Naish, brother of Cinemactor J. Carrol Naish, graduated from Fordham in '29, learned the industry from the bottom (he started as a mechanic) before he joined Convair in 1947, became executive vice president in 1952. ¶Walter A. Haas Jr., 42, vice president of San Francisco's famed Levi Strauss & Co., stepped up to president, succeeding his uncle (by marriage), Daniel E. Koshland, 65. Haas represents the fourth generation...
