Many another corporation was also worried over a cut in fourth-quarter earnings from the steel and coal strikes. Some had been hard hit already. Of 47 railroads reporting so far, only two (Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, and the Bangor & Aroostook) showed a gain for the first nine months over 1948. Some were in the red (e.g., Pennsylvania's September loss of $2.7 million put it in the red for the first nine months, v. a $20.4 million profit in 1948), and a bad third quarter put all the rest down anywhere from 15% to 75% for the nine...
...undeniably true, as the pamphlet Race in the News reveals, that numerous Southern editors still cater to anti-Negro prejudice, thus flagrantly ignoring their responsibilities both for better newspapers and better race relations . . . [However], in addition to such "laudable exceptions" as the Chattanooga Times, I certainly wish to include the Nashville Banner . . .

In its battle with Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola plans to count heavily on the new television Pepsi-Cola Girl, Louise Hyde, a 24-year-old Chattanooga belle of whom one adman said hopefully: "She just makes you feel thirsty...
...Publicity-conscious unions were in the forefront of the scrambling applicants for construction permits. In the past year, the United Auto Workers have gone on the air with station WDET in Detroit, and this month will open WCUO in Cleveland. The I.L.G.W.U. beams its message to the South through Chattanooga's WVUN, and last November invaded the West Coast with Los Angeles' KFMV, "the FM Voice of Southern California." Fifteen other union applications with FCC have either been turned down or allowed to lapse temporarily...
