Aleman sent López Mateos off to international conferences in Washington (where he developed a taste for U.S. cheesecake from Duke Zeibert's Restaurant), Argentina and Switzerland, and appointed him Ambassador to Costa Rica. Moving higher in government circles, he met a top bureaucrat named Adolfo Ruiz Cortines. Soon the two Adolfos were taking long and friendly walks through the city at night. When Ruiz Cortines was nominated as P.R.I.'s presidential candidate in 1951, he got López Mateos to manage his campaign. López Mateos did so well that on inauguration...
Into Maggie's Arms. Last year Dr. O'Gorman got an odd idea, hesitated ("It did seem a bit cracked"), finally went ahead. To create human relationships for the children, he called on 20 of Borocourt's higher-grade mentally defective young women. He allowed each to act as a Big Sister to two Smiths children, told them to cuddle their charges (under nurses' supervision) as much as they wanted. They promptly worked wonders...
...Clarence Sayen, 39, also talked tough. Sayen, once a professional pilot for Braniff, blasted American Airlines as having the "worst goddamned labor relations of practically any industry." For 17 months at American, company and union have been feuding not only over the third man but over hefty demands for higher pay, shorter hours for pilots (65 in the air instead of the present 85 a month), fatter retirement benefits, increased meal and overnight room allowances. The big item is pay. The average DC-7 captain gets $19,221 a year: American is offering $22,743 to fly turboprop Electras...
...Demand. The failure is not confined to American and its pilots. It is industrywide. Last week even the stewardesses at little Lake Central Airlines (2,281 route miles in the Midwest) were striking for higher pay. (But this time the pilots, who had helped organize the stewardesses, walked through their picket line and kept flying; the pilots also own stock in the line.) Pan American World Airways also faces union trouble. Its A.L.P.A. pilots want up to $45,000 a year jet pay, have already forced a slowdown in jet schedules to Europe because they refuse to fly without...
Because there is a higher net per car as volume increases, American Motors' profits are soaring far higher than the record $4.65 per share posted in fiscal '58. Romney expects to net a minimum of $17.5 million in the first six months, compared to $7.329,631 in the same period a year ago. Wall Streeters are just as optimistic; they figure that if Romney can keep up the hot pace and sell 325,000 cars in the whole year, American Motors will net upwards of $14 a share before taxes. Rambler is not only doing well...
