...watching the formal presentation of the city charter by Governor Albert Rosselini, Richlanders recognized that there was many a problem ahead. G.E. paid its city employees wages 30% to 40% higher than scales in neighboring communities; Richland must meet the rate or possibly lose them. Although the city is bond-free and takes title to debt-free city hall, sewage plant and waterworks, its tax yield at the start will be too small to meet expenses. The Hanford atomic plant is beyond city limits and untaxable; property, liquor and gasoline taxes will be $250,000 less than...
...traveling companion and stole the sacred urn, sure that the ashes were really Oriental jewels. After chasing the culprits into the middle of a mess of Comanches, Ito waited while the Indians armed them with tomahawks, then dispatched the whole crew with his terrible sword. "Eeee-to," clucked Bond in not-too-angry disapproval, after he rode up too late to stop the sudden justice. But Ito was inconsolable.

In A Man Called Horse, beefy Ralph ("Picnic") Meeker turned up as an ignorant settler who had been handed...
Stupid Samurai. For all its disparate characters, the show maintains its continuity with the fine performances of its two steady stars. As wagon master, Bond, with his 215-lb. weatherbeaten hulk, is more consistently convincing than he ever was during his movie career. As trail scout, handsome Robert Horton, who never did amount to much on Hollywood's sets, is in his element at last. But the lean-muscled American virtues that Bond and Horton personify never seemed so attractive as they did in last week's Sakae Ito Story, when they were played off against the sensitive...
...Street's top ten banking houses, Weinberg has won an enviable reputation as an underwriter skilled at judging the new issue market just right. His most recent success was selling $350 million of Sears, Roebuck debentures-history's biggest debt offering-in a bond market so soggy that some underwriters doubted the issue could be marketed at all; Weinberg did it by offering the issue at a price to yield 4.75%, slightly above comparable issues...
