...Detroit River 150 ft. in the air signaled a new era in Great Lakes shipping last week. It set off a $23 million project that will deepen Amherstburg Channel in the Detroit River near Lake Erie to a minimum depth of 27 ft. (from 21 ft.), enable the waterway to take deep-draft ocean-going ships of up to 10,000 tons and shallow-draft lake ships of 25,000 tons- almost double the present capacity. This is the first part of a five-year dredging program to open the upper Midwest to the globe-girdling ships that will...
Private contractors, working under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will carve out a standard 27-ft. waterway in the 130 miles of channels linking the western Great Lakes. This week the Army will open bids for the second stage of the project, the deepening of a channel in the St. Mary's River near the Soo Locks.

Looking at these last works, one Japanese critic mused: "They are like flowers that bloom on an aged plum tree." Then he exclaimed in admiration: "Tessai became...
...Gulf of Aqaba "from a political to a legal question." He got Nasser's oral agreement to allow the UNEF to remain at Sharm el Sheikh indefinitely while the U.N. seeks an advisory opinion from the World Court as to whether the Gulf of Aqaba is an international waterway, as Israel and the U.S. contend. Nasser reportedly also agreed not to rush Egyptian troops back into Gaza and to try to restrain his fedayeen. (Presumably Nasser is willing to have the UNEF between him and the superior Israeli army.) But Nasser refused to modify his claim of "belligerent" rights...
