Sky Slated As Big Hot Roi Track EDWARDS AFB, Calif. UP1 The Southern Caliornia-NevadS sky will become tin world's larg- est hot rod track this week when the X15 rocket ship tries to reach its maximum speed, nearly 4,100 miles an hours, or f times the speed of sound. The North American Aviation- built plane with Air Force Maj. Robert M. White at the controls was expected to streak through the sky at 6,000 feet per second. or more than a mile-a-second un til! all its fuel is consumed, or about 82 seconds. The XI5, whose primary objec tive is the exploration of manned hypersonic flights, already holds the world speed and altitude rec ords. White set an altitude mark for manned aircraft Oct. 11 when he piloted the X15 to a height of 217,000 feet. Test pilot Joe Walker of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration reached a speed of 3,920 m.p.h. Oct. 17 in the needle-nosed craft. Walker's speedy record in the black dart, powered with a 57.000 pound thrust engine, found him using brakes on the upper and lower vertical stabilizer to slow down the X15 during re-entry White's flight will be brakeless.

MP) - Ne- nad Popovic, one of Yugoslavia's flop economists, declines to say whether he is in the U.S.A. to stay. But his family is busy get' ting settled buying furniture and meeting the neighbors. Reliable sources in Belgrade re' ported that Popovic, who served as chief of economic affairs in Yugoslavia's Foreign Ministry, had decided against returning to his Communist homeland. Popovic, 52, is a visiting pro fessor at Syracuse University this year, teaching graduate and uiv dergraduate courses in interna tional finance. "He really likes it at the uni versity," Tatyana, his attractive 33-year-old wife said Saturday. "All he wants to de is study and teach. . The family arrived here three weeks ago with "only our ward robe," Mrs. Popovic said. Her mother alsd is here. The mother was washing dishes in the kitchen when a newsman visited the home. Nine-year-old Gina, in blue tights, romped in front of a tele vision set. She was born in Wash ington while Popovic served as executive director of the Interna tional Monetary Fund Jrom 1930 to 1953. Deyan, a husky lad of 12. came in from playing with new-found friends and joined Gina. The family lives in a two-story stucco house they rented from the university for $110 a month. "The neighbors brought gilts when we arrived." Mrs. Popovic said. "They are all so friendly.!' She gathered the family to go shopping. "That's what Americans do on Saturday," she said matter-of-(actly. Popovic was visiting some friends. Engineer's Safefy Mark Shattered By Tragedies STUTTGART, Ark. (UPI) Engineer J. W. Rector, 61, could have made this run through the lush, green Arkansas woodland blindfolded. He knows every crossing, twist and turn. In more than 36 years of rail roading he had never had a fatal accident. Just last week Rector received his 20-year pin from the Cotton Belt Line. In two hours Sunday his irecord for more than three and a half decades of perfect railroading was wiped out not once but twice. Rector was taking the No. 1 Mo tor Special between Jonesboro and Pine Bluff when the train smashed into a pickup truck at a flasher crossing and killed three of the truck's four occupants. A few minutes after the wreck age was cleared, the train killed a mother and child who stumbled onto the tracks into the path of the freight just 18 miles from the scene of the first accident. As Rector neared the crossing at Stuttgart, his hand rested on the whistle cord. He tugged gent ly and escaping steam shrieked its warning, once, twice. Then he yanked the cord frantically. "Good grief," he yelled. He clawed at the emergency brake, but he knew there was nothing he could do. The train plowed broadside into the pickup truck, trapped tne twisted wreckage. underneath and carried it. nearly three-quarters of a mile down the tracks before grinding to a halt. Killed were Elzie Smith, Flave- 4-H NEWS FLYING NEEDLES The Flying Needles Clothing Club held a meeting Oct. S at Ferguson School. We elected offi cers and talked about the next meeting.
