leaving this point I would like to remind
members of the investment community that they
can no longer ignore savings and loan accounts as
an appropriate investment medium for their clients.
When yields on Federally insured obligations pay¬
able on demand push up to 4% and beyond, there
just isn't much in the securities market that is any
better.
With yields on common stocks at a low
level, and price-earnings ratios as high as they are,
the chances have lessened that appreciation in price
of common stocks vyill exceed the gains through
compound interest on savings accounts. This is one
of the facts in the market place, and a hard one
for securities-minded investment advisers to accept,
but they cannot serve their clients honestly if they
do not recognize it.
Loyalty of investment officers of trust funds to
commercial banking may blind them to the fact

$1 million less than in 1960, but transportation earn¬

ings before Federal income taxes, which include taxes on income
from all sources, were $6 million greater than in 1960.
The main
reason for the disproportionate increase in income taxes in i961.^was
the further drop in allowances for tax purposes in connection with
amortization of the cost of emergency facilities, to, which attention
has been called in previous years. Apart from the income tax factor,
transportation income after lagging in the early months showed
steady improvement as the year progressed, because of the gradual
rise in general business activity.

Oct. 30,

1961 it was reported that the CAB had approved
the company's plan to sell its 400,000 share holdings of
National Airlines, Inc.
However, it said Pan Am must
start selling the stock within one year and complete the
sale by July 15, 1964. The stock was originally obtained
under a Sept. 9, 1958 agreement under which the two
carriers agreed to a share-for-share exchange of 400,000
shares and lease of each other's jet planes .during their
respective busiest seasons. The CAB .later disapproved
this plan and ordered the airlines to divest themselves
of the stock. Office—135 East 42nd St, N. Y. Under¬
