Chained Seal. At 37, Milton Caniff was a widely imitated, $70,000-a-year success. His Terry strip was on the radio; a Douglas Fairbanks Jr. movie was in the works. Why give it all up? For a reason of his own, Caniff wanted more. In Florida, when he was 18, he was bitten by a mosquito and got phlebitis, an inflammation of the veins that made the Army-and insurance doctors-turn him down. Because of his quick-clotting blood, says Caniff, "even a bad bump on the leg could bump...
...Takers. But the other Bretton Woods twin, the World Bank, was not growing up to be such a credit to its founders. It was beginning to be regarded as almost a wayward child. There was still no taker for the $30,000-a-year job (tax free) which President Eugene Meyer resigned. And the Bank itself, with an assist from Treasury Secretary John W.

It has 33,645 members banded together in credit unions, who have lent one another over $9,000,000. In the Maritimes as a whole 100,000 members have joined coops...
Coleman did such a bang-up job that when President Alfred J. Doughty retired, there was no competition for his $36,000-a-year job. Now Coleman, who will boss operations (new board chairman Laurence V. Britt will lay down policy), intends to cut out at least 80% of Burroughs' 400 models, mass-produce the rest. He will have to eat up Burroughs' big backlog of $63 million in orders. Unlike others, Burroughs has benefited from increased Government regulation and complicated tax laws. They have made figuring machines a No. 1 necessity to businessmen...
