Billion $ Club Boasts
45 Member Corporations
NEW YORK (UPI) — The United States has 45 giant corporations in the billion - dollar-a-year class, according to "News Front," a magazine for management. Among them they produce one-fourth of the nation's entire gross national product.
Heading the so - called "billion dollar club" is General Motors, followed by Standard Oil of New Jersey, American Telephone & Telegraph, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., Ford Motors, General Electric, Sears Roebuck, U.S. Steel, Socony Mobil, and Gulf Oil ranked in that order among the top ten.
In 1957 there were 47 corporations in the billion - dollar category, according to "News Front," but three fell below the magic mark in 1958 while one climbed into it. Those which dropped just under the billion mark last year were North American Aviation, which fell from $1,255 million to $904 million, Republic Steel from $1,227 million to $910 million, and Armco Steel from $1,074 million to $910 million, "News Front" reported.
The newcomer to the exclusive billion - dollar rank, the magazine said, was General Foods whose sales rose from $986 million in 1957 to $1,009 million last year.

Colonel Detained After Bouncing Enlisted Men
(Continued From Page 1)
He ordered a major to bump the enlisted men, Kindl said. The major told the colonel he "was doing wrong," the airman said.
"But a direct order is a direct order and you don't disobey them."
The airmen "personally appealed to the colonel to permit us to make the flight," Kindl said.
"But he paid no attention to us. He merely turned away."
Kindl said the enlisted men "appealed directly to General Burns for help and he was kind enough to take some action. We sent him a sincere note of thanks for what he did."
Burns personally ordered the plane back to Tachikawa Air Force Base 30 minutes after it had left for Honolulu with the colonel, his wife and four children.
The general went to the base to make sure the enlisted men got on board.
Investigation Underway
An Air Force spokesman said the investigation was being conducted personally by the 5th Air Force inspector general and would be completed in a few days.
Kindl said the plane had to dump large quantities of fuel as a safety measure before landing back in Japan.
He said he had been in Korea six months when his son died. He said he hoped to obtain a transfer to his home town here where an air base is located because it "would be pretty hard to leave my wife now that our son is dead."
Airman 3C Gordon N. Read said in Ithica, N. Y., that the incident caused him to miss his mother's funeral.
"I if I hadn't been bumped, I'd have made it for sure," he said.
The seven enlisted men already
Student Driver Hurt In Truck Collision
LA HABRA (OCNS) — A brand new pickup truck driven by a La Habra high school student was "totally" damaged here at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday in a head-on collision on Fullerton Road, just north of Imperial Hwy, and a few feet outside the city's limits.
The high school youth, Thomas Beidleman, 17, 14807 Lanacita St., La Mirada, is in St. Jude's Hospital today reported in good condition after undergoing surgery. His companion, Dale Paisley, 17, 3313 Teton Ave., Fullerton, was treated and released from the same hospital.
The other vehicle was a flat-bed truck driven by Wilbur O. Stevens, 35, of Azusa.
According to the report of the California Highway Patrol, the boys were coming south on Fullerton Road, while Stevens was driving north. Stevens and witnesses are quoted as saying that another northbound car, in front of Stevens' flat-bed truck, suddenly slowed to make a right turn into the Beckman Instrument plant.
In skidding to a stop, Stevens truck crossed the white line and smashed head-on into the pickup truck driven by Beidleman, according to diagrams prepared by the highway patrol.
Stevens was uninjured, but his flat-bed sustained major damage.
He said he had been in Korea six months when his son died. He said he hoped to obtain a transfer to his home town where an air base is located because it "would be pretty hard to leave my wife now that our son is dead."
Airman 3C Gordon N. Read said in Ithica, N.Y., that the incident caused him to miss his mother's funeral.
"If I hadn't been bumped, I'd have made it for sure," he said.
The seven enlisted men already were at the airport when the order bumping them came through.
Airman Bell, who appeared desperate to reach his mother's side, telephoned - the general at his quarters to complain, but the plane was in the air five minutes before his call was put through.
The Air Force said Burns promptly called officials at the air base to learn whether Bell's complaint was justified and then "ordered the aircraft, which had departed approximately one - half hour previously, to return to Tachikawa."
"He became a real hero with the airmen around the place," one Air Force officer said.
The Air Force said the investigation hoped to learn who ordered the enlisted men taken off the plane and why seven men had to be bumped to make room for the six members in the officer's family.
