...Eastern Seaboard supermarkets last week, bargain-hungry housewives bought choice sirloin steak at 69? a Ib. and heavily marbled porterhouse at 79?-and impatiently demanded more when supplies temporarily ran short. Out on the broad Midwest ranges, cattlemen were not so happy. Beef prices have been sliding for months, are expected to stay low most of this year. On ten major Midwestern markets from Denver to Chicago, grass-fed steers that brought 28½? per Ib. in May sold for only 23? in December. In Kansas City, choice cattle slipped from 31? per Ib. in midsummer to 27¾? last...
...Else. Even when she was a 200-Ib. schoolgirl in Bakersfield, Calif., singing in assemblies, Ann had a voice that could sell a song. Eventually she was so good that she was barred from "open'' competitions. At 19 she quit school, went to Sacramento and got an $80-a-week job at a small watering place called the Mo-Mo Club. After that came places such as Elko, Nev. and Eureka. Kans. As she slimmed down to her present 145 Ibs., Ann began to get dates in Las Vegas and Hollywood...
...rival moon shot is off for another month at least. The Atlas ICBM that was especially rigged to boost a 375-Ib. payload around the moon in early October blew up last week at Cape Canaveral during a static test of its engines. It not only destroyed itself but also the second-stage rocket perched on its nose, and wrecked the launching...
...inside to seat six comfortably, but considerably smaller than other cars outside. While the 109.5-in. wheelbase is only 8.5 in. shorter than the standard Ford, the body is 26.9 in. shorter and 6.8 in. narrower. There is also a big decrease in weight: the Falcon, at 2,366 Ibs., is nearly three-quarters of a ton lighter than the 3,758-Ib. average of other Fords. This in turn gives a good weight-to-power ratio for the 90-h.p., six-cylinder engine. The car has a cruising speed of better than 60 m.p.h., and, says Ford...
While the new uses of aluminum will bring record production and sales this year, it is unlikely that earnings will follow-even though the stocks of aluminum companies have hopefully risen to the year's high. Producers say that the price of aluminum at 24.7?a Ib. is too low. Although a price rise is expected later this year, it will not come until the steel industry contracts are signed, since aluminum traditionally follows the labor patterns set by steel. For the long range, makers hope to increase demand not only at home but by developing world markets...
