Next day, a Navy Grumman aircraft on antisubmarine patrol from the carrier Lake Champlain crashed at sea, killing all four crewmen.* Change of Plans. Navy admirals grumbled that they needed faster transport vessels; they had been able to move across the Atlantic at a top speed of only 14 knots. But they proudly pointed out that they had put 28,000 men ashore at a cost of $10,300,000, given them enough supplies to fight self-sufficiently for nearly a month. The Air Force's Operation Big Lift in October 1963 had required $20 million to fly some...
...Frank Cousins, 60, Minister of Technology. A hulking six-footer who began working the coal pits at 14, Cousins by 1938 was a full-time labor organizer. As boss of the 1,300,000-man Transport Union, Cousins clashed with Labor's late solidly NATO-minded Hugh Gaitskell and stubbornly called for Britain's unilateral disarmament. Cousins argued that Britain had defended itself in World War II without A-bombs. Gaits-kell's withering reply: "And the British archers won at Agincourt without machine guns." Among Cousins' new responsibilities: overseeing Britain's atomic-energy establishment...
...actual test site should not have been hard. Since the Russians stopped supplying them with the latest Soviet missiles and interceptors, the Chinese have been almost helpless against photographic flights by U-2s and other high-flying airplanes. Deep in the desert, the site in Sinkiang requires conspicuous roads, transport vehicles, housing, supply dumps. Its burst of activity before the test must have been plainly visible to U-2s and perhaps to reconnaissance satellites orbiting overhead. If such activity still continues in the hostile Takla Makan, the Chinese are likely as Secretary Rusk announced last week, to shoot a second...
...roughly the same kinds of basic commodities, sell little to one another. Railroads, highways and ports in many areas range from primitive to nonexistent, and shipping is in short supply. "To intensify trade," says Ecuador's National Planner Raul Paez Calle, "we must have an infrastructure of communications, transport, power supply and, perhaps more important, a human infrastructure...
judicial funds, including the pay of all federal judges and Government law yers. They transport federal prisoners (79,000 last year), serve all federal court papers, from jury notices to Supreme Court orders - a chore that often takes wit and wile. To slap a desegregation injunction on Alabama's well-guarded George Wallace, for example, one deputy marshal stowed away in the men's room aboard the Governor's plane. Marshals have been called upon to seize entire businesses, not to mention stolen art works and such other oddments as a shipment of "Helene Curtis Magic Secret...
