...more than a year, eleven Eastern railroads have been negotiating with the tuggers' three unions over the size of the crews on 47 diesel tugboats that haul coal and food to Manhattan from New Jersey railheads. The unions, led by the militant Seafarers of A.F.L.-C.I.O. Maritime Chief Paul Hall, demanded a contract guaranteeing the number at the traditional five men. Management held out for the right to cut the crews, but offered to freeze the size for one year, thereafter promised to 1) give 120 days' notice before making any reductions, and 2) submit any disputes...
...door when their detection equipment registered lethal radiation. Lead-suited rescue workers took over, but inside the reactor room radiation was up to 1,000 roentgens an hour (450 is a man-killing dose). They could stay inside for just a few moments at a time-long enough to haul out one man who still showed signs of life. Moments later he was dead. Two others were already beyond help, their bodies shattered by an explosion that had wrecked the reactor...
Straying Escort. Sputtering with rage, Colonel Mobutu vowed to retaliate and to bring Kivu back under his control. But how?

Naturally, everything that can possibly go wrong goes as wrong as possible, but somehow the charitable criminals manage to creak home with half their haul-the other half is absentmindedly left in a taxi. Stumbling and bumbling from success to hilarious success, the mink mob is soon established as the despair of Scotland Yard and the hope of innumerable philanthropies-including the police orphanage. At the fade, four suspicious characters, dressed in the Renaissance knickers...
AIRLINE TRAFFIC CUT will probably result from the President's order to reduce number of military dependents abroad to stem gold outflow. Last year airlines earned $68 million ferrying 428,000 dependents. But projected contracts for $35 million to haul 221,000 persons in 1961 are now in doubt...
