Navy-Requested Civilian
Survey Reports Fleet Is
Rapidly Deteriorating
WASHINGTON, Of—A civilian
survey team contends the U. S.
fleet Is not in an acceptable state
of -readiness and that drastic ac
tion is needed to “reverse the
mounting deterioration now in
progress.”
In a censored version of its re
port to the Secretary of the Navy,
the survey team said: “The pri
mary cause of this situation is an
ever widening gap between the
responsibilities assigned to the
Navy and the financial resources
allocated to it.”
The group urged a substantial
increase in funds for both new
ship construction and mainten
ance during the next fiscal year.
The censored report didn’t spell
out how much additional money
is needed. But the Washington
Post said a Navy source reported
that a four-year improvement pro
gram costing more than one bil
lion dollars has been prepared.
The fleet survey was made by
W. S. Blewett, Jr., president of
the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Drydock Co.; L. H. Quacken
bush, vice president of the State
Marine Lines, a steamship com
pany, and R. E. Gibson, director
of the John Hopkins University
Applied Science Laboratory.
The Navy had requested them
to examine the fleet, with empha
sis on maintenance and operating
problems.

‘Magic Bullet — Kill or
Cure’ Treatment Foreseen
For Deadly Cancer
BOSTON, OP — A “magic bui*
let” for cancer — a drug that
would kill or check the growth
of cancerous cells — was fore
seen today by Dr. Charles S.
Cameron, dean of Hahnemann
Medical College, of Philadelphia.
He said a newly developed drug
cured two hamsters who some
months ago had “full-blown ac
tively growing cancers.”
In a speech prepared for a
luncheon opening the 1959 crusade
of the American Cancer Society
in Massachusetts, Dr. Cameron
said: The “principle of the magic
bullet for cancer, it seems to me,
has been established as reasonable
by this demonstration.”
C.A.B. Bureau Suggests
Offering NWA Exclusive
Hawaii Flight Rights
WASHINGTON, Lft—The lucra
tive air route between Seattle
Portland and Hawaii should be as
signed exclusively to Northwest
Orient Airlines, an agency of the
Civil Aeronautics Board said
yesterday.
The C.A.B.’s Bureau of air op
erations submitted its recommen
dation to an examiner handling \
the case.
If NWA is given an exclusive,
permanent certificate by the
C.A.B. to serve Hawaii from the
Pacific Northwest, it would eli
minate Pan American World Air
ways, which also flies from
Seattle-Portland to Honolulu.
The bureau, which represents
the C.A.B. in public matters, said
in a brief to the examiner that
public convenience and necessity
do not require a renewal of Pan
Am’s temporary operating certifi
cate to Hawaii. It said traffic was
insufficient to support profitable
operations by two carriers.
