Undersea travel plan gets boost from Ben Franklin voyage
Washington reports that Roswell F. Busby and five crewmen of the submarine Ben Franklin described undersea transport as a future possibility after a month long Gulf Stream voyage. The crew noted fast deep water currents, absence of the deep scattering layer, and strong teamwork. The mission showed undersea speed of four to five knots, suggesting fuel and time savings for surface vessels.

Oldest Ocean Area Found in Northwestern Pacific
Scripps Institution of Oceanography reported that a Northwestern Pacific section dated to about 140 million years ago may be the oldest part of the Pacific and possibly the oldest oceanic area. Dr. N A Peterson said the Deep Sea Drilling project phase, funded by the National Science Foundation, supports sea floor spreading and continental drift, confirming Europe, North America, Africa and South America were once connected.
