...Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, which countered Southern Pacific's challenge by quickly picking up a 20% holding in Western, wants to run Western as a separate, semi-autonomous railroad, continue to use it to compete with the Southern Pacific. Other railroads joined the fight. The Santa Fe's transcontinental archrival, the Union Pacific, whose lines tie in with the Southern Pacific's, said that it had bought up 10% of Western's stock and that it supported the S.P. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, which competes with the Santa Fe in the Midwest, also came...

Despite its isolation, the city has developed a first-rate Little Theater, is a regular stop for concert stars...

But the Bakimore YMCA, which denied space for a birth control clinic because the Church threatened to boycott the United Fund Appeal, like the Santa Fe Mexican who was threatened with excommunication if her son attended a non-parochial school, suggest the perpetual abuses of an authoritarian church...
