Corporations in U.S. With Total
Assets of SI Billion Increases
New York (U.R) The number
of American corporations with
total assets of SI billion or more
now stands at a record 81, a
United Press survey shows.
Industry added four new cor
porate billionaires in 1956,
climaxing another booming year
of economic growth.
Lilt Almost Doubled
The list of billion-dollar giants
has almost doubled since the end
of World War II, mirroring the
nation's fabulous postwar growth
and prosperity.
The 81 companies in the "bil
lion dollar club" had assets ag
gregating $241,447,251,425 at
the end of 1956. That was equi
valent to more than $1,400 for
each man, woman and child now
living in the United States.
At the end of 1955, these 81
firms boasted total assets of
$228,315,487,311. The sharp in
crease recorded in 1956 reflected
the record $35 billion spent for
expansion and modernization by
companies producting everything
from hairpins to automobiles.
Bell Ranks First
The Bell Telephone System re
tained its ranking as the world's
biggest business enterprise with
total assets of $16,206,571,233.
It was the first time assets of
any company had ever topped
$16 billion.
- Metropolitan Life was the next
biggest, followed in order by
Prudential Insurance, Bank of
America, Equitable Life Assur
ance Society, and Standard Oil
Co. (New Jersey).
America has a virtual monop
oly on corporate billionaires.
England has a few such giants,
Including Royal Dutch-Shell, Im
perial Chemicals and British
Petroleum. Canada lists Alumi
nium, Canadian Pacific Railroad,
Canadian National Railways and
two banks in this exclusive
group.
The newcomers to the Ameri
ca list last year were Massachu
m e 1 1 s Investors Trust, the na
to's oldest and biggest invest
atemt company; Chesapeake &
Oki Railway, the seventh rail
Mad to join; Detroit Bank &
Trust Co., the 25th bank in the
Conviction Upheld
For Josephine Man
Sale m (U.R) Conviction of
William Lester Schleigh, Jose
phine county, of wilfully, and
valiciously setting a fire has
keen affirmed by the Oregon
Supreme Court.
Schleigh contended that a pur
ported confession was not suf
ficiene to warrant his convic
tion without some other proof of
the crime, but the high court
held that all the evidence in the
case was ample to establish the
crime."
The court said the trial jury
was entitled to assume that
sat or eight fires do not start
by spontaneous combustion along
both sides of a road, all within
30 minutes. The jurists noted
that evidence showed such fires
started immediately after the
passing of a red pickup truck
occupied by Schleigh and hisj
father.
Conviction of the father, Wil
liam Clarence Schleigh, on- the
same charge was also affirmed
by the court.

Of the 81 companies in the list,
all but 13 showed increases in
total assets during 1956. Eight
of the companies suffering de
clines in assets were banks.
Nation's Biggest Employers
The companies included in the
list affect almost every facet of
American life. They are the na
tion's biggest employers, its big
gest corporate taxpayers and the
most popular with the nation's
investors.
The billion dollar club is one
of the barometers of the na
tion's postwar economic growth.
