...another, averaging 6.26%, effective July 1. At the same time, the New Haven last year cut its equipment-maintenance costs by nearly $4,000,000, its ways-and-structures maintenance by nearly $2,000,000 (the New Haven says partly because of improved methods). The results of using aging, ill-kept equipment are clear for all to see and suffer: the latest monthly figures show that no fewer than 243 New Haven commuter trains ran late in April (for that same month, only 54 Long Island trains were late).

Only the intervention of Ibn Saud's second son, the able, hawk-nosed Crown Prince Feisal, 55, saved his throne.

Hauled in by sympathetic cops, unemployed Family Man (four children) O'Neill, twice committed to public hospitals in the past for dope addiction, was carrying on him a large bottle of amphetamine pills, a prescription drug sometimes used by former addicts to curb their craving for stronger fixes. Rapped $55 for not having a narcotics user's identity card...
