...Lakehurst, N.J., last week Captain Marion H. Eppes, commander of the naval air station, received orders to suspend the U.S. Navy's blimp program. By next December, all but two of the Navy blimps still in service-on shore patrol and early-warning defense missions-will be deflated and folded away; within another few months, the last of the Navy's "bloopy bags" will disappear from the skies.

But guess is that both sides will simply suspend hostilities by tacit agreement when the talks start. Charles de Gaulle has no doubts of success.
