...camp was Thomas Mosness, 22, a bespectacled Navy airman from Ames, Iowa. He had a .45-cal. pistol and gunbelt given him by his captors. He practices fast draw with the rebels, said he is 'just like one of them.' Further in the hills, I reached a main rebel headquarters, where the 26th of July [rebel] flag flies, a clerk typist pounds out war orders, and eight elderly civilian hostages live with no complaints. 'Hell, a few days won't hurt us,' said one. 'We are all rebel sympathizers anyway...
...York, two new dams went up-the dams that last week drowned the old rapids under a navigable lake 28 miles long and up to four miles wide. One was the St. Lawrence Power Dam. The other, the Long Sault (pronounced soo) Spillway Dam, stands across the old main river bed to divert water to the power dam and a bypass ship channel...
...world's busiest waterways, will grow even busier when deep-draft ships can steam directly from the ocean lanes into the ports of Toronto, Cleveland and Chicago in what trade promoters like to call the Eighth Sea, the Fourth Coast, the North American Mediterranean.

Seaway planners forecast a traffic load of 25 million tons on the new seaway next season-just double the old seaway...

While contractors go along with this, they argue that renegotiation decisions are so capricious that what are considered normal profits for one contractor are called excessive for another...
...models have aluminum grilles, so 1960's cars will spread out to more and more uses for aluminum. General Motors, which has been working toward a small, compact car (TIME, June 23), will finally get it on the road late next year. Main feature: an aluminum engine, which will save 150 Ibs., in turn reduce overall engine weight 30% by means of lighter mountings, braces, etc. Up to now every aluminum engine required either a ferrous liner or a chromium coating for cylinder bores; both were expensive to make and troublesome to process. G.M. believes it has solved...
