A MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dforJ, Or. 4 B Thursday, Oct. 8, 1 959 Earlier Language Teaching Urged Chicago - (UPD - Many school officials would like to see earlier foreign language lit struction for American young sters, says the magazine, "Na tion's Schools." . Seven of every ten adminis trators queried advocated teaching a second language on elementary s c h o o 1 level, though most felt it should be optional throughout both ele mentary and secondary schools. A majority thought the courses should start in the fourth grade, and 98 per cent gave their vote to two to four years of language study in high school. One official, the magazine said, voted for progress to ward a universal language "that will have some benefit worldwide. "One foreign language is no good," he said, "if when you travel 200 miles, you find yourself in another country." Preferred languages were Spanish (34 per cent) and French (22 ger cent.) STOCKPILE REDUCED Washington (UPD - Some of the items in the government's .1 billion stockpile of stra tegic materials recently de clared unessential and to be disposed of are: 18 million carats of saphires and rubies, 12 milgon ounces of quinine, 51,000 pounds of poppy seeds and nearly 2 million pounds of hog bristles. Tests on Aluminum Rockets Upsets Old Notion of Strength Los Angeles (Science Serv-ice)-Tests on rocket engine cases made of aluminum have upset an earlier notion that aluminum is "too weak" to contain the riot of forces in a solid-propellant rocket mo tor. The year-long tests, con ducted by the Aluminum Company of America jointly with a major propellant man ufacturer, showed that alum inum is actually " stronger than steel on a weight basis. In addition, aluminum prov ed to have a "volumetric ex pansion" of five per cent, meaning that under severe stresses an aluminum engine case could "give" five per cent without exploding. Excellent Indication "This is an excellent in dication of the reliability of aluminum case s," W. C. Woodward, manager of air craft and missile sales said. "Testing has been limited but highly successful, and we feel certain that aluminum cases soon will be classed as pro duction items." One such case, 12 inches in diameter and 45 inches long, now is on display at the So ciety of Automotive Engineers National Aeronautic meeting here., ., Aluminum already is used to line the fuel tanks of some rocket motors, chiefly those of liquid-fueled rockets such as the Titan, Jupiter and Thor. In liquid-fueled rockets, the fuel burn-rate can be con trolled and the nozzle ab sorbs most of the stresses of combustion. In contrast, solid fuel is packed into a container which must be strong enough to handle all forces generated as the fuel burns freely with in it. Economic Promise The new findings, believed to hold economic promise, may lead to use, of aluminum in big rocket motors now un der development. Some of these are expected to demand metal , strengths higher than those now commercially avail able in steels. Metallurgists long have known the tensile strengths of sheet aluminum, but it was found that classical figures "did not exactly apply" to aluminum after it was fab-i ricated into rocket - engine cases. The changes ' in the metal's performance were linked with more-complex j patterns of circumferential j and longitudial stresses, as opposed to a simple tensile stress. PER CAPITA INCOME RISE New, York (UPD - Per capita income in the United States rose to $2,057 last year from $1,491 in 1950, the National Industrial Conference Board reported. Connecticut led the nation with a per capita in come of $2,817. New Mexico showed the sharpest jump be tween 1950 and 1958 - about 58 per cent to $1,838. e JT' and 6 SEGO coupons m "v For lighter, quicker cooking just try this handy 8" Mirro saute' pan.
