Housewives reported they had previously been able to buy a large size can for prices varying from 39 to 49 cents. Today one of the dealers marked his price down two cents. The shelves remained full.
 No Tendency To Hoard
 One dealer who was rushed last week by shoppers asking for toilet tissues today offered to deliver a case to a customer, but he said there were few large buyers. Housewives looked at the heavy supplies, and evidently were no longer interested in storing up,

Los Angeles, Oct. p = (NEA)- Against the day somebody wants to take couple of years off for a round trip to Venus, professor at the University of California is teaching students how to steer a rocket ship into the interstellar spaces.
 The professor, Dr. Samuel Her rick, astronomer and first instruc- tor in the art of rocket navigation, calculates it would take "a few hundred days" for one-way trip to Venus, or two years for a round trip that wouldn't allow any time to see how the other half lives-if anything does live there.
 The business of steering an in- tellar space ship so that it will come within a f9v. '~''0 dre8 '77''3' of its destination, which is what pr. Herrick is teaching It and seniors at the university, is not a simple job of shooting for a star.
 The earth is zooming in a circle around the sun at speed of IS miles a second, and Venus also is racing around in it's own orbit at a similar high speed, moving target which will require a lot of figuring if you are going to hit it at the end of a 700,000,000- mile trip.
 Dr. Herrick calculates a speed of seven miles second is neces- sary for 8 rocket ship to get of the earth and to escape the pull of gravity. He is not concerned with how such a speed is to be obtained, but he feels confident that someday people will be. able to design rocket ships that will gain that momentum.
 So first you plot the angle at which you should leave the earth, remembering that you and your
