Transport Workers Union. Tough Mike, heeding Murray's gospel, quit as president of the council, and advised New York City's 42,000 subway workers and bus drivers to have nothing more to do with...

...Water. Lockheed Aircraft Corp. announced that its 92-ton, four-motored Constitution, world's second biggest land-based transport plane, would be delivered to the Navy in four months. On the upper deck of the double-decked fuselage (see cut), the plane will carry 92 passengers. On the lower deck, connected by a circular staircase, it can carry another 76 passengers. Though the Constitution was built expressly for the Navy (which has another one on order), Lockheed has high hopes for it as a commercial plane. At nearly the same cruising speed (300 m.p.h.) as the Constellation...
