New Blimp Fleet to Spot Subs for Navy
The U S Navy advances a blimp fleet to defend coastal waters, with seven in operation and six more under construction. Congress may fund two additional blimps and authorize multiple new air stations from Elizabeth City to Sunnyvale, plus ten auxiliary sites. Helium supplies rise as a strategic asset, and naval leaders cite blimps’ low cost and wide observation range as key to anti submarine patrols and convoy defense.

Pass More Clay Pass More Clay AP Feature Service
South Carolina sections report a habit of eating clay, not ordinary clay but a rain sniffed variety. The practice, tied to generations, brings a small trade at nickel a pound. Medical authorities deem the clay medically worthless and cause digestive issues, while some adherents claim odd benefits.
