...successful in the Continental auto market. Along the way, the Western European gasoline and tire market has become increasingly important. It is now second in size only to that in the U.S., and it is growing about three times as fast. Charging in for their share, American oil and rubber companies are faring reasonably well against entrenched competition...
...same principle. But like its predecessors, the Weinstein-Davidson product weighed in at an impractical, beam-breaking 3,000 Ibs. The doctors did not give up, though, and lightweight improvements on their design, manufactured by the Scott Paper Co., now fit standard hospital beds. The hollowed-out, foam-rubber mattresses have inserted plastic sacs that fit patients like a cloud and allow their weight to be distributed so uniformly over the supporting surface that they would not even break eggs...

Vice President Walter Reuther's United Auto Workers demanded that the contract, which still has a year to run, be renegotiated for some 200,000 pipe fitters, millrights and other craftsmen. The U.A.W. in sisted that such workers get a $1-an-hour wage hike...
