car hit a rock in the road and
plunged into the rivr.
The car went down 45-foot
embankment and came to rest
just a short distance from where
the river dropped steeply into
dcpthi that were well over the
top of the car. Brown said.
Mrs. Howell managed to free
herself and her son and climbed
to the top of the bank, where
passerby held the baby and she
returned to help her husband
free Mike.
All four persons escaped with
minor bruises. The water, which
was at seat level when Mr. How

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.

Swedish Tasle in Plays
Similar to Broadway
Gothenburg TP Theatrical
taste in this seaport on Sweden's
west coast is about the same as
that in New York, in the opinion
of the State Theater.
In the season just ended, the
theater had 76 performances of
Tennesspp Williams' "Cat On A
; Hot Tin Roof" and 60 perform
ances ol ine liary oi Annt
Frank." Another popular pro
duction was "Oh, Men, Oh, Wo
men." The State Theater has a me
chanical stage that can move
entire sets intact into the wings
or down into the t h r e e-story
basement below the stake. Its
60-foot turntable is divided into
sections, each of which is the
platform of an elevator that can
be lowered into the basement.
About two-thirds of the in
come of the State Theater is rec
eived from the box office, and
the balance is made up by the
government. The theater has a
permanent company of about 50
players and. with its mechanized
stage, gets along with only seven
stagehands.
