Model of huge transport unveiled
BURBANK, Calif.—(UPI)—The first fullscale U.S. mockup or model of a Supersonic Transport (SST) was unveiled yesterday by the Lockheed-California Co.
The giant model—almost as long as a football field—was constructed as an engineering tool to aid in continuing design refinements. More than half an acre of plywood went into its construction.
The mockup also has thousands of feet of electrical wiring, a complete air-conditioning system—retractable landing gear, and access hatches for continuing studies of maintenance requirements and cargo and passenger handling.
The plane is designed to carry 266 passengers.
When the Lockheed 2000 SST—as it is called—is produced by
1970, it is expected to compete for air supremacy with the Concorde, a joint production of Britain and France.

'Virginia Woolf' a searing movie
By Vernon Scott UPI Hollywood Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD—(UPI)—Hollywood has never made a movie even faintly resembling "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," and it may never film another.
Still, "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?" is a motion picture milestone. It breaks new celluloid ground.
The most publicized element of the picture has been the vulgarity and profanity in the dialogue. But it is the least shocking facet of Edward Albee's wracking little drama.
THE LANGUAGE, in fact, comes almost as a freshing oasis in a morass of degradation. It at least provides the audience with a bridge to reality in an almost unbelievable relationship between two morally bankrupt principals.
The story by now is well known, but only insensible persons will leave theatres without being deeply disturbed.
ONE HAS THE uncomfortable feeling he has been key-hole peeping into the lives of the leading characters, a demeaning experience at best.
If nothing else, it is a strong argument for the institution of divorce and sobriety. But as a social comment it is so far out as to be almost surrealistic.
Whether it will be a boxoffice success is moot. Word of mouth reaction may have a backlash effect. It is not the sort of picture the average moviegoer will chronicle to his friends as an evening of fine entertainment.
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton will surely be nominated for Academy Awards. Burton
gives a particularly brilliant performance. Miss Taylor, a bit unbelievable in a few scenes, gives the best performance of her career.
3:58.6 mile is run by Ryun
KU frosh sensation Jim Ryun has run his ninth sub-4-minute mile. He did it in 3:58.6 at the National AAU track and field championships held in New York Sunday.
The New York crowd of 16,500 saw that state's first sub-4-minute mile completed with Ryun pouring on a .52.6 burst in the final quarter. Finishing second behind Ryun was Dyrol Burleson, 26-year-old 3-time former winner with a time of 4:00.0. Third was Jim Grelle, another ex-champion, at 4:00.6, and fourth went to John Camien, a former Emporia State runner, finishing with 4:01.6.
IT WAS A CLOSE race through the first three quarters of the contest, with the time at that point for Ryun and Grelle at 3:06.0. It was quite apparent at this stage that Ryun would not run one of his quality miles, but will still be fast.
As that all-important final quarter came around, the tall Jayhawker turned on the gas. His first three quarter times were 639. 620, and 601.
Ryun had met both of this race's major competitors before. Burleson held a 4-0 record over Ryun's before Sunday's race, and last year Ryun set a meet record for the championships by edging out Grelle in 3:55.3.
