One of the difficulties in Newyork is that ecumenical development had not been sufficient so that there could be continued conversation while in conflict said the Rev. Robert c. Dodds the National Council s ecumenical officer. We Are trying to see what Pecan learn from the new York situation he said since the same sort of problem is going to arise in other  National Council a cooperative body of most major pro Testant and orthodox denominations has not taken sides inner York.

Up photo leads cars through tunnels watch out for the Rabbit Washington up watch out for the Rabbit Jack. The Rabbit in this Case is a electronic one designed to guide automobile Drivers through darkened tunnels a place where they tend to slow Dow because the Walls of the Tunnel Rushing past makes the Driver feel he is going faster than he really is. The brainchild of Westing House scientist j. W. Wigert the traffic Rabbit would work this Way the Tunnel and the approach to the Tunnel would be lined with rows of lights spaced up personal income Best in Kuwait to three feet apart. This would give the Driver the appearance of a single Light always moving just ahead of his car similar to a mechanical Rabbit leading dogs at a race track. The lights would be tied to computer and if a car broke Down or the Driver put on the brakes the system would de by William n. Oatis United nations a anew . Statistical table shows that tiny Kuwait has More Money coming in per person than the United states which Ismore than 623 times its size. The table published in . Monthly bulletin of statistics gives per capita National incomes As $3,184 for citizens of Kuwait and $2,893 for . Citi Zens in 1965, the last year it reports on. Broadly speaking National income is figured by add ing up All the Money anybody inthe country makes in any legitimate Way. National income per capita is figured by taking the total and dividing by the Popula Tion. Kuwait actually had a much smaller National income than the United states in 1965 $1,487,000,000 compared with $562,938,000,000.

Westinghouse research scientist said the computer could be programmed to figure out the bes Speed and distance for each car in the Tunnel. The compute would then calculate whether each car should be driven faster or slower and would change the Speed of the lights accordingly. Federowicz said that Driver can respond quicker to a Light than to changes in the Speed of the car in front the Only guide he now has. But the traffic Rabbit is Only the beginning according to Federowicz. He said the idea could be a step toward completely automated highways when cars May be driven by electronic Sig nals from transmitters buried under the Road. The a Najj pipes european edition col.
