Derby rules prohibit pi lots from accepting help in dis embarking from their planes. So the frustrated Irene kept her seat until another Powder Puff er came over and released her from the craft.

CALIFORNIA-PACIFIC UTILITIES COMPANY The official Communist Party newspaper Pravda said a "wave of popular wrath against the an ti-party group of Molotov, Mai enkov and Kaganovitch has been sweeping the U.S.S.R. Full Military Backing The shakeup, directed by Com munist Party Secretary Nikita S. Khrushchev, has received the full backing of Soviet Defense Minister Marshall Georgi Zhu- kov. Unofficial public accusations against the trio already have gone far beyond the official at tacks on them. The strongest official blast blast came from the armed for ces newspaper Red Star which accused the Molotov group of "conspiring" to "remove the elected leaders" of the Commu nist Party. This in itself went way beyond the previous accu sations of "dogmatism" and "factionalism." Public speakers at thousands of mass rallies throughout Rus sia went even further. They de nounced the trio for "vanity," "lust for power" and of "dirty sabotage. Trio Out of Sight There has been no official word on the whereabouts of Mol otov, Malenkov or Kaganovich Ingrid Rushes (o Side of Daughter Rome (IT) Actress Ingrid Bergman rushed home to Rome Saturday for the first time in 10 months to the bedside of a sick child and announced she would resume housekeeping with her husband, Roberto Rossellini, next month.

Vealher Scientists Say Tornado Storms Generate Signals Washington fin Weather scientists reported Saturday that tornado-spawning storms gen erate warning signals that may help man to forcast them better. These signals, the American Meteorological society said, "should be of assistance in the preparation of short-range warn ings of developing storms." Forecasts with present meth od seldom pinpoint tornadoes and are considered successful if they are verified about half the time by actual occurrence of a tornado somewhere in the area covered. ' Forecast Area The forecast area usually cov ers about 30,000 square miles whereas the area of destruction from a single tornado seldom is greater than 10 square miles. The new technique makes use of the fact that each tornadic storm produces an elecrical dis charge. This electrical activity seems to reach a maximum be fore the tornado emerges. Meas urement of the frequency of dis charges gives a rough gauge of the storms intensity. Three or more stations, aided by radar tracking, could locate the tornado's parent storm and give the forcaster better ad vance indications of its course than he now has. Greater Potential Voltage in Battery Chicago I1B Develop ment of a new battery with 63 times greater potential voltage and 10 times the storage life of an ordinary flashlight cell was described at the Electronic Com ponents Symposium here by Burton F. Wagner of the Gener al Electric company, Auburn. N.Y. Wagner said the new "solid electrolyte" battery, about the size of an ordinary flashlight cell, is but the forerunner of. an entire family of batteries of the future. He predicted It would prove useful in "one-shot" devices where needed energy is stored in a capacitor and wnere long periods of disuse require a source having long storage life Half of America's automobiles are concentrated in nine states.
