...expert on the Dow theory, went even further. "The current rise is still the first primary rise of this bull market," wrote he. "Barring war [it] is likely to run into 1951 and above 300 for the industrial average." And J. H. Allen of Manhattan's Cohu & Co. bravely predicted that this was only the beginning. "The market at the present time may bear a position somewhat similar to 1924 [when it began an ultimate 296-point rise]." This was not as fantastic as it sounded; if the stocks in the Dow-Jones industrial index rose until they sold...
This week Howard Hughes considered himself fortunate. He picked Damon as T.W.A. president to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of La Motte Cohu last June...
Plane Prex. La Motte T. Cohu, who resigned as T.W.A. president last month, was named to succeed ailing Harry Woodhead as president of Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corp. Cohu was chairman and general manager of Northrop Aircraft, Inc. for eight years before his term with money-losing T.W.A.

Due chiefly to Cohu's payroll slashing, its $8,000,000 loss in 1947 was only a little more than half the loss of 1946. But only three weeks ago, T.W.A. notified the Civil Aeronautics Board that it was so short of cash that it would be "unable to continue even a semblance of its present service" unless it got a $3.000,000 boost in foreign mail rates-and got it right now. Moreover, only two weeks ago Cohu...
...Cohu, like Jack Frye before him, had flown into a squall with T.W.A.'s controlling stockholder, Howard Hughes. Cohu asked Hughes for complete authority to run the line, and had suggested that Hughes put his stock into a trusteeship which Cohu could control. Hughes refused and there was nothing left for Cohu to do but get out. Cohu was reportedly set to take a top job with Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corp. Likeliest bet to succeed him in T.W.A. was Lieut. General Harold Lee George (ret.), who ran the ATC during the war, and until recently bossed Peruvian International Airways...
