...Five" U. S. airlines all want four-motored transports about twice the size of the standard Douglas DC-2. Last spring they banded together to finance such a ship, gave Douglas the job (TIME, March 30). This has not progressed satisfactorily-Douglas is so overladen with other contracts that it may have to farm some out, the design turned out heavier than expected, and the six staffs of engineers have been unable to agree.

Yet every quota, restriction or curtailment program had been removed from production, and long-closed, high-cost mines were preparing to cash in on the boom. Where was the copper going...
...amounted to some $375,000,000. American Can's share was $185,000,000, just under one-half the total, as against the nine-tenths it enjoyed nearly 40 years ago. Continental's share was estimated $95,000,000, one-fourth the total. Thus American is about twice as big as Continental and together they do 75% of the U. S. can business. National Can was a poor 3% third with sales...
