Thus it was no surprise when Judge Taylor last year issued an order against interference with the high-school integration program in Clinton. At first he had denied Negro petitions for admission to the all-white school, by declaring the legality of "separate but equal" facilities for Negroes.

...explains one airline man, "runs about $5 now, and has to be specially made." Even if the feeders, which operate with an average load factor of 45%, could boost their loads to the big trunklines' average of 65%, the DC-3 would still lose money. The revenues would equal only 87.5^ a mile v. a cost of about $1 a mile...
