This week, almost unnoticed against the splashy baptism of the nuclear-powered submarine named after a Greek god, the Navy prepared to launch a slim, 3,990-ton destroyer at the Ingalls Shipbuilding Yard in Pascagoula, Miss.

...Maritime Administration last week awarded design-study contracts totaling $400,000 to General Electric Co. and Manhattan's George G. Sharp marine-engineering firm. The plan is to install a boiling-water reactor in a conventional T-5 tanker, now being built by Ingalls Shipbuilding Corp. at Pascagoula, Miss.

He got an indictment against the Gulf Coast Shrimpers' & Oystermen's Association, an organization of some 5,000 independent fishermen who last year caught $15 million worth of shrimp (and some oysters) in the Mississippi Sound for sale to packers at Biloxi, Pascagoula and Pass Christian, Miss. The Government charged that the association and its officers used "coercive practices" to fix prices, and "force and violence" to cut off supplies of shrimp to dealers who did not meet its terms. By these methods, said the trustbusters, shrimp prices were kept high...
