RTC President William A.
Lang said his company will in
troduce the first use of two-way
radio communication with buses
by any urban transit company in
the United States.
The test, under which trans
ceiver units may be installed in
25 buses by May 1, was arranged
under an agreement between
Rochester Transit and Strom-berE-Carlson,
a division of Gen
eral Dynamics Corp. Stromberg
Carlson here is developing the
special two-way radio equipment
to be used.
During a 60 to 90-day trial
period, officials of the two firms
will join in an intensive study of
the system to evaluate the vari
ous factors involved in extending
it to RTC's whole fleet of buses.
Lang expects marked improve
ments beneficial to bus riders.
He noted that bus operators will
be able to report immediately
any traffic delays, unexpected
concentration of passengers, ac
cidents or mechanical difficul
ties. This will make it possible
to initiate immediately whatever
measures may be necessary to
correct the trouble, he added.
Both Lang and Robert C. Tait,
Stromberg-Carlson president, ex
pressed confidence the test will
prove the system worthwhile
with resultant equipment of all
RTC's nearly 300 buses before
the end cf 1957. .
"April 1 The jackalope was
first discovered in 1829 by Roy
Ball, a Wyoming fur trapper.
This animal is perhaps the most
unique creature in North Am
erica. He was conceived in a
moment of confusion (perhaps
during a lightening storm) as
a hybrid cross between an antel
ope and a jack rabbit. The re
sult is a large brown animal with
a rabbit-like body and a very
curious pair of horns perched
on top of his 'harey' head.
Name Translated
"Dr. Edward N. O'Neil, head
of the foreign languages depart
ment of the University of Ore
gon, translates the name given
to the jackalope by the Wyom
ing Wildlife magazine as follows:
Antelo, swept back 'much like
the swept wing Dodge'; capra;
goat; falsus and fallacia, of a de
ceiving appearance; and doug
lasia, referring to Douglas, Wy
oming, where the jackalope was
first reported.
"The jackalope is found main
ly in the eastern part of Wyom
ing where it lives on sagebrush
roots and nativus irgnoramus.
There are reports of many scat
tered sightings in other parts
of the country. The last uncon
firmed report is that unknown
to the Oregon Fish and Game
commission a Medford High Eng
lish teacher has introduced this
'beastie' into Oregon.
"Robert 'Red' Fenwick of the
Denver Post reports that the
jackalope is unlike other ani
mals who prefer to mate by the
light of the full moon. The jack
alope mates only by the glare
of lightening flashes. This seems
to electrify its sense of romance
and shocks it into the realiza
tion that there are boy jackal
opes and girl jackalopes.
"This is just a partial report
on the wild Wyoming jackalope.
If anyone in this area knows
more about this f acinating . ani
mal please contact Mike Travis.
"Remember, jackalopes are
real."

reminded the class to be very
cautious in handling the high

to finish his demonstration, he
reached for a half discharged
Leyden jar and received the
shock of his life.
Still a little unnerved, he gave
the same demonstration during

glass, were being used to pro
duce a small static charge. To
his perplexity, the glass . rod
wasn't working well.
. In the middle of the experi
ment, a student in the front row
asked an unanswerable question.
Johnston, with a dash of dram
atic license added, slammed what
he must have thought was the
rubber rod on the demonstration
table for emphasis.
The glass rod shattered in his
hand.
Looking up sheepishly, he re
marked, "Well, I didn't want it
anyway."
President Travels
At Slower Speed;
Neuberger Pleased
Washington. U.R) President
Eisenhower slowed down Sun
day and critics of his high
speed auto trips cheered.
The President drew caustic
comments over the week end
for his driver's 70-mile-an-hour
speeds en route to his Gettys
burg, Pa., farm Friday.
Takes Back Road
Sunday, Mr. Eisenhower, with
his wife and mother-in-law
along, motored back to the capi
tal at a more leisurely speed.
By-passing Rockville, Md.,
near where newsmen were
flagged down Friday for exceed
ing the speed limit trying to
keep up with the President, the
Chief Executive took a back
route to the White House.
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) who had denounced the
President's speeding as "evident
disregard" for traffic and safety
laws, told the United Press he
was "pleased" that the Presi
dent on his return trip "follow
ed the traffic laws like any good
motorist should."
Must Set Example
Neuberger said the tragic ac
cident toll on the nation's high
ways makes it "imperative" for
"the President of the United
States to set an example for
American motorists."
Mr. Eisenhower has made no
comment on the attacks on his
auto speed.
The President was clocked
Friday at 1 hour and 45 minutes
for the 79-mile trip to his farm.
It took him 2 hours and 27 min
utes Sunday to make the 85-mile
back-road journey.

Four Nebraska
Hunters Provide
Comfort in Lodge
Wood River, Neb. (U.R) Four
Nebraskans have added so many
refinements to duck hunting that
"roughing it" is a meaningless
expression to them.
Wayne Culp, Don and Merwin
Detweilers and Ben Stumpff
built a hunting lodge and a cabin
on the Piatt river near here that
provide more comfort than many
men find in their own living
rooms.
On a towhead in the Piatt,
they have built a one-room cabin
equipped with all the modern
conveniences, including a pri
vate telephone that connects the
adjoining blind with the lodge
on the shore
The cabin is heated withpro
pane gas and is lighted in. the
same manner. It has a refrigera
tion unit for perishable foods,
running water, built-in cabinets
filled with food and -comfortable
furniture.
The shooting gallery adjoins
the cabin to the south. It is three
feet wide and 14 feet long and
can accommodate six hunters
easily.' A four-foot concrete wall
protects the hunters from the
raw south wind.
The Lodge
' The gallery is entered simply
by stepping out of the cabin
door. The hunters can get hot
coffee by reaching into a small
nook in the cabin side which is
enclosed in double doors.
The entire layout is complete
ly camouflaged by a natural
growth of willows and under
brush. The hunters reach the blind
by means of an amphibious ve
hicle equipped with .four B-29
tires which navigates the two-foot-deep
water with ease. The
vehicle is a surplus Army truck.
The lodge on the bank of the
river is even more elaborate
than the one-room dwelling on
the towhead. It is equipped with
four bunk beds with inner spring
mattresses, the latest type re
frigerator, electricity, an electric
stove, running water, plumbing
and a larder which resembles a
small grocery.
