...World War II. There the bulky segments of the C-5 Advanced Saturns will be assembled. They will then be taken by barge (the only way they can be carried) to a thinly inhabited area in nearby Mississippi for static testing. Then they will be floated along the Intracoastal Waterway to Cape Canaveral for final assembly and launching into space...
...Reception Center until Oct. 9 and then is expected to go to other U. S. cities, brings the Soviet-created Berlin crisis into vivid and frequently dramatic close-up focus. A large turntable rotates an illuminated color map of the divided city. Animated lighting depicts its air, waterway, rail and highway routes to the free world. Large panels of photographs show facets of life in West Berlin. Motion pictures catch the excitement of recent events: the cheers of welcome to Vice President Lyndon Johnson and to U.S. troop reinforcements; the erection of sections of the 25-mile wall; the flight...
Odds are that the Seaway in time will live up to its promise. Traffic in May through the major Montreal-Lake Ontario link rose 20%. Farther west, another traffic increase is expected upon completion of the "Connecting Channels" project, which will open a 27-ft. waterway through the Soo Locks and the Detroit, St. Clair and St. Marys rivers. The Seaway should benefit ultimately, too, from major new iron mines being developed in Labrador and from steadily mounting U.S. and Canadian exports. Says Chicago Regional Port Director Maxim Cohen: "We're just a waddling infant. It will probably...
...dams is to fend off the sea and its damaging flood tides. But with the salt water blocked off, the estuaries will slowly fill up with fresh water from the rivers. By means of five smaller dams farther inland, the sweet water can be sluiced northward into the Rotterdam Waterway. The waterway provides ocean-going vessels with access to The Netherlands' greatest port, but, in the process, also allows salt water to pass far inland, damaging surrounding farmlands. In effect, the five smaller dams of the Delta Plan will be used to hose the salinity out of the waterway...
Between ice in and ice out, Canada's St. Lawrence Seaway Authority turned its efforts to remedying a problem that marred the waterway's inaugural season last year. Big seagoing vessels had such high wind-catching bows and their crews were so inexperienced in the narrow locks and channels that there were 76 accidents along the 27½ mile Welland Canal between Lakes Ontario and Erie. The authority spent $7,500,000 on new mooring walls and fender booms for the Welland, ordered all ships to carry special landing booms, stern anchors and winches. The equipment is sure...
