From the beginning, the great Dixon-Yates ruckus of 1954-55 was more a teapot tempest than a Teapot Dome, but the Eisenhower Administration recoiled from it as though it were superheated steam. In Washington last week, the U.S. Court of Claims ruled the celebrated power contract "honest" and, in effect, rebuked the Administration for not having the courage of its convictions...

The Pennsy's $4,512,912 profit for May (34? a share) set a 2½-year record, changed the big road's $2,264,466 deficit at the beginning of the month into a solid profit for the year's first five months. For the third month in a row, the Central's earnings were...
