Catfish Hunter Plane Tied to Steinbrenner Cash Tears
A Jet Commander tied to Steinbrenner owned assets carried Jim Hunter, known as Catfish, from Lorain County to Ahoskie and on to New York and Tampa. The flight, tied to Hill Associates and Steinbrenner linked firms, reflects Hill bankruptcy woes with Yankees owner Steinbrenner named in ownership chains though not as an investor in the Hill case. The FAA records show registration changes from N100TH to N101GS as the craft moved through Cleveland, LaGuardia, and Tampa, with two unidentified men aboard after landing in New York.

Exxon Tops GM as U S Biggest Firm
Exxon Corp moved past General Motors to claim the No 1 U S corporate ranking in 1974 with sales of 45.8 billion and profits of 3.14 billion while GM posted 31.5 billion in sales and 0.95 billion in profits. The energy crisis and recession drove the shift. GM cut its dividend for the first time in 29 years. American Motors posted a loss for the quarter, Ford and Chrysler to report later. GM Chairman Murphy blamed higher costs and lagging price increases for the weak year. The Commerce Department noted construction spending fell 1 percent in 1974, the second yearly decline on record, with unemployment in building up to 30 percent at times. Housing starts in Atlanta reached 1.3 million after years above 2 million, with prospects improving as rates decline and mortgage money expands.

Ford warns cheap energy era ends amid living standard decline
President Ford and the Council of Economic Advisers warned Americans face a deeper drop in living standards, higher unemployment, and steadily rising energy costs. The 1976 budget and a 384 page economic report project a slow recovery in late 1975, with unemployment averaging about 8 percent, and domestic oil prices expected to stay high to spur investment in alternative energy. The report stresses policy must halt the production and employment decline while accepting higher energy prices.
