rocket plans in his home. The seventh grader sent U.S. Defense
Department scientists plans for a rocket called "The Oracle,"
which could send a monkey into space aboard a satellite bigger
than anything the Russians have sent up. Later versions, he
said could carry a man. The Defense Department said the boy's
plans were logical but present severe engineering problems.

ManuelLuircono riCdelP,I3ez,
called Manolete, is (:onsidt ad, by
many to have bean the greatest
bullfighter of our time, A tall,
thin man with popping eyes and
a large note in, a narrow face, he
exercised in the ring a classic
style so pure that it has never
quite been matched, Never was
it mere apparent than on the
day be died,
In Spain, every detail of that
day—Aug, 29, 1947—has become
part of the legend which has
made the dead matador practi-
cally a god, Although the story
is not so well known in the
United States, it has still had,
plenty of circulation, thanks
largely to the efforts of author-
painter-aficionado Barnaby Con-
rad, A onetime torero himself
(as a Foreign Service Vice Con-
sul in Spain during the early
1940s, he fought more than 3Q
bulls, and once appeared in the
ring with toe great Juan Bel-
morite), Conrad first told the
story in 1052, in a thinly dis-
guised novel, "Matador" Next, in
1956, he rounded up all the avail-
able photographs of Manolete's
last fight, wrote a narrative text,
and created an exciting program
for TV's "Omnibus." Last fall,
the dramatic TV show "Play-
house 90" used Conrad's material
as the starting point for "The
Death of Manolete," their sea-
son's opener.
Conrad's latest re-creation Of
this momentous day is the book,
"The Death. of Manolete," just
published Combining the same
pictures and text (somewhat ex-
panded) used in the ''Omnibus"
'program, the book has a remark-
able cinematic flavor. The story
skims through Manolete's boy-
hood and apprenticeship, and his
rise, before 30, to a wearisome
triumph. It also traces the growth
of Islero, Manolete's last .bull,
and of the matador Luis Miguel.
Dominguin, both of whom were
factors in the tragedy. Domin-
guin, then 'only 21, was the
flashy challenger whose taunts
and popularity forced Manolete
to face him, and to outdo him.
When Islero, a Miura, slammed
into the ring that afternoon in
the Spanish town of Linares, Do-
minguin had made one kill in
spectacular fashion. Manolete,
anxious above all for a brave
bull that would charge straight,
saw with sinking heart his own
animal's tendency to hook to the
right. •
As Manolete worked the bull,
the crowd, capriciously disposed
to favor his young opponent,
gradually began to drop its pre-
judice and roar admiring "Oles."
"Where 'Dominguin had worked
inches away from the bull,"
writes Conrad, "Manolete dealt
in centimeters" Pass alter pass.
the matador "wrapped the ani-
mal . . . completely around his
stationary body," It was perfec-
tion, and so the kill too had to
be perfect. Straight in over the
right horn went Manolete's
sword. Suddenly, however, Is;•
Fero hooked to the right, driv-
ing a horn.deep into the exposed
matador. A few minutes later
the bull died, Manolete died early
the next morning, but only after
being assured that the wild
crowd, had awarded him both
ears and the tail from the dead
bull as a tribute 'to his perfor-
mance. The matador's funeral
was the largest eve- witnessed
in Spain

becomes so charged with elec-

Sometimes, after he has driven
for a long distance blisters app-

are now being made at Canter-

velopment laboratory in attempt
:to insulate Mr. Urlwin.
When /tests were first made
the needle of the voltmeter Was

discovered that' after a short

registered 500 volts.
SEAL KNOT BEFORE

Before painting over a knot,
be sure to till any cavities with
plastic wood or wood putty and
then apply a sealer to the area
to prevent the sap in the knot
from straining the new coating.
This sealer may be a product

By this time everyone feels
like plugging up his ears,
But Keith HincllelifT, UnIvOr^'
sity of Illinois ,extension hous-
ing specialist, says that much
noise can be built "out!' of both
new and remodelled houses.
There are two main ways of',
reducing noise: (1) absorbing
the noise in the surfaces of the
same room and (2) holding the
noise on the other side of the
wall,
In, the first case, absorbing
materials like acoustical tile on
the ceiling are effective in both
new and remodelled houses.
Tiny holes soak up the sound
like a sponge. It's especially use-
ful in holding back sounds made
in midair, such as dish washing
or conversational noise.
To block noise between rooms
or from the outside, you need
a mass such as a masonry wall
or fireplace or you need depth
such as closets full of clothes.
All openings, even cracks, must
be tightly closed. Even hairline
cracks in concrete masonry
walls can allow undesirable
amounts of sound to pass be-
tween rooms.
Sometimes noises can be con-
trolled at the source, for exarh-
ple, by using rugs, rubber cork
tile, or other resilient surfaces
on floors. Outside noises, such
as that from trucks along the
highway, can often be reduced
with trees and shrubs. The ones
closer to the road are more ef-
fective than those close to the
house. Glass is a poor sound' in-
sulator, so picture windows fac-
ing a nearby noisy street or road
are undesirable,
Especially if you're building
a new house, you may find these
next points worth considering.
Even with the best equipment,
bathrooms are noisy. Often it's
practical to build a double wall
for the so-called "wet wall"
where pipes are located. This
has to be thicker than other
walls anyway.

MERRY MENAGERIE
How Can 1?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I make a good ce-
ment for mending broken china?
A. Mix plaster of Paris with
the white of an egg until the
consistency of cream, Apply and
allow to harden before using.
Q. How can I clean shellac
brushes?
A. Clean shellac brushes with
denatured alcohol only. If the
brushes are not carefully clean-
ed, curling and hardening takes
place, a condition that is hard to
remedy.
Q. How can I make a cork fit
the bottle when the cork is just
a trifle too small?
A. Soak the cork for a few
minutes in boiling water and it
will fit.
Q. How can I relieve the bite
or sting of an insect?
A. Try dipping a small piece
of absorbent cotton in peroxide
and binding it to the affected
part.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR
MEN AND WOMEN simply wasn't that big a name
in the National League.
Film directors have cast him
with satisfying results as a
soldier, gangster, marine, and
cowboy, Chuck's latest film, a
western, is one in which every-
one had to be more than six
feet tall — a requirement he
meets easily. He has found movie
people more subtle than ball-
players, who seldom bother to
conceal their opinions.
If a film is to be made on the
life of Ted Williams, Red Sox
outfielder, Connors would like
to play the part. "I know Wil-
liams' mannerisms like a book,"
Connors told reporters during a
recent visit at Boston's Fenway
' Park "I was a left-handed hit-
ter, and I know just how Ted
grips the bat, grimaces, and rubs
his hands on the handle." ,
There is considerable evidence
that Williams, who likes Con-
nors, would agree to the casting.
In the meantime, though, Chuck
is settling for his own television
series with the American Broad-
casting Company, starting some-
time in September. It will be
called simply "The Rifleman."
No doubt Connors will shoot
first and ask questions after-
ward.

New And Safer
Stepladder
At last! A drastic change in
the old-fashioned stepladder.
A modern, four-step step-
ladder of lightweight, alumi-
nized steel has just about every-
thing the housewife has asked
for in terms of security, dura-
bility, ease of handling, and
height.
The fourth step at the top is
actually a safety platform 14
inches deep surmounted by a
curved bar of steel against which
you can lean or brace yourself
for the long reach to high
shelves.
The ladder comes in heights
of 5, 6, and 7 feet. Its steps are
lined with safety treads and it
sits on nonslip rubber feet, The
manufacturer says it will not
slip, tip, or flip over under the
most rigid tests,

Talked Good Game — —
Chuck Connors, former pro-
fessional basketball and big-
league baseball player, is a man
of a million words and is equally
affluent in gestures. Once base-
ball's foremost Thespian he
'traded a rosin bag for a tube of
grease paint, and has appeared
in more than a score of movies,
usually as a heavy,
Boston remembers him as a
centre on the first Celtics team
to represent the. Bay State in the
National Basketball Association.
But it was only a few years ago
that Connors, who is currently
starring with Gregory Peck, Jean
Simmons, Charles Bickford, and
Burl Ives in a western called
"The Big Country," appeared at
first base as a member of the
supporting cast of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, Even then Chuck could,
read lines, and his inability to
hit the curve ball hastened his
arrival as an actor.
Yet, if he earned no special
distinction for ,his hitting, he did
acquire a curious sort of notor-
iety as probably the only man
in baseball ever to be recom-
mended for a 'team by his moth-
er. Mrs.' Connors so pestered a
New .York sports writer with
tales of her son's abilities that
the reporter finally broke, down
and tipped him to the Yankees.
No less important a member
of the New Yorkers than head
scout Paul Krichell was sent to
cast a trained baseball eye at
Chuck, and the next thing' Mrs.
Connors knew was that her son,
with the help of the Yankees,
had enrolled at Seton Hall.
, It was only, a few weeks later
that Connors jolted the Bronx
Bombers' front office by signing
a baseball contract with the
Brooklyn Dodgers, though Kri-
chell had arranged to have the
Yankees pay his college tuition.
Chuck began his professional
acting career by memorizing
"Casey at the Bat"—frequently
turning up as the featured enter-
tainer at sports banquets. By
the time he reached the Dodgers
he had a card that read:
"Kevin (Chuck) Connors, af-
filiate Brooklyn Dodgers Base-
ball Club. Recitations, After-
Dinner Speaker, Home. Record-
ings for Any Occasion, and Free-
Lance Writing,"
Connors has what theater peo-
ple call personality plus. Brook-
lyn baseball writers came to de=
pond on him for quotes. Yet it
seems unlikely that his baseball
reputation had much to do with
his getting into the `movies. He
