Pueblo's unprepossessing, 179-ft.-long hull is fitted out with the latest in sophisticated ELINT equipment-globe-girdling single-side-band radio, hyperaccurate radars, sonars and navigation instruments. Another primary aim of the "spook ships"-espionage satellites like Samos and spy planes like the U-2 -is to be "painted" or "illuminated" by enemy radar, whose beams fall on the ship's sensitive receivers.

The Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, among others, have opened sales offices in the Far East. The Pennsy, in turn, has opened offices in seven European cities. The aim is to build up a business in containerized shipments that can be handled by rail after they are unloaded from ships. The U.S. railroads are pushing to establish a "land bridge" service by which freight bound between the Far East and Europe would travel by ship to the U.S., go by rail across the country...
