...sharpest week-to-week drop in three years-and were 12.6% under the same week of 1956. The overall picture was not quite so dark as the week-to-week statistics made it appear. Carloadings have been dropping from the 1956 level for most of this year, but the gap between loadings in 1957 and 1956 has remained steady. For the first six months, loadings were down 5.7%, and for the 4½ months since, the decrease is no greater. Railmen hope the year ends off only about...

Kallas, who founded Mortgage Guaranty last April, thought that a private firm could fill the gap. Friends, relatives and clients put up $250,000, and Karl sold $500,000 in stock.

Ordered last month to drop the box, Raya pointedly substituted three inches of white space, plus another big gap where it would normally have carried an editorial explaining the omission...
...strain. Originally, planemakers estimated that they might be forced to borrow between $1.5 billion and $2 billion to keep going without full progress payments on contracts. Fortnight ago, after a calmer calculation, the spread was down to $800 million. Now with an additional $300 million available, the gap is only $500 million all told. Of this amount, the industry will probably have to borrow $300 million, while the Air Force hopes to find enough loose change in its various financial pigeonholes to take care of the remaining $200 million...
