C.—The Pacific Coast Conference slapped fines up to $1,550 on eight of its nine mem ber schools Tuesday and tightened the strings on alumni and booster clubs. Washington State College was the only school given a clean bill of health. California drew the top fine of $1,550 and beleaguered UCLA and Washington did not escape. Already hit with a financial de duction of close to $95,000, the Uni versity of California at Los An geles drew an additional fine of $350. Washington, which stands to lose $52,000 in Rose Bowl money while on two-year probation, has to dig up $250 for minor violations under today’s ruling. These fines all were in the nor mal line of conference business for the spring meeting. There was nothing in the line of the probation actions which marked previous con ference sessions this month. | Sport Shorts By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BROOKLYN — Home runs by Johnny Logan, Ed Mathews and Hank Aaron, who glso banged a double and two singles in a 13-hit barrage, powered the National League-leading Milwaukee Braves to a 7-3 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers tonight. ★ ★ ★ CLEVELAND—Tom Brewer, Boston Red Sox right-hander, pitched his sixth straight victory' over the Cleveland Indians last night, beating them 5-3 with the aid of a two-run homer by Billy Goodman, his first in 184 games.

I Whafs doing at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Today’s leadership ... a reflection of policies established in aviation’s infancy Back in The Roaring Twenties, the magic dream pictured Ameri can families someday using the light personal airplane as freely as the family car. Among the realists, however, was a handful of men who were unshakable in their conviction that the real future of aviation lay with bigger aircraft, higher speeds, greater ranges — all possible only through engines of higher power and more relia bility than those of that era. In the spring of 1925, six of these men of vision founded a company in Hartford to undertake the development of a new air craft engine—an air-cooled type. The year's end heralded their first success — Pratt & Whitney Aircraft's "Wasp” This talented group of men continued to improve their power- plant designs, developing engines of steadily mounting power that operated efficiently and dependably. They contributed much to aviation’s progress — so much so that currently three-quarters of the world's commercial airliners and many of our nation’s first line military aircraft are P & W A-powered. Today’s P &: W A powerplant designs are supported by the very finest research facilities and equipment, and a technical staff that is continually being strengthened. That nucleus of six men has grown into one of the world’s leading engineering organizations. Yet to this very day, engineering achievement at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft is guided by its founders’ simple policy . . . the best air planes can be designed only around the best engines. World’s foremost designer and builder of aircraft engines RRATT & WHITNEY DIVISION OF UNITED AIRCRAFT CORPORATION EAST HARTFORD S, CONNECTICUT The Original Wasp, the first P & W A engine — designed, fabricated and assembled in less than seven months. Weigh ing under 650 pounds and officially rated at 410 horse power, this lightweight, air-cooled radial engine was a milestone in aviation history and set the pattern for almost three decades of record-breaking advances. The Double Wasp, an 18-cylinder, two-row piston engine rated at 2400 horsepower for basic use. Its rating increased by water injection to 3400 horsepower, the Double Wasp was instrumental in turning many a military crisis^ into an aerial victory in the decisive battles of World War II. The Wasp Major, a 28-cylinder engine with pistons arranged in four rows of seven each and a 3HOO-horsepowcr rating. Its power and performance having never been equalled, the Wasp Major represents the apex of the art of building reciprocating engines. The J-57 Turbojet, first jet engine in history to be officially rated in the 10,000-pound-thrust class. In quantity produc tion since early 1953, the J-57 has continuously undergone progressive development. It gives every indication of having almost unlimited growth possibilities. The Engines Of Tomorrow, advanced jet, rurhopiop, and nucle.tr. Already in various stages of development, these aitira.t engines of the future will further contribute to the long history of leadership that Pratt & W hitney Aircraft has established in the field of aviation.
