...auto sales, which gained in May over a year ago, had another advance last month to a point 4.2% above their June 1966 mark.

Another Nylon? To rebound, Du Pont still puts its faith in its prolific test tube. Among other promising ventures, it has recently developed a cheap but strong plastic heat exchanger, a line of nylon shutters and plastic vanity tops, and a compound called Zeset that keeps wool sweaters shrinkproof and enables felt hats to retain their shape and stiffness. For the future, Du Pont researchers envision such wonders as ski jackets that grow thicker and warmer when the temperature drops, curtains that change color or covering power when the sun hits, a fiber product that will remove salt or waste...

Last week the Commerce Department reported that March housing starts showed a mere 1.7% gain from their February doldrums, to an annual rate of 1,171,000 new houses and apartments. At that pace, the industry was barely bettering its performance during...
...game closed out of control, with violent outbreaks scattered among sloppy play. The Harvard club has slumped noticeably since its victory over Yale two weeks ago. It will have a chance to rebound this Saturday when it plays the Elis in Van Cortlandt Park...
