Last week the Defense Advisory Commission, whose price-hawk is Economist Leon Henderson, met 17 pulp & paper men (including Richard J. Cullen, president of vast International Paper & Power Co.) in Manhattan, got an agreement for no further rises. Both sides agreed on one important fact: total U. S. pulp-producing capacity is enough for all needs, except for a few specialties. Then, said the Commission, there is no excuse for carrying pulp prices higher. Pulpmen agreed that further price changes should result "only from actual changes in basic costs." Blamed for the pulp squeeze by both sides were "psychological factors...
Professor Bott borrowed the book, found it just the ticket. He had it photostated, translated by Major Velyien Ewart Henderson, and last week the University handed out the enemy's helpful manual to members of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Its prime points...
High Proof. Yale's Physiologist Yandell Henderson has his own ideas about alcoholism. Because drunkards thrive on hard liquor, always drink it straight, Dr. Henderson wants to dilute their liquor for them. He proposed high federal taxes on high-proof whiskey,* low taxes on low-proof.

Result: fewer drunkards. Such "as would be still produced would be addicted to 60 to 70 proof instead of 80 to 100 proof. And this would...
...Hillman was still ill. Fulltime U. S. officials who are to share his job (mobilizing trained man power where it is needed) buzzed ahead without him on plans to train 1,000.000 civilians, find immediately needed craftsmen, school 45,000 civilian pilots for a year (through CAA). Hulking Leon Henderson kept his SEC office; he can watch price trends as well from one place as another...
...pretty certain that there will be some action," said Leon Henderson, after the board conferred last week with Franklin Roosevelt. Preliminary action there was, and of a kind to please U. S. businessmen. From Mr. Stettinius, the President ordered a thorough overhaul of the complex, tape-bound Federal procurement setup. Franklin ("I'm the boss") Roosevelt eased Secretary of the Treasury Morgen: thau out of Mr. Knudsen's way, giving him a free hand to tackle his enormous task of upping aircraft and aircraft-engine production to the still astronomical figure of 50,000 a year. Also promised...
