...Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Pennsylvania. Each was given a mimeographed guide sheet with minute details of the route, the histories of towns, the identity of every grade-crossing and switchback along the way. Route was southeast from Chicago, over trackage unused by passenger trains for years, to Logansport, Ind., then northeast to La Otto, southeast again to Fort Wayne. There the one-day railroaders went through the Pennsyl vania's divisional shops. Meanwhile the engine was changed from a double-header K-2 to a double-header K-4, fastest of steam engines. This power whipped the train back...
...public along the lines of the National Association of Manufacturers' current effort to resell "The American Way" (TIME, Sept. 28). It was not a campaign to drum up business for its members, not even an institutional campaign. In modest little two-column insertions in dailies in the Northeast it was announced that a booklet called The New York Stock Exchange, Its Functions and Operations would be sent free upon request. In the New York Times and Herald Tribune the Exchange got preferred positions on the second or third pages along with the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Knox Hats, Reuben...
...afternoon last week, 15 minutes before the close of the New York Stock Exchange, a few brokers raised their eyes to the two flag staffs at the northeast end of the trading floor, observed that the New York State flag was missing from its place beside the U.

...threat of death to every American in Texas. Against him, in the Alamo mission at San Antonio, Col. William Travis and Col. James Bowie stood with 184 men, including Davy Crockett and a dozen buckskin-clad Tennesseans. At tiny Washington on the Brazos River, 160 miles to the northeast, Sam Houston and some 60 citizens were drawing up Texas' declaration of independence. At Goliad, 140 miles to the southeast, Col. James Fannin lay with some 400 soldiers, unaware of the siege. For eleven days, in one of the great last stands of history, Travis and his men held...
...test drilling of lower sands in the Rodessa region. When the first Rodessa oil gushed into United Gas's slush pits last July it came from 6,000 feet down. Two months later a 25,000-barrel well brought in a mile and a half to the northeast proved that the Rodessa field, at this depth, extended over a respectable area. Since then more than 100 new wells have shown Rodessa's extent to be at least 10,000 acres in a narrow band lying diagonally across Louisiana's northwest corner from Arkansans on the north...
