j Pipe Dream Comes True
A pipe dream come true! That’s the new lightweight waste
drain and vent system featured in the Seattle World’s Fair
House oi century sl. c
Designed to eliminate metal
lic pipe maintenance and in
stallation problems, the entire
system is constructed of high
strength plastic. The special
pipe—fabricated of the same
“Cycolac” ABS plastic used in
telephones, football helmets and
jet airliner components—is a
development of Marbon Chemi
cal Division of Borg-Warner
Corporation.
Easily cut on the job with a
hand saw or pipe cutter, ABS
pipe sections are assembled with
a custom solvent that elimi
nates welding or threading. The
P4w’i light weight— up to 87%
lower than comparably sized
cast iron pipe — enables this at
tractive model to carry the com
plete Century 21 House plumb
ing tree, when two men would
be needed to lift a metallic in
stallation of equal size.
In keeping with the reduced
maintenance goals set up for
the Fair House, rust-proof plas
tic pipe offers high corrosion
and chemical resistance.
One of many revolutionary
building materials included in
the House of Tomorrow, the fu
turistic new pip*1 meets mini
mum FHA requirements and is
available now.

WASHINGTON •.? In these
vi.i\ s of crisis. 1 'resident Kennedy
is putting in 112 to IT horn dn> ••
at his desk. A telephone is m ver
more than a step or two away.
liven wh.ile he lounges in his
rocker, chatting with visitors, a
telephone dangles from the coffee
table near his hand.
The grave challenges of Cuba
are taking up about 90 per cent
of his time. But those about him
say the President is making his
decisions coolly and calmly.
While the executive mansion
and its staff is geared for crisis, it
isn't quite on a war-time basis.
Tourists still parade through the
White House. But now they have
to check their purses and pack
ages outside.
Pickets are still permitted to
patrol in front of the mansion
and they seldom miss a day. Ban
ners of ban-the-bomb groups are
thi uni in most evidence.
No unusual increase in security
has been ordered. The same num
ber of Seen t Service agents are
still guarding the President and
his family. However, the White
House police have been getting
some overtime and a few metro
politan police are usually stationed
jutside the fence.
The crisis has brought late din
ners. sleeping in hotels and on
cots, and night shifts for some of
the President's aides.
In the basement of the execu
tive wing, the “situation room”—
the nerve center through which
filters secret information from all
around the world—is manned 24
hours a day by Presidential as
sistants.
It has a huge, complex commu
nication system with closed-cir
cuit television, maps and charts.
This situation room is never
unmanned but now key officials
take turns standing watch at night.
The White House press office is
also staffed 24 hours a day. Pierre
Salinger, press secretary, has taken
quarters in a hotel a block away.
His assistants, Andrew Hatcher
and Malcolm Kilduff. spell each
other at spending the night in
Salinger's office equipped with an
army cot.

miles set by Italian flyers in 1954.

Khrushchev S!ili Inlands
To Come to U.S. Says
eturned Businessman
WASHINGTON <;P> An Am
erican businessman who talked to
Premier Khrushchev two days ago
reported today the Soviet leader
aid he still is considering coming
to the United States before the end
of this year.
William E. Knox, president of

his 3'4-hour meeting with Khrush
chev Wednesday.
Knox said he feels Khrushchev
understands the U.S. government’s
seriousness about ending the of
fensive arms buildup in Cuba.
But the industrialist said it is
“difficult to answer" whether he
<Khrushchevi seems willing to pur
sue a reasonable course in the
Cuban affair.
Knox is the only American to
have had a personal discussion
with Khrushchev since President
Kennedy’s Monday night announ
