...last week's crash. It hauls the islanders for $60 one way, flies whenever it has a load. It had operated strictly within the letter of the law. Refurbished and approved in April by the Civil Aeronautics Authority, the Commando was actually flying 500 pounds under its gross weight limit, 45,000 pounds. In Puerto Rico last week, there was agitation to tighten up the regulations: obviously something was wrong when 116 lives were lost in two years...
...year-out buying at Penney's has built the company, which has stores in every state, into the third biggest U.S. retail chain. Last year, only Sears, Roebuck & Co. and Montgomery Ward & Co., Inc. sold more goods than J. C. Penney, which rang up a whopping $885 million gross and a $47.8 million...
Senator Hickenlooper ahs conducted the current hearings in a sadly irresponsible faction. He has blown a few dubious charges up to an accusation of "gross mismanagement." He accused the AEC of hiring 2000 workers without proper loyalty checks--disregarding the fact that these men were given only emergency checks to facilitate their work on projects where the demands of security actually required speed.

This sort of thing...

With four DC-35 he started unscheduled Trans-Pacific Airlines, which flew regularly enough to haul 10,000 inter-island passengers a month during the first year. By 1947, Ruddy managed to gross $103,000 and net $35,000 in one month. That was too much for Hawaiian Air. It got an injunction to keep Ruddy from flying on schedules; Ruddy's business dropped...
Diamond Head. Ruddy, who lives with his wife and seven children in a spacious $125,000 beach home by Diamond Head, expects to gross $1,800,000 during his first year on the new CAB charter. He is convinced there is room for two airlines in the air-minded Territory, where 350,000 passengers flew among the islands last year. His fellow Orientals think so, too. When Ruddy recently floated a stock issue (at $1 a share) to finance his expansion, they eagerly chipped in their dollars. He sold 345,000 shares...
