...early 42-24 lead as the Russians piled up enough points in the women's events to stay close. U.S. Hammer Thrower Harold Connolly upset Russia's world's-record holder, Mikhail Krivonosov, with a heave of 220 ft. 8.88 in. Other U.S. winners: Ira Murchison (100-meter dash), Glenn Davis (400-meter run), Parry O'Brien (shotput), Ernie Shelby (broad jump), Barbara Jones in the women's 100-meter dash...
...Capital started losing money in 1956, partly because of its expensive turboprops, partly because of an inherently bad short-haul route structure that gave Capital none of the rich transcontinental market. But his biggest trouble was with Capital's general counsel and biggest stockholder (64,420 shares), Charles Murchison, 58, who looked askance at the way Carmichael ran Capital as a one-man air show, wanted more of a team operation. Last summer Murchison and his backers brought in Major General David H. Baker as president and chief executive officer (TIME, Aug. 5), moved Slim Carmichael up to board...
...evening other favorites had failed to oblige. Western Michigan's stocky little Sprinter Ira Murchison lurched off the starting blocks and was shut out of the finals of the 60-yd. dash before he found his balance. Duke's Dave Sime also finished out of the money, and the race went to a long shot, Army Lieut. Ken Kave.

But before they could look up his name-Melvin Schwarz of the Baltimore Olympic Club...
...loudly bombarded the Central with newspaper ads attacking its operating policies. Gradually, he softened confidence in the Central's management until he finally captured the road with the help of a dazzling financial trick. Using friends for financial help, as he often did, Young got Texas Oilmen Clint Murchison and Sid Richardson to buy 800,000 shares of Central stock owned by the C. & 0. (which had been prevented by the Interstate Commerce Commission from voting its shares) so they could vote the stock for Young. Not only had the stock been bought completely on borrowed cash, but Young...
...controversial enterprise that will bring Western gas to Eastern Canada. In Manhattan, Calgary Oilman Robert Arthur Brown Jr. bought the last of Tennessee Gas Transmission Co.'s Trans-Canada holdings, giving his fast-rising Home Oil Co. Ltd. a 12% holding in Trans-Canada (v. Texas Oilman Clint Murchison's 8%. and British American Oil's 5%). By buying out Tennessee at upwards of $25 a share, Bobby Brown replaced Tennessee's President Gardiner Symonds as the dominant figure in Trans-Canada...
