Navy pushes 506 million boost for shipyard subsidence fix
Washington Navy recommends a 506 million dollar rise in its 1959 budget to advance long Beach Naval Shipyard subsidence repairs. The plan awaits Defense Department, Budget Bureau and Congress approval with budget reshuffling needed to fund the higher amount. The California Legislature had approved a subsidence program that prompted the Navy to restore funds after the Armed Services Committee had cut the prior five year plan.

Fire in New York Museum Kills One and Traps Many
A smoky blaze at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art sent fumes into an adjoining building trapping several people on the sixth floor. At least one man, Ruby Goeller of Brooklyn, died. Fire crews used aerial ladders to rescue trapped occupants as onlookers filled the street.
