Fog over Frankfurt diverted five transports in Exercise Big Lift as U S officials insisted the largest long range airlift in history would meet its Thursday night deadline. Rhein Main Air Base was closed seven hours while four aircraft rerouted to Ramstein and one landed at Mildenhall. The operation ferried U S 2nd Armored Division troops, dubbed Hell on Wheels, to Europe to showcase mobility amid West German fears of troop withdrawals. U S Secretary of State Dean Rusk was to address those concerns during a West Germany visit.
