...Ducts. The most obvious use for nuclear power was to enable submarines to cruise submerged for long periods out of contact with the air, but the success of the Nautilus convinced doubters in the Navy that nearly all ships would benefit too. Nuclear carriers, needing no fuel oil, can carry twice as much fuel for their brood of airplanes. Their nuclear boilers discharge no combustion gases, so their superstructures will be clear of the enormous ducts that clutter oil-burning carriers. This will leave more space for vital radar and airplane-handling equipment...
...only recently began buying heavily abroad, condemned them as unfair and discriminatory against "new importers." Tidewater's imports will be slashed from a planned 84,600 bbl. daily to only 34,200 because it imported little in the base 1954-56 period. Even the domestic producers who will benefit most from the quotas called them too little and too late. Said Olin Culberson, chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission, which controls 45% of U.S. output: "There is every logical reason why the voluntary plan will break down.

...private loan up to a maximum face amount of $5,000,000 for each company, and estimates are that the lines will need a total $60 million in the next five years. The House bill exempting capital gains may be even more important, since it would benefit not only the feeders but the whole U.S. airline industry. By freeing $67 million in capital gains earned from selling old planes over the next five years, A.T.A. President Tipton testified, the bill would give the industry a $270 million credit reserve toward new planes. Even that is only a start. To keep...
