"At Dubni, we saw the Synchro Phaselron Accelerator at the Russian Atomic Energy Research Institute," he reported. "It's a short distance outside Moscow, and is regarded as the world's larjcst. Similarly, the Radio Telescope Observatory at Pulhova has' the world's largest reflector, measuring 500 feet across." Throughout Bis visits, Schulz reported, the Soviets asked' for wider opportunities to visit American factories which make peacetime products at high production rates. Schulz joined Sylvania' in 'March of this year after having served for three years as manager, Microwave and Industrial Products for Motorola Inc.

Sales this year are reported in all 48 states. Greatest sales growth has been in the midlands. They nave invaded the home stale of the American auto. The British Automobile Manufacturers Assn. says sales of English cars in Michigan in the first four months" of 1957 jumped 543 per cent over the same period of 956, boosting Michigan from 14th place among the states to fourth.

Dealers say appeal of the foreign car lies with: 1. The economy minded, especially those wanting a second car and this is particularly true among young people with limited incomes but less limited families. 2. The sports minded and this has led to a marked increase in amateur sports car races, some drawing cards up lo 60,000. 3.

The prestige who shell out $12,500 or more for a luxury chariot. 4. The tourist, who can order a foreign car here, lake delivery in Europe, ar.d still bring it back at a saving ever the retail price here, despite paying shipping charges and .10 per cent S. customs duty. The economy models, $1700 or less, were sold here last year by sbi Europe manufacturers.

Now there are 16 in the field. They ship from England. France. Germany. Italy, Sweden and Czechoslovakia.

They expect to bring in about 125 million dollars worth of cars and parts this year. Ettropc has been speeding production lo capture these coveted dollars, 'inspired by the spiraling sales of 'the Volkswagen.

Garvin as. vice president and general manager of their West Coast operations.

The San plant established in 1931 serves the eleven Western States, Alaska. Hawaii and' the Pliilippincs. Having already expanded several plans are now under consideration for further increasing of their facilities and a San Ma teo county site is contemplated. Garvin who holds a professional engineers' and surveyors' license was graduated from Ohio State "University in Civil Engineering in 1933. He and his wife Roberta reside at 275 Greenfiled avenue, Sari Staff, when missile engineers complained of the "mile long steering Hall's staff began a two ycar long scries of psychological studies, and designing testing, and refining the control station.

"In building the r.ew command station." said Hall, "we tried to evaluate the man who flies the bird just as we would any other vita! part of ttio system determining how he can most easily receive information and how he can best act upon it." Hall said thul. since the 7 is so fast it cannot be visually follow nd liom the ground and quickly outdistance; any jet chase plane, the land locked pilot needs a massive flow of information from radio telemetering and radar tracking. 'The new station accomplishes this very well," he said. "With only 13 instruments, we supply almost 100 pieces' of information to the controller and his assis tants." He explained that, although the bird flies over an outsized range so that control lag constitutes no danger of mishap, it Is important lor test purposes to fly the precise cdutscs the new console will pcr The readability of the various display instruments was evaluated during the panel's development by Lockheed experimental SwilTcrlnnd.

Y. Utilities By ELMER C. WAlZER United Press Financial Editor vpw vrvRK iUPl A heat wave in the New York area has conjured up new problems of migration' from the big city to the suburbs, and stirred up new arguments against municipal control of utilities. The hot weather with its rising ol water hit one community hard. 11 was northeast Yonkers where scarcely a trickle came out of the faucets because the lower areas of city used tons oE water tor sprinkling.

It seems that this section of the ll nclijtrs Xr.v tl'A north had a big home building drive over the past 10 years. So many Jiomcs were built that the old water facilities proved inade quate, Wall Strenlerv riiseussinu that I nhase. hold that mi onlv wav the residents will get adequate water in the foreseeable future is to lurn over that utility to private industry which plans many years ahead and has facilities ready when they are needed. Just about Hie time ih'at those arguments for privately uwncd water service were at their height in" the financial district, the heat caused some power difficulties in the area around the Stock Ex change. Air conditioning was hit in some buildings to the discomfort of the tenants.

The Stock Exchange's air conditioning system, oldest in town, worked fine through it all. When the power company had to clip down its voltage, there were loud screams from the pro ponents of public power. "See what we you." tbey shouted. "The private utilities aren't one whit better than Ihc municipal plants." Just about the time the private utility side was ready to pull in its horns, Consolidated Edison Company was in f.tll swing to lick the situation. A few hours after the first dip in power, power was racing over tli grid system id New York with companies as far distant as Ni a.rtara Moha participating.

The power shortnga was knocked out in a' twinkling and the public power boys stopped yelling.
