Pesky leaks halt flight of lunar module test

The Navy seeks 19.8 million to condemn Port Chicago California to create a two mile safety zone around piers that handle most ammunition for Vietnam. The move follows a wartime explosion in 1944 that killed 320 people. The Senate approved the plan as part of a military construction authorization bill, with House-Senate differences to be resolved before final action by the President.
