Humming. The automobile industry was heartier than ever. Chrysler Corp. reported a record nine-month net of $59,887,601 (up 25%). Packard's net for the same period was $9,488,336 (v. a $131,478 loss in the 1947 period). Kaiser-Frazer turned in $8,253,451 after deducting $5,900,000 in taxes (v. $6,089,000 in the 1947 period, when no taxes were paid. K-F's earnings were tax-free because of a carry-back).

To reporters who pry into his political plans he talks on & on-about the need to develop new inventions, the need to build 550,000 new houses, how much more employment was provided by the aggressive commercial development of the gasoline engine than...
...plebiscite be held in Bessarabia to settle to whom it shall belong, but up to last week Rumania had always nose-thumbed such proposals. In Soviet schoolrooms moppets find in their geography books that Bessarabia has never ceased to belong to Russia and unquestionably J. Stalin has an even heartier appetite for it than he has for gobbling Polish territory...
