News in Brief: Hydrofoil On Volga. Russian engineers run a radical craft down the Volga - no doubt startling the legendary boatman. It runs almost completely out of the water, on hydrofoils, at speeds of 50 M.P.H. Big enough to carry 150 passengers, it's a local sensation. Rather large craft travels skimming the surface of the water. View over shoulders of crew.
