Fort Wayne Minnesota inmates stirred protests as John Clayton, jailed for nonsupport, carried a gopher. The animal escaped from his pocket and was placed in a pail. Clayton refused transfer to the county jail unless he could take the gopher with him.
The United States Bureau of Standards plans a new radio propagation laboratory on a high site in Boulder Colorado at 6350 feet within the Front Range. Boulder near Denver hosts the University of Colorado and offers altitude advantages for cosmic ray and solar radio studies. The region already includes a cosmic ray station on Mount Evans and the Harvard Colorado university coronagraph at Climax, both illuminating high altitude research opportunities.
The article explains rubber’s elasticity makes a ball regain shape after deformation. When the ball contacts the ground, rubber compresses and stores energy, then elastic forces push it upward. Some energy is lost as heat inside the rubber, so even in a vacuum it cannot rebound to its initial height. Putty is inelastic and does not bounce because it does not return to its original form.
The United Nations Secretariat building on the East River Manhattan between 42nd and 4th Streets rises 39 stories as workers hurry to occupy it before year end. It is described as a “workshop for world peace” with the other three units still to be completed, expected in 1951.
Ralph N Hoar 18, of Du Quoin Illinois, lost a hand when a runaway team threw him into a hay mower five years ago. He won a position with a 150 piece Egyptian music camp band after competing with 26 other trombonists using a special shoulder mechanism and steel hook.
The piece notes Eniwetok Atoll ranking highly among battered Pacific land spots. It cites typhoons, World War II bombardment, and atomic tests shaping its history. Inhabitants were relocated to Uje lang before secret 1948 tests as the atoll became an atomic proving ground and endured extensive destruction.
The Bureau of Agricultural Economics notes a possible leveling off in U.S. cigarette demand after years of growth. In 1949 cigarette use rose by about 3.5 billion, to 352 billion, but per capita supply fell slightly to 2,435 from 2,455 in 1948 due to population gains. The last half of 1949 showed a near stagnation compared with 1948, suggesting the long rise may be moderating.
