Faulty Deep Sea Gear Plagues Navy Projects
CAPE KENNEDY AP Navy deep-ocean programs suffer from unreliable equipment says Capt. W. M. Nicholson director of the deep submergence systems project. Capt. T. K. Treadwell deputy commander of the navy oceanographic office notes a general lack of reliability across the field. The remarks came at an oceanography session during the fourth space congress in Cocoa Beach. He cited Sealab 1 and 2 experiments from 1964 and 1965 as proof that men can live underwater but hardware is lacking for sustained work.

Postville Dairy Cattle Slaughter Pegged at 450
National Farmers Organization leader Oren Lee Staley forecast 12 000 to 15 000 dairy cows to be slaughtered as part of a milk price action across 25 states. First day collections at six points averaged 200 to 500 cows, with Tuesday likely to see more. Slaughter would slash 120 million pounds of milk supply, a permanent action. Milk was diverted into cheese and powdered milk while farmers maintained ownership of products. Six Iowa points included Stanton Sioux City Spencer Lawn Hill Postville Wayland. Slaughtered cows were sent to packing plants in Spencer and Postville with Hygrade handling Postville cattle. A buyer at Hygrade predicted 450 head to be slaughtered at Postville with about 800 total across three collection points. FAIRBANK council named Clarence Bush sewer inspector.
