...Grant Sharp Jr., the U.S. commander in the Pacific, has suggested that the Seventh Fleet might help Saigon's force of 800 junks patrol coastal waters for infiltrators. A squadron of torpedo boats is on hand at Subic Bay in the Philippines for that purpose. The attack carrier Midway may soon leave the West Coast for the South China Sea, either to relieve one of the three carriers now on duty or to reinforce those already there. In the air, the U.S. has ticketed North Vietnamese targets up to Hanoi and beyond for destruction if necessary. All last week...
...very well might have been, but seven U.S. Navy Skyraiders from a nearby Seventh Fleet carrier suddenly swooped in almost low enough to get their bellies wet, buzzed the Red vessels. Meanwhile, an amphibious Air Force HU-16 "Albatross" that had been circling off Quangkhe in case of just such an emergency, zeroed in on a radio homing beacon built into Cullen's life belt and sighted a brilliant orange marker dye that the downed pilot had released into the water. Defying 5-ft. waves, the Albatross set down without mishap in the choppy gulf, taxied up to Cullen...
...Viet Nam are mounted. At week's end, Viet Cong main-force units attacked in strength just 40 miles southwest of Danang, pinning down three battalions of South Vietnamese and killing a regimental commander. He and five aides were found burned to death in an ambushed armored personnel carrier...
Production Up. Since it was founded by the late Dr. Willis H. Carrier, the inventor who first successfully united cooling with humidity control, Carrier Corp. has air-conditioned the Navy's atomic submarines, the complex of buildings at New York's Kennedy Airport, even a South American anthill imported for research purposes by the University of Chicago. Its most difficult job was jet aircraft; with the aid of watchmakers, Carrier built a 300-lb. miniaturized system that does the work of equipment normally weighing 5,000 Ibs. Carrier's largest assignment is the Albany South mall...
...Carrier's greatest sales, however, will continue to come from ordinary installations. Five years ago, one new house in nine was fully air conditioned; today the ratio is one in four, and U.S. home air-conditioning sales this year will reach a record $1.2 billion. Meanwhile, $1.15 billion worth of commercial air conditioning will be installed. Studies show that factory output rises with air conditioning; one-third of all industrial plants built in the last five years have been air conditioned. Since air conditioners now cool, heat, control humidity, eliminate dust and reduce noise, even 50% of the school...
