...times as many lines as he had last year (5 to 40). Other newcomers besides MacArthur: Generalissimo and Mme. Chiang Kaishek, Harry Hopkins, Lend-Lease Coordinator W. Averell Harriman, Admiral Harold R. Stark. Donald Nelson was in, but not Leon Henderson; Edward R. Stettinius was in, but not Henry Kaiser. Still in: Adolf Hitler; still out: Premier Hideki Tojo...
...unhappy picture for the peace. Yet no easy solution is in sight. The Maritime Commission would like to build more 18-knot C-type freighters. But there are two compelling reasons for sticking to the Liberty program: 1) the Liberty is far easier to build, and as Henry Kaiser and many another shipbuilder has shown, can be mass-produced; 2) the Liberty takes an old-fashioned reciprocating engine, easier and quicker to produce than the delicate high-speed turbines that must go into destroyers and some escort vessels. Geared turbines are at the moment more precious to the U.S. Navy...
Another real veteran is drummer Kaiser Marshall, who started drumming for Fletcher Henderson over twenty years ago. He was with Fletcher for over eight years, during which time the band reached its zenith and became the greatest jazz mer. He doesn't drum for the listeners, he drums for the band. He has a fine, crisp beat, and never get in the way of the soloists...
From California's chaparral-cloaked San Jose Valley last week came good news to the whole U.S.: after many a delay, Henry J. Kaiser's $6,000,000 Permanente Magnesium plant is finally over the hump. It is now producing at the rate of 4,500 tons of magnesium a year, enough to make magnesium parts for 9,000 heavy bombers. Although this is only one-third the production originally scheduled in 1941, the company expects to double output this month to the highest levels...
...Kaiser engineers also had trouble with Austrian Inventor Fritz Hansgirg, who kicked at changes in his carbo-thermic process. The U.S. took "Herr Doktor" into custody as an enemy alien in December 1941: Permanente barged ahead. To prevent explosions, Kaiser engineers soaked the magnesium dust in oil; to cut costs and save handling they started using petroleum coke (which contains pitch) instead of coke and pitch; to keep the furnaces going they invented new heat-resistant parts...
