KU students yesterday got a look at one of the most powerful rocket engines in existence today. Developing more than 15,000 pounds thrust, the RL10 rocket engine, manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, powered the second stage of the first two-stage Saturn rocket into orbit. The trailer exhibit, located outside Learned Hall, was sponsored by the KU student branch of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Police phone in sick; First strike since 1919
PONTIAC, Mich. — (UPI) — Pontiac's guardians of law and order today ignored appeals to end a sick-call boycott that threatens to become the nation's first police strike in 47 years.
Bleary-eyed captains, lieutenants and sergeants manned the desks and patrol cars of the Pontiac Police Department for the second straight day.
Sixty-six patrolmen and detectives had called in "sick" on four shifts since Tuesday night.
THE BOYCOTT by members of the Fontiac Police Officers Association apparently was called to force demands for higher pay on the city.
The dispute could blossom into the nation's first police strike since one in 1919, when Boston police refused to work on the
Memorial is victim too
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Legend has it that on Sept. 13, 1899, Henry Bliss, 68, a Wall Street broker, was run over by a peculiar new invention at the corner of 74th Street and 8th Avenue in Manhattan.
The next day in Roosevelt Hospital, the story continues. Bliss achieved the distinction of becoming the first of countless hundreds of thousands of American automobile fatalities. In remembrance, a wreath was placed yesterday at the spot where Bliss was struck.
Within moments, the flowers were crushed under the wheels of a passing car.
LONG STEP
ROCKY FORD, Colo.—(UPI)—K. J. Sinding, 76, probably wishes his bed were on the ground floor. He was treated Tuesday at Pioneer Memorial Hospital here for injuries suffered when he walked in his sleep. He told officials he stepped out of his bedroom window and fell two stories.
grounds their wages were too low. Then Gov. Calvin Coolidge got them back on the job.
Joseph Warren, Pontiac city manager, said the commission had taken no action on the pay raise proposal because the city budget wasn't ready yet.
Warren said the sick calls might not be related to the policemen's wage demands.
"Maybe it's an epidemic," he said.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The government and Borden Foods Co. worked today to assure the removal of a powdered milk product from stores. Some of it is contaminated with a potentially dangerous bacteria.
Officials say Borden's cow gave bad powdered milk
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Borden's Starlac, a product used widely for babies' formulas and as a supplement to milk in large families, contained the bacteria salmonella.
The bacteria can cause gastrointestinal infections which, the FDA said, "can have serious consequences." Generally the effect is ptomaine poisoning. The infections can be fatal to infants and elderly persons.
FDA ANALYSIS of Starlac samples disclosed the contamination and, a spokesman said, an investigation is continuing into the condition of other brands of powdered milk.
Announcement of the contamination came yesterday along with an FDA advisory to mothers and others to stop using Starlae.
Blazes continue; death toll now 14
LOS ANGELES — (UPI)—Four Marine firefighters were killed and one other was burned critically yesterday at Camp Pendleton, pushing the death toll to 14 in a two-day series of southern California brush fires.
The Leathernecks were among 300 enlisted men and 21 civilian firemen who fought five different fires which blackened more than 5,000 acres at the sprawling base near Oceanside.
THE MARINE VICTIMS were members of a staging battalion awaiting transfer to Viet Nam. They were on a ridge overlooking a canyon known as Piedra de Lumbre, or "rock of fire." and were trapped when winds caused a sudden flareup.
