on Oct. 15 has been ordered bv the SEC on
the company, a subsidiary of the United Light &
Railways Co., after Harry B. Munsell, Vice-President ■ of the former ?
concern, had testified about the plan.
The plan calls for the sale by
United, Light & Railways of common stocks of the Detroit Edison Co.,
Michigan
Consolidated Gas Co., Milwaukee Gas Light Co.,
and
Madison (Wis.) Gas & Electric Co., which it would receive upon the
liquidation.
The proceeds would be used to reduce senior-securities.
Mr. Munseli was cross-examined by Joseph L, Weiner, counsel for
the Allied Chemical & Dye Corp.. on the plan's provision to call for a
stockholders' vote on the liquidation.
Allied Chemical holds about

proposal that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Public

R. Prichard Jr. and others for $200,000, plus certain closing adjust¬

The Commission sanctioned acquisition by Mr. Prichard; Alexander
Macomber and John Wefet of 2,000 shares ($25 par)
capital stock of
Gas Service, Inc., which was formed by the applicants to
acquire the
New Hampshire
gas properties

The 2,000 shares are

A revolutionary new air-freight service was announced on Sept. 22
by this corporation as a result of its war-time experience in successfully carrying more than 22,000,000 pounds of cargo for the Army
(during the past 3% years.
•,f The new air-freight service will start after Nov. 1. At the outset
shipments will move between San Francisco and major out-of-State
cities such as Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago,
Washington,. New York and Boston.
Later, as equipment becomes
'available, the service will be extended to all cities served by Western
Air and by other airlines which make arrangements to carry air-cargo.
The air-freight service will enable Western Air to handle all types of
commodities, with four different freight-rates in effect.
The rate?
will range from a top of 45 cents a ton-mile to as low as 32 cents a
ton-mile.
In
terms of a specific shipment from the West Coast to
New York, the cost to a shipper would run as low as 37 cents per
pound. * A similar shipment to Boston would cost about 38 cents per

1944, individuals' holdings of
cash and deposits and U. S. Government securities amounted; to the
extremely large totals of $95 billion and $53 billion, respectively.
Of the total of cash and deposits $22 billion was in currency, $39
billion in time deposits, and $34 billion in demand deposits.
Individrials' holdings of U. S. Government securities were mainly concen¬
trated in U. S. savings bonds, amounting to $29 billion in Series A-E
bonds and $8 billion in F and G bonds, with other U. S. Govern¬
ment securities accounting for $16 billion.
"During 1944 individuals added $17.0. billion to their , currency
and bank deposits, $15.5 billion to their holdings of U. S, Govern¬
ment bonds, $4.4 billion to their equity in Government insurance,
$3.3 billion to their equity in private insurance, mostly life insur¬
ance, and $900 million to their investment in savings and loan asso¬
ciations.
At the same time individuals increased their consumer
indebtedness by $300 million and reduced their holdings of secur¬
