In fact, the chief argument is already now primarily one of timing of more massive Government intervention as well as of the form this intervention should take-a tax cut, a sharp increase in public works or a combination of the two. In the last analysis we have now both the weapons and the will to prevent any serious deterioration of the present fundamentally healthy economic situation...

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. The Sharp company also is designing the first U.S. atomic passenger and cargo ship, the N.S. Savannah, for launching in 1960. The Government hopes that lessons learned in building the Savannah will make the power...
