New Engine
Reported
By Scientists
. CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP)-Scl-
eiiusis nave run an ion engine
. long enough to consider it a pretty
dependable way of getting space
rockets tip to speeds like 100,000
m.p.h.
That is a good space pace, es
peciany considering that an ion
. engine has less push than the muf
fled echo of a butterfly's sigh.
An ion is an atom that has lost
or gained one or more electrons,
- thereby becoming positive or neg
' ative, like profit and loss. Both
kinds of ions can be made to go
faster than money.
Ion fans and scientists will be
Interested in knowing that a test
engine has been run for a total of
SO hours at the Lewis Laboratory
of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
Scientist Howard J. Childs says
this is an encouraging sign that
ion engines can be depended upon.
He also says this model is 5
to 58 per cent efficient. It is hoped
that later models can be 80 or 90
per cent efficient.
People who are not Ion fans or
scientists might think that an en
gine with no more kick than a
passing thought, yet capable of
100,000 m.p.h. on the speedometer,
would be slicker than anything De
troit can turn out.
But the hot-rodders may as well
relax and go back to their internal
combustion engines. Ion engines
have their drawbacks.
For one thing, the current model
oses liquid cesium at $600 to
tl.OOO a pound in a chemical re
action with tungsten to produce a
stream of ions. It is the jet stream
of ions that propels the vehicle.
There is an even bigger catch.
Ion streams won't work in an at
mosphere. Too much resistance.
That means you have to get your
Ion buggy up into orbit. And or
bits require a launching pad and
tons of chemical rocket fuel.

CG, Uncle Sam Aid Solons To Open Alaska Meeting
ANNETTE ISLAND. Alaska
(API The Slate Legislature is
going to get going on schedule in
Juneau Monday, but it is only be
cause Uncle Sam and his Coast
Guard lent a hand.
There was a question as to
whether the Legislature was go
ing to open on time. Fog, thick
swirling, impenetrable fog
wrapped itself around Juneau, the
slate capital, Monday, then stub
bornly refused to steal away.
Travel in and out of Juneau, ex
cept for a couple ot wave-skipping
seaplanes, has been slopped cold.
There have been no large com
mercial airliner lakeoffs or land
ings at Juneau since Monday.
There is no passenger boat serv
ice to Juneau. Juneau cannot be
reached by road without ferrying
Some of the legislators have
flown as much as 5,000 miles
since Monday aboard planes which
have probed the Juneau fog bank,
trying unsuccessfully to find a
clear path lo the capital city's air
field.
They've been to Anchorage, In
Fairbanks, to Seattle and to White-
horse, Y.T., and back back to
Annette Island and the one-story,
dormitory-like building that has
become a second home.
Twenty-seven legislators have
been stuck here, along with -93
other airline passengers, including
legislative employes. At first they
found the experience amusing.
Then, pinochle, poker, chess,
checkers, reading, story-spinning
and snoozing began to wear thin.
The lawmakers appealed lo Gov.
William A. Egan for help. Egan
looked at the forecast Thursday
night at least four more days
of fog for Ihe capital and asked
the Coast Guard for aid.
Most of the legislators left here
for Juneau Thursday night aboard
Ihe Coast Guard cutter Balsam.
The rest of the lawmakers will
try to get to Juneau via seaplane.
The others stranded here will just
have to wait out the fog.
The whole experience has been
deeply satisfying to Slate Rep.
Earl Hillslrand of Anchorage.
Ilillstrand is chairman of the
Anchorage Capitol Site Steering
Committee, a group seeking :to
move the capitol from Juneau to
the Anchorage area, with one of
the main arguments being that
Juneau is loo inaccessible to most
of the stale.
"I don't think I have to empha
size the issue," Hillslrand said.
"Everyone appears to be doing a
good job of talking it up right
now."
FIRST FLAG FLYER
Captain Robert Gray, Triverton,
