Big New Rocket
Engine Revealed
Cape Canaveral, Fla. (UPI)
A half-million to a million
pound thrust rocket engine
which could launch satellites
"in the category of 10 tons" is
being developed by the Gen
eral Electric Co., it was an
nounced here today.
GE said the engine is being
developed at its Evendale,
Ohio, plant and its Malta Test
station. Components for the
engine are presently being
tested, the announcement said.
The engine was described as
of "a very light weight and
radical new design, in com
parison to conventional rocket
engines. . .'
A GE official said the en
gine will weigh approximately
4,000 pounds and will use the
same type of fuel used in the
GE engine that powers the
first stage of the Navy Van
guard satellite rocket.
The Vanguard first-stage en
gine uses kerosene fuel and
liquid oxygen as the oxydizer.
"This rocket engine will be
capable of launching a satel
lite, either manned or un
manned, in the weight cate
gory of 10 tons,", the an
nouncement said.

For Non-Conformity

Conferees Agree
To Repeal Excise
Tax on Freight
Washington (UPI) Senate-House
conferees agreed to
day to repeal the 3 per cent
tax on transportation of
freight, beginning Aug. 1.
But they rejected a Senate
proposal to repeal the 10 per
cent federal tax on airline, bus
and train passenger tickets.
The legislation repealing
freight taxes was almost cer
tain to be sent to President
Eisenhower by Monday. It was
included in a compromise bill
to continue for another year
the present taxes on corpora
tion income and on whiskey,
beer, cigarettes and automo
biles. Other Levies Lifted
In retaining the Senate pro
vision that the freight tax be
repealed, the conferees voted
also to lift the excise levies
on the shipment of coal and
on movement of oil by pipe
line.
The President had request
ed extension of all corporate
and excise taxes to avoid a
revenue loss of $2.5 billion a
year which would otherwise
occur. They are due to expire
Tuesday unless the extension
bill is enacted.
No Cuts in House
The taxes which would be
repealed by the compromise
bill yield an estimated $485
million a year. The levies
amount to 3 per cent on freight
charges, four cents a ton on
coal, and 4J per cent on
charges for transporting oil
by pipeline.
The original Senate bill- re
pealed taxes on both freight
and passenger charges. The
bill as it passed the House car
ried no tax cuts.
Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D.-Va.),
head of the Senate conference
team, said the compromise bill
would be called up on the
Senate floor later today.
House action is scheduled Friday.

On Ocean Currents
Portland (UPI) Ocean
currents rather than river
silt may be the main cause
of shoaling at. the mouth' of

engineers official told the

gineers convention Wednes
day.
John B. Lockett, head of
the special projects investi
gation division of the engin
eers, said it had long been
assumed that shoaling was
caused by river action. But
he said that when work began
on a 48-foot deep channel
studies indicated shoaling was
governed primarily "by forces
associated with density cur
rents and littoral drift."
