...sized barber shop to a plant covering 1,315,974 square feet are two: He believes that it takes dreamers and technicians, not businessmen, to make airplanes; he has the uncanny ability of finding the right experts from among his old cronies. Donald Douglas has surrounded himself with a group of congenial, practical-minded Jules Vernes. Perhaps the most important of these is Arthur E. Raymond.

Baptists may well be the most sizable group of Christians who will not march toward world church unity with the World Council of Churches (see col. 2). Last week in Richmond.
