...Pont; Greenewalt moves up to chairman of the board after 14 years as president. While Greenewalt will "guide policy decisions," Du Font's operations will be run by Copeland, who joined the family firm shortly after graduating from Harvard (B.S. in engineering, '28) and, save for a four-month layoff during the Depression, has been with it ever since.

Carpenter Jr., 74, who wanted to stay on as chairman until the completion of Du Font's long and vain battle...

Last week American Motors began sending out $25 bonds to 34,971 car buyers. Among the recipients: General Motors Corp., which had purchased one Rambler, presumably for testing purposes...
Successful Maneuvers. Last August Burke and his aides launched Operation Unitas, an unprecedented, four-month, South American antisub exercise. A U.S. task force centered around the sub Odax rendezvoused first with the Venezuelan and Colombian fleets in the Caribbean, then maneuvered with Ecuador's navy, turned south and linked up simultaneously with the Peruvian and Chilean navies. Finally, it conducted a four-nation maneuver with Argentine, Uruguayan and Brazilian ships. The operation's longest air patrol, 11 hr. and 15 min., was flown by a Brazilian Neptune, which circled so aggressively over its sub-contact area that...
