...this huggermuggery was to enable executives from Standard Oil of New Jersey and its Humble Oil subsidiary to get a secret peek at the mock-up of a gas-station sign that will probably become familiar to millions of American motorists. After two years of intensive sorting and musing, Jersey Standard officials have all but decided on a new brand name to be used in all the company's 28,600 U.S. stations. In a final test of consumer reaction, oil and gas are now being sold under the Exxon name at 33 company stations from New Hampshire...

The FBI, the Internal Revenue Service and other Government agencies, which had easy access to data banks, must now have a court order to peek at an individual's dossier (except for checks on prospective employees). Credit-bureau officials who knowingly supply data to unauthorized clients risk a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.
