...fare overhaul ordered by the CAB should raise industry revenues a bit more than 1% above last year's levels. Reason: most coach passengers take the short-haul trips that will become more expensive. Braniff International appears to be the biggest winner; its web of short routes across the Southwest will bring in a projected 3½% more revenue. National and TWA, both mostly long-haul carriers, will each lose about ½ of 1% in revenues. The nation's seven other domestic trunk lines will fall somewhere in between...

Still it is difficult for the shareholders to penetrate the web of nominees' names to find who really controls his company. Even some Government agencies have failed to identify the institutions behind the nominees. When the FCC learned in 1969 that the banks were in violation of its 1% holding rule, it was because the banks themselves had confessed their error. The commission's specialists never had attempted...
