...that great crew coach Tom Bolles, a magician at shaking up crewmen to find the right combination, has moved upstairs to replace William J. Bingham '16 as Harvard's Director of Athletics, national regatta eyes will be on his successor, former freshman coach Harvey Love. Next spring could tell the story of whether or not Love can match Bolles' wizardry, for it is an established fact that he has the top material to work with...
...Since Harvey was an unknown in the aluminum-producing business, aluminum's Big Three-Alcoa, Reynolds and Kaiser-flinched a bit at the news that the Government was dealing him in as No. 4 at their table. But Leo Harvey pointed out that Reynolds and Kaiser also had very little experience in making aluminum until the Government put them in the business...
Stretching the String. Like Henry Kaiser himself, Leo Harvey has the knack of getting what he wants from the Government and working a shoestring into a golden cord. His shoestring was the one-man Los Angeles machine shop which he started in 1913. Born in Latvia, Harvey had learned the machinist's trade in Germany before coming to the U.S. at 20. His shop prospered with World War I orders for parts for the Curtiss "Jenny," afterward, did a tidy business machining brass and aluminum parts. World War II's demand for aluminum plane parts spread his company...
Golden Cord. He began his campaign to make his own aluminum because, he said, the Big Three withheld supplies to independent fabricators. First of all, he would need cheap electric power.

Only two weeks ago (TIME, Aug. 27), the Defense Production Administration indicated that it would reject Harvey's plan, for failure to agree on terms. The loan had been conditioned on his raising $7,000,000 capital of his own, and the most he could scrape up was half that amount. Last week DPA changed its mind, approved the loan to Harvey anyway. Under the terms, he has 18 months to raise the other $3,500,000, but he can draw from RFC on the loan as soon as he puts up $2,000,000 in working capital...
