Your Oct. 14 item, on the Interstate Commerce Commission's statement that Riss & Co.'s vehicles from 1951 through 1953 were involved in 1,200 accidents resulting in 51 deaths and 501 injuries, is accurate. How ever, statistics can be deceiving, and in this case they are just that. During those years our vehicles traveled 173,579,176 miles and our accident frequency for each 100,000 miles of driving was 1.24. Included are accidents involving dented fenders, and those in which our vehicles were legally parked and struck by another vehicle. It is not my purpose...
Near the tobacco port of Samsun on Turkey's northern coast looms a huge tower-top radar eye that looks across the Black 'Sea and deep into Russia. Operated by General Electric Co. under contract with the U.S. Air Force, the eye tracks test missiles launched 700 miles away at Krasnyy Yar, Russia's version of Cape Canaveral, Fla. A vital source of U.S. intelligence about Soviet missiles, the Samsun radar picked up the 1,000-mile flight of an intermediate range ballistic missile in mid-1955, has detected five IRBM launchings a month over the past...
...books as an official trip to look into state archives, but the loudest talkers in the party (five men, four wives) seemed more interested in real estate than records, and−if the truth were known−more interested in propaganda than real estate. Whether or not Fowler, Harris & Co. really expect to stir up the North, one thing is clear from their grins and chuckles as they talk about their scheme: they find the mere thought of it more delicious than red gravy or pecan...
...quiet, young (43), round-faced Alberta oil millionaire last week became the largest single stockholder in Trans-Canada Pipe Lines Ltd., the vast and controversial enterprise that will bring Western gas to Eastern Canada. In Manhattan, Calgary Oilman Robert Arthur Brown Jr. bought the last of Tennessee Gas Transmission Co.'s Trans-Canada holdings, giving his fast-rising Home Oil Co. Ltd. a 12% holding in Trans-Canada (v. Texas Oilman Clint Murchison's 8%. and British American Oil's 5%). By buying out Tennessee at upwards of $25 a share, Bobby Brown replaced Tennessee...
Charged with holding NATO's southern flank and the entire Middle East from Communist penetration, the 500,000-man Turkish army forms the largest national contribution to the West's European forces. Along with the somewhat less impressive army of neighboring Greece--currently distracted from full co-operation by the divisive Cyprus issue--the Turkish army is responsible for defending a 1400-mile armed frontier stretching from Albania on the west to the Russian Cauccasus on the east. Yet, despite recent Soviet missile threats, this exposed position involves hazards that are nothing new for the Turks, who for centuries, have...
