...wine-press California claret is the equal of Château Mouton Rothschild 1929. What he does think and many sound wine critics concede is that in its class California wine does not have to bow to the snobbish claims of foreign wine. And even connoisseurs are no longer so outraged as they were once when they heard cheap foreign wines selling at $1 or so a bottle compared with California wine selling for $1 or so a gallon.

Although he got no trip to Europe, and his office furniture was left intact, William C. Cowling was no longer Ford's sales manager last week, after 23 years of service, six as head of sales. Guessers were kept busy finding reasons for the unexplained dismissal which surprised Fordling Cowling and shocked his admirers, but those most frequently mentioned were his pronounced independence and the habit formed by some...
