...Corp. (holding company for the system) announced the purchase of practically all of Cuba's air transport industry, the 14 airports, eleven planes, 850 miles of route, of Campania Nacional Cubana de Aviation, S. A. Though Compania Nacional will be operated as an independent unit, its personnel kept intact (largely as balm to Cuban national feeling), it will be coordinated with Pan American's three trunk lines. North-bound passengers from Barranquilla and Jamaica can change at Cienfuegos to plane instead of train for Havana...
Another crew has been added to the lightweight squad, while the original three heavyweight shells have remained practically intact except for minor seat changes within the boats.

Coaching has been in the hands of one man and his part time assistant; second and third crews have received little attention; due to indifference and lack of organization seatings have seldom remained intact more than a week. The Eliot House plan will help to remove these discouraging handicaps. If crews are coached by one man and able to maintain a reasonable permanence in their personnel, a valuable esprit de corps will appear. The new plan will not only be conducive to better rowing but will also...
...pilot, Staff Sergeant Gordon K. Heritage, USMC, had tried to take off before the rotor was turning at sufficient speed. The ship fell from about 30 ft., wrecking the undercarriage and breaking the rotor blades at the tips when it hit the ground. Otherwise all four blades remained intact...
