...Force last week gave Lockheed Aircraft Corp. a contract to turn out a turboprop cargo assault transport "in quantity," the first such U.S. production contract. Powered by four Allison engines, the squat, bulbous C-130 is designed for quick shuttling of tactical weapons in airborne assaults, has a ramp for hustling trucks and howitzers aboard and a rear opening for air drops. Retooling for production of the C-130 will start shortly at Lockheed's big Marietta, Ga. plant...
...snake through 953 miles of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, terminating at Norwalk, near Los Angeles. It will be able to carry an initial load of 180,000 bbls. of crude a day when it is completed in the fall of 1953. As a "common-carrier," it will transport oil of independent as well as major producers...
Best guess of oilmen was that Jones was trying to work out a deal to get Iranian oil not only for Cities Service but for a group of U.S. oil companies and Anglo-Iranian.

...million worth of planes and parts, including 1,000 of his P-61 Black Widow night fighters. Like many another builder, Northrop also lost millions on postwar ventures into nonaircraft projects (among Northrop's bad bets: motor scooters and calculating machines). He also bet on a three-engine transport plane and his long cherished Flying Wing. The transport was behind its time, the Flying Wing ahead of it. The Government, which had staked both to $80 million worth of postwar orders, canceled them, left Northrop floundering...
...fast catching up. While the British have only limited production of their best jet engines, Pratt & Whitney is now ready to mass-produce its powerful J-57; Westinghouse is getting ready to do the same with its J40 (see below). And while U.S. plane builders have built no jet transports, they are gathering plenty of experience with the big jet bombers like Boeing's 6-47 and 6-52. If the British cannot take advantage of their transport lead now, U.S. builders may soon overtake them...
