Navy doctors and corpsmen are treating more than 500 civilians a day in forward military Marine areas.

...started our conversation by asking whether he was rooting for the Dodgers or the Twins. He was relieved--glad, it seemed, to talk about something besides politics. "The Twins, of course," he replied. "Why, they're all from Washington. They were there when I was there."

Vertol is designing a tilt-winged aircraft that also lifts off as a copter, with its wings in a vertical position, then speeds forward as the wings are tilted horizontally and propellers take over to pull it along. Hughes's experimental XV-9A shoots hot gases out of rotor-tip vents for increased power. The industry has also developed all-weather instruments, automatic stabilizers, rotor blades that function for longer periods, more efficient...
