In the first three months this year, United lost close to $3,000,000. That was a shock to the industry, for United has long been the bluest of its blue chips and it has shouldered the second heaviest domestic traffic burden. Its routes stretched 10,079 miles, including a Mexican subsidiary, Lamsa, second greatest on the continent (American is first); in 1946 United accounted for 18% of total...
