...rolling sugar plantation country around Pahala on the island of Hawaii, Dr. Robert Kaufman noted that his daughter Suzanne, 8, looked "awfully healthy." A week later Dr. Kaufman took a look at his son Philip, 6, and asked his wife: "Is Philip getting unusually healthy or have you been putting rouge on him?" Mrs. Kaufman laughed at the suggestion. Soon Dr. Kaufman realized that all his five children had some malady, and he described its symptoms to Territorial Epidemiologist James Enright in Honolulu...
...Kaufman Thuma ("K.T.") Keller, 70, will retire April 17 as board chairman of Chrysler Corp. after 30 years of service, half of it as president. In 1950 Keller turned over the operating job to President Lester Lum ("Tex") Colbert, since then has devoted much of his time to activities such as getting the U.S. guided-missile program off the ground (TIME, Jan. 30). Another change at Chrysler: F. W. Misch, 50, vice president, will move up to corporation finance officer, succeeding Financial Wizard George W. Troost, 53, Chrysler's No. 2 man, who died last week after a brain...

Freeman told how in 1938 he and his wife (once a reporter herself) were persuaded by Milton Kaufman, then executive vice president of the American Newspaper Guild, that the Communist Party was the "leading influence" in the Guild. But at his first meeting of the New York Times unit of the Communist Party, he was shocked to find himself the only member of the editorial department, although there were half a dozen other Times employees there. A year later Freeman broke with the Communists...
...Milton Kaufman, once the executive vice president of the American Newspaper Guild, now an outdoor salesman, invoked the Fifth Amendment's protection. Monroe Stern, onetime Hearst writer and president of the New York Guild local, who became pressagent for the Yugoslav embassy, told the committee he never was a party member. Jack Ryan, a commissar of the New York Guild local until 1947, said he was now a self-employed "horticultural researcher"; he, like others, invoked the Fifth Amendment...
