Last week, in a precedent-making decision, Federal Judge Herbert W. Christenberry ruled that Nicholson's unit rates were indeed unfair competition. Thus, what started out as a local fight blossomed into an issue affecting more than 170 newspapers all over the U.S.; many publishers who own morning and evening papers in one city also use the unit advertising rates, i.e., advertisers must buy space in both papers to get in either...

Said he: "The Times-Picayune, because of its monopoly position, has been able to force buyers of advertising space to purchase what they do not want, space in the States, in order to obtain what they require, space in the Times-Picayune...

More Energy. Houdry's process is quite simple. The catalytic units are arranged in layers in the chimneys, and each unit has 73 porcelain rods coated with a thin film (only .003 inch) of alumina and platinum alloy.

...York City's Consolidated Edison Co., which generates electricity from coal) to make immense savings in fuel. Moreover, the oil industry, which has to burn oil to generate the heat needed to refine petroleum, also can make big savings. Houdry estimates that a petroleum cat-cracking unit could save $320,000 a year in fuel by installing 12,000 of his units. Joseph N. Pew's Sun Oil Co., one of Houdry's original partners in his cat-cracking, is now installing the new Houdry process at a cracking unit in Marcus Hook, Pa. Houdry himself thinks...
