A man came in to buy a coat for his wife, tried in vain to describe her proportions-until he spotted the store's 6 ft. 175 Ib. owner. "That's her size," said he.

Thomas of Norwalk, Conn, was offering nickel at $4.50 a Ib. After questioning Thomas and others, the committee discovered nickel was so short even such giants as General Electric and Westinghouse were buying in the black market. G.E.'s small-appliances division, for example, paid Thomas $4.50 a Ib. for 10,000 Ibs. of nickel anodes which had passed through...
