...demands-is too high. Such attacks would do little to hamper North Viet Nam's war effort, since most of its weapons and ammunition come from Red China and Russia. More important, goes the U.S. reasoning, if Ho Chi Minh's "hostage" industries-coal and iron mines, port facilities and Red River dams-were taken out, he might enlarge the war by sending his 450,000-man army south in an all-out move to take South Viet...
When finished early next year at a cost that may run as high as $100 million, Cam Ranh will be a port the size of Charleston, easing the pressure on Saigon's chockablock facilities. It will need all the dock space the engineers can clear: one measure of the U.S. commitment in Viet Nam is that last January only 65,000 tons of military equipment were fed into the nation by sea; during November more than 750,000 tons will arrive-a tenfold increase. Eventually, Cam Ranh's facilities will be able to store 45 days' supply...
Good question. For months, Ben-Gurion has been keeping a grueling political schedule that would make a far younger man feel six score years of age. On the day before his birthday, he harangued a crowd of 3,000 in the Red Sea port of Elath on the failure of Premier Levi Eshkol to develop the Negev, then gave a two-hour evening lecture on other Eshkol shortcomings.

...Castro Circus. Those returning from Cuba told stories of a typical Castro Circus at Camarioca, the "international port" that Castro created 65 miles east of Havana for use by refugees. Among the first U.S. newsmen to visit was TIME Correspondent Richard Duncan. The port's main feature is a fenced-off compound sprawling across some four acres along the narrow Camarioca River. At the dock, an "immigration official" introduced himself ("just call me Roberto") and motioned toward 300 Cubans milling around across the river. "When a boat arrives for them," he said, "we will notify them and admit them...
Because of the lift in steel output and orders, employment and construction in the Chicago area are rising. Last week the state of Indiana sought first bids for a new port at Burns Harbor that will cost about $100 million, will handle ore boats carrying iron ore from the Mesabi and from similar mines in Upper Michigan. The Burlington Lines railroad recently decided to add 100 covered gondola cars to carry finished steel, later revised the total upward to 200 because of the rising volume of traffic. The New York Central System is planning to build...
