With these two in the corral, he went after Connecticut Telephone & Electric Corp. (interphone systems, signal alarms, aviation equipment), last month arranged a share-for-share swap with his Great American...

Last summer, while distillers were still romping outside the defense corral, he put his ideas on paper, sent them to President Roosevelt, his good friend Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, his many distilling pals. Main points of the report: 1) by re-using containers (now restricted by law) the industry could save 500,000 oaken barrels, 700,000,000 bottles, 20,000,000 paperboard cases annually. 2) With the "thin slop" now thrown away, the industry could feed vitamin B2 to millions of cattle...
