...place bounded hard-driving Hugh Baillie, executive vice president. Lean, bristle-haired, Hugh Baillie talks like a drill sergeant, moves like a football halfback. For a year he has shouldered most of the presidential responsibilities at U. P.'s Manhattan headquarters. By Karl Bickel's age formula. President Baillie's tenure should be six years...
