World Land Speed Record Planned This Fall With
 ROcket-POWered Race Car

OAKLAND, Calf. LR - An as- sualt on the world land speed record is planned this fall in small rocket-powered race car.
 Romeo Palamides of Oakland, who is building the car that needs wings to keep it on the ground, says, "I'm kind of scared of this one. I'm going to ease into it. This is controlled explosion, pro- jectile on wheels"
 He calls the new project Mach l." the scientific designation of the speed of sound - about 760 miles an hour, compared with the pre- sent land record of 403.135.
 The engine for Mach l is out of surplus space rocket and the car is expected to weigh about 800 pounds. The wings will be short 15-inch stablizers on each side of thin, needle-shaped titanium nose cone. They're designed to produce negative lift, forcing the vehicle to hug the ground.
 Palamides last fall built a jet powered racer in which Glenn Leasher of San Mateo, Calif., was killed when it Tipped during test run at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Palamides believes the crash | followed a tire-wheel failure. Bob Smith, 25, of Santa Clara, Calif, will handle the rocket car when it is completed. Smith will wear a gravity suit, ride in a con- tour fitted compartment and use an oxygen mask.
 The rocket vehicle, using liquid oxygen and kerosene for fuel, will undergo static tests late this spring in a Southern California desert area and initial acceleration tests are planned at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii.
 Palamides says the rocket engine is of type used in governmental rocket programs five or six years ago.
 Attaining the speed of sound on land may seem like a futile goal" he admits, 'but so was the idea of sending rockets into space a few years ago.

wrote in letter to the Rev. Ezra Stiles: II believe
in one God, Creator of the universe. That he gov
