The new Pope had already given dramatic evidence of this intention by his appointment last week of 23 new cardinals, expanding the college from its 372-year-old limit of 70 to a new strength of 75-with the prospect of still further expansion to come.

The Norfolk & Western and the Virginian Railway, which share the profitable soft-coal Pocahontas region with the Chesapeake & Ohio, announced that they had started studies for a merger that would add "strength to strength." Both lines are efficient operators but could profit by merging. Their merger would create a new system having 2,695 miles of main track in the South and combined assets of more than $900 million...
