A nautical mile is 6,080 feet, a
statute mile is 5,280 feet.
Use of the nautical mile, the
CAA said, simplifies measuring
distances on maps and charts.
Airspeed indicators and similar
instruments aboard planes will re
quire new dials to express their
speed in terms of knots instead of
statute miles per hour.
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The de
fense department released a list of
929 casualties of the Korean fight

today’s newspapers.
A spokesman said the list rep- j

ualties are not publicly announced |
until next of kin have been noti- j
fied. !
The department has not recent-!
. lv issued any casualty totals, say-1
ing that military security is in-1
volved.

THERE WILL BE AMPLE SUP
PLY OF TIRES AND TUBES
AKRON, O. (^P)—Motorists still
will be able to buy the tires and
tubes they need in spite of a new
government curtailment on rub
ber productions.
This was agreed on Saturday by
various spokesmen for the rubber
industry after they examined the
government order. They said, too,
that there will be plenty of rubber
for other civilian goods.
The order by the department of
commerce would reduce rubber
consumption to about 90,000 tons a
month as a result of the Korean
fighting. The industry last month j
consumed about 103,000 tons.
