Paul Burkholder, 66, who is now at the University of Puerto Rico and works in a laboratory at Mayagüez, also serves as senior marine scientist for Lederle Laboratories. Some of his antibacterial finds have come from sponges collected from as far away as Australia's Great Barrier Reef and Palau in the Caroline Islands. When he arrived in Rhode Island last week, he had scarcely dried off from a scuba-diving, sponge-hunting expedition on the outermost edge of the Caribbean, between the British islands of Virgin Gorda and Anegada.

...added 35 planes to its fleet, and it blames the delay in the CAB ruling for 31% of the line's $5,100,000 loss during the first five months of 1969.
