Turbine-Powered Car Faces Driving Tests During Year JERSEY cnv. N.J. L'PI Chrysler Corp. ushered the jet ase into the automotive industry today with the introduction of it's lone-awaited turbine powered car at Roosevelt Raceway. The car. which will be tested by some 200 motorists during the next year, is a sleek four seater styled by Chia of Italy. Chrysler thinks it might hold the key to one of the richest caches of the automotive future. The turbine is the result of years of planning and research by Chrysler enfiinccrs. Both Ford and General Motors have been Reds Refuse TV Viewing Of Flight LONDON (UPli-The Soviet Un ion today declined an offer to join a European television hookup which officials hope will allow 40 million viewers to watch astronaut L. Gordon Cooper's flight. Plans called for the launching to be beamed to Europe from the Telstar satellite and then relayed by land lines. Four Communist bloc nations Poland. Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and East Germany were connect ed to the network, which extends from Spain to Finland in Western Europe. Officials said they were picking up the telecast for record ing purposes. There was no indi cation of what use they planned to make of the tape. There was no official explana tion for the Soviet refusal to take part in the telecast, but in the past the Russians have played down U.S. space achievements and emphasized their own. The first Soviet mention of Cooper's flight was made Monday by Tass. the official news agency. It took pains to point out his scheduled 22 orbits were far few er than the 64 orbits made last August by Soviet astronaut Andri an Nikolayev. Britain. France, West Germany, Norway, Spain. Sweden. Switzer land, Finland. Denmark, and The Netherlands were participating in the television hookup. The total audience w-as estimated conserva tively at 40 million. working on turbine-engined vehi cles for some time and Ford plans to introduce a turbine-powered truck this month. However. Ford admits the truck is at least eight vears away from mass pro duction. Car A Week Beginning this fall. Chrysler will turn out a car a week for the market. Ultimately, 50 tur and distributed. Chrysler said 200 motorists would be selected to drive the turbine cars. The method of se lection has not been determined, a Chrvsler spokesman said, but each motorist will drive one of the cars on a no-charge basis for about three months. Chrysler said 4.000 orders from would-be purchasers have been received but none will be honored. "The objective of this phase of our turbine program is to obtain a broad-based consumer evalua tion of turbine passenger cars through actual use by a variety of typical motorists under normal Idriving conditions," Chrysler Vice President RoK'rt Anderson said. Chrysler said its new turbine delivers about 130 horsepower, which the company said would equal a standard engine of more than 200 horsepower. The engine weighs alwut 400 pounds, about one-half as much as the stand ard VS. Slow On Acceleration Because of the reduction in the weight of the engine, Chrysler has been able to build a personal sports car in the 3,000-pound class. That gives it a favorable power-to-weight ratio. The disadvantages of the tur bine engine are that it is slow on acceleration and hard on fuel. For that reason. Ford and Gen eral Motors have seen it as a truck powerplant. Also the engine emits a high-pitched whine, much like a jet engine. Chrysler engi neers said they could cure the noise problem but have decided to leave it in as a "status sym bol." Relief Near For Needy Political War Victims Pair Back Integration BIRMINGHAM, Ala.
