...improve moderately, helped by price hikes for gasoline and other petroleum products. Texaco's earnings were up 23% and Continental's 27%. Exxon, the industry leader, reported a decline of 2.6%, largely because of a drop in its foreign earnings. Other industries benefiting from price boosts were aluminum, copper and lead producers, along with electric utilities. Strong demand for all product lines also boosted profits of electrical equipment makers such as General Electric and RCA. Others scoring substantial second-quarter gains were producers of building materials, apparel and forest products; even the long buffeted airline industry took...
Reddish Hue. Viking's mechanical arm also delivered soil, scooped from the same trench, to an inorganic chemical analyzer, which will determine the elements in the material. The inorganic chemistry lab's first findings showed that the soil sample contains calcium, silicon, titanium, aluminum, iron and the iron oxide responsible for the reddish hue of Mars. But Viking's arm may have failed to make delivery to still another miniature laboratory, an organic chemistry analyzer designed to look for evidence of past Martian life. After two attempts, telemetry showed that soil had apparently not reached the interior...

...first phase of the trip, the Syrian army, which has occupied much of Lebanon, over the second stage.

It also carried the flag-draped aluminum coffins of Meloy and Waring. They had been seen off by a U.S. embassy Marine Honor Guard−in dress blues−and British embassy officials. Though the British column, at first with P.L.O., then Syrian troop escort, was briefly caught in crossfire, it reached Damascus safely...
Glutted Market. The oil companies, backed by the Administration, contend that they are competitive and point out, correctly, that there is far less concentration of market power in oil than in autos, steel, aluminum and other fields. A Treasury Department study released last week asserts that divestiture would hamper the industry's efficiency, lessen exploration and development of new wells, increase the nation's dependence on costly foreign oil and drive up prices. Oilmen agree that if more companies were bidding vigorously for Middle East oil, prices might drop somewhat−if there was a glutted market...
