A year passed before the lovers re-established contact; regretfully, they despaired of getting Soultana into the U.S. immigration quota. In 1930 Athanassios sent $275 to his brothers to buy Soultana's passage to America. The brothers, he says, never gave her the letter or the money, and reported that Soultana had disappeared...

And that air is fouled by crew members' smoking, which in time can produce a higher monoxide level than did the old diesels.

...year's level; gasoline stocks are at an alltime high. Refiners in Oklahoma and Texas have been forced to cut crude prices, and pressure is building up for a further slash in Oklahoma allowables. Domestic producers blame the situation on heavy imports, but importers are complaining that their quotas under the Government's voluntary-import quota program are not high enough to enable them to operate efficiently. While imports of petroleum and oil products reached a record high of 1,897,500 bbl. at latest report, the Government did not consider the weekly figures significant, since they often...
