Cureton, an instructor of physical education for men, said the youthful period is over at 14 for boys and 17 for girls, followed by adulthood which is a leveling off period.

PHOENIX COAL Less Than A Bushel Of Ash Per fon At AMERICAN AIRLINES CASE SLATED IN COURT MAY 10 Chicago, Feb. 24 (AP) A circuit court hearing has been scheduled for May 10 on an Amer ican Airlines move to discontinue service from Chicago to Peoria and Springfield.

The hearing date was set Thurs day after Circuit Judge Thomas I E. Kluczynski denied a motion by the cities of Springfield and Peoria to dismiss the airline's suit. New Atlas Starts Flight Cape Canaveral, Feb. 24 (AP) A new. more powerful Atlas missile, seeking an initial success after three failures, blazed away from this test center today on the start of a 7.000-mile test flieht.

Dri the most nowerful set of U. S. rocket angines ever flown, the 82-foot intercontinental range giant rose smoothly from its pad, spewing a brilliant tail of fire as it raced toward a target in the South Atlantic Ocean. The first three missiles in this new Atlas series fizzled in flight shortly after launch, all plunging into the Atlantic several miles off the cape. Any additional failure could delay Air Force plans of having this advanced Atlas combat-ready by late this year.

Three massive engines with a total thrust of 400,000 pounds propel the rocket. This compares with 360,000 pounds for the operational model, presently this nation's most potent military missile. Added thrust and a 15 per cent lighter engine assembly will allow the Convair-made Atlas to carry a larger nuclear warhead, or it will deliver the present warhead to targets up to 10,000 miles away.

'Service u- mnn anoX ft, 92 A 60i: 90 89 grains, Ellender said committee members were sharply divided on! the program. All witnesses and even senators agreed on one point; unless Con gress completes legislation before March 15 it might as well not try. Many Southern farmers already have planted corn, grain sorghums and other livestock feed grains and by mid-March most farmers will have made their planting plans for this year. Freeman has asked authority to boost recent corn supports of $1.06 a bushel to $1.20 next year for feed grain growers who cut planting 20 per cent.
