Whole Fleet Transferred to Emergency Fleet Corporation Plan
Our view urges government fleet administration to cut losses on essential routes and ease disposal to private operators. Recommend transferring the entire fleet and property to the Emergency Fleet corporation with the president appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. An advisory board of key cabinet members should guide policy on routes, sales, and creation of subsidiary lines. Regional committees would advise on regionally vital decisions.

Older temple found beneath Ashtaroth ruin at Beisan
Archaeologists from the Palestine expedition report a newer temple of Ashtaroth atop an older shrine at Beisan. They found a gold image of the goddess inside the lower temple, indicating an earlier cult layer beneath the Bethshan complex.
