From below, at 17,000 ft., a member of a second descending party-four men and a woman-turned and saw the fall. Three of them, one a physician, crawled back to help the stricken team, while Mrs. Helga Bading remained with Paul Crews and a two-way portable radio. Soon, monitors at a radio shop in Anchorage, 140 miles away, heard Crews's call for help: all four in the upper party were injured -broken limbs, head injuries, frostbite-and now Mrs. Bading herself, a slight (95 lbs., 4 ft. 11 in.) woman, was sick from lack...

This week, to get the children off the streets, he ordered all colleges and universities in Ankara and Istanbul closed till fall...
...heart of a hot and ionized cosmic cloud, Alfven believes, the sun's powerful magnetic field fended off the distant, electrically charged parts of the cloud. Gradually the cloud cooled, and some of its ionized atoms combined with electrons, making the atoms electrically neutral and permitting them to fall toward the sun. After they had fallen a few hundred million miles, they acquired tremendous speed, collided with the thin gas that surrounds the sun, were ionized again by the energy of collision, and then were stopped in their tracks by the sun's magnetic field. Easily ionized chemical...
...Interstate Commerce Commission is on record as favoring railroad consolidations in principle-as the best way to meet the powerful competition of trucks for freight, and autos and planes for passengers. Costs can be cut by eliminating duplicate facilities. Last fall the ICC approved a merger of the Norfolk & Western and the Virginian railroads; last March a commission examiner recommended a merger plan for the Erie and Lackawanna roads. Similarly, the Civil Aeronautics Board is moving toward the view that mergers, not subsidies or new routes, are the best way for the airlines industry to meet the formidable problems...
Speak Softly. Corcoran's major point was that the case concerned an initial license, thus differed from one involving contested rates or competing applicants. Following the orders of Gardiner Symonds, board chairman of Tennessee, Corcoran said, he visited the commissioners last fall to spur action before the expiration of a Canadian deadline to build the pipeline. Corcoran said that Symonds told him to "bluntly" tell the commissioners that Symonds was not "calling wolf, wolf" when he said he would not accept less than a 7% rate of return for the pipeline to pump Canadian gas to the Midwest...
