For Earth Travel Soon Cincinnati IP General Elec tric engineers predict it will be possible to travel anywhere on earth in less than two hours by rockets 25 years from now. They say rocket-making will become a billion dollrr business by the mid-1960s. The engineers pointed out that rockets rather than jets will be the engine of the future because of their unlimited potential. I Rockets carry their own oxidi- zers to burn with the fuel, mak ing thei.i the only propulsion de vice that can "breathe'' outside the earth's atmosphere, they ex plained. Benson Hamlin. GE manager of marketing-rocket engines at the Evendale plant here, doubted that rockets eventually would be used for fast commuting such as on monorail cars. Their eventual use in possible outer space travel, however, was indicated by his explanation that rockets "operate at their best at extreme speeds out of the atmos phere. That is the most natural application of rocketry." The Spaniards ruled the Phil ippines for 379 years until 1898. People Face Real Shortage of Power, IPC Official Says Boise TP Idaho Power Company President T. E. Roach said today Senate approval of a federal Hells Canyon dam bill brought the people of southern Idaho and eastern Oregon face-to-face with a very real and serious power shortage. Roach made the statement to the Idaho Public Utilities com mission. "Because of our public service obligation and our rcspsonsibil ity to you under regulation," he told the commission, "w'e fee! it imperative that you and our customers be fully aware of the far-reaching consequences . . . in the wake of any interference with our project work." Will Curtail Industry He described the power sup ply situation as "so serious that it transcends all other consider ations." "The shortage will curtail the operation of every industry, ir rigation pumping customer and defense activity and will result in the rationing of available power supply, he said. He said there was no available j source of large blocks of surplus ; power in the Pacific Northwest as a substitute to forestall the ; shortage if the Idaho Power nri jvate projects in the Hells Can ; yon area are not completed on t schedule. The first power units of th : Brownlee project are slated to be in service by the summer of 1958.
