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

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."

Almost everything you eat, wear or use, is
part of a rail shipment at some point along
the line. If it's to or from the West chances
are that Union Pacific helps carry it.
Over Union Pacific, automatic controls
clear the way for trains to operate with hardly
a halt all the way. U.P.'s shipping experts
use electronic data processing and
communications, including direct dial and
microwave, to keep tab on each shipment.
Latest type devices protect freight, provide
faster handling.
Giant U.P. power units speed trains across
the West. Strategic classification yards
regroup cars Into new trains, often in a
matter of minutes. Throughout the West
advanced railroading on Union Pacific is
taking freight surely and efficiently to
destinations, the automated rail way.
