...year-old Philippine doctor sat grimly in a Bronx hospital one day last week, hands clenched, anger and sadness on her face. In 1958 she had paid her own fare to New York, happy at the opportunity to work and study in the U.S. Now a senior resident at the hospital (salary: $3,180), she had earned the full respect of her colleagues. Said the medical superintendent: '"Outstanding-a record such as you have never seen...
...question is how Kaiser's consortium, the Volta Aluminium Co. Ltd. (VALCO),* will fare in raising $178 million in private money to build the smelter. Although the Ghana government has given VALCO a written promise that it will not expropriate the Volta plant once it is built and running, President Nkrumah is a volatile nationalist and neutralist dealing with both East and West, and there are segments of his Cabinet that favor outright nationalization of all Ghanaian private enterprises. As a precaution for its U.S. and foreign private investors, VALCO will take out International Cooperation Administration insurance against nationalization...
...airline-fare cuts are the result of a year-long study by five top TCA executives. In response to President Gordon McGregor's desire to increase the number of travelers by decreasing the cost of traveling, the team re-examined the entire airline cost structure. They concluded that since take-offs and landings are the most expensive part of every flight (heavy fuel consumption, airport fees, ground expenses), fares should not be calculated on a straight price-per-mile basis. Instead, statisticians worked out a new cost curve that drops as flights get longer. Thus, round-trip flights from...
Faced with government-owned Trans-Canada's decision, privately owned Canadian Pacific had no choice except to go along. Neither have the U.S. lines-including American, Eastern and United-that compete with TCA on routes between the two countries. Though U.S. carriers complain that TCA can chop fares only because it has government support, U.S. lines will probably have to follow suit to stay competitive (See BUSINESS). Bound to suffer: Canada's railroads, which already lose money on their cross-continent runs (one-way tourist fare, including a berth but no meals or extras: $115.40). TCA Boss McGregor...
When space knowhow increases, says Dr. Carl E. Snyder of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., spacecraft may be built largely of plastics, which will fare better than metals in the hostile outer world. Snyder and W. B. Cross of Goodyear Aircraft Corp. told an Air Force space conference in Dayton that many metals "boil away" slowly in the near-perfect vacuum of space. Plastics, which are made of long molecular chains linked and tangled together, are less volatile than metals, and therefore should last longer...
