...with a lot of flying to be had. I logged almost 12 hours of air time in less than 2 1/2 weeks. My traveling companion Rich Graham and I spent the first two weeks in the San Diego area, flying mostly at Torrey Pines, but did some flying inland at Lake Elsinore and Big Black Mountain outside of Ramona, Calif. Our stay in Torrey Pines culminated with a 11/2 hour moonlight cruise over the entire six miles of cliffs at about 400 ft. above the terrain. There were just two of us flying around with flashlights illuminating our sails...

If it's not, there's reason for real concern." Should the Administration stick to that line, the steelmen may yet get into a fight with Washington. Industry...
...close to the U.S. price level. But by some estimates the increases announced last week would raise American prices by as much as $40 a ton above the reference prices for imports?which ironically are supposed to be enforced starting Feb. 1, the very day that the first Bethlehem-Inland hikes take effect.
