...notables as Supreme Court Justices Byron White and Potter Stewart and Poverty Potentate Sargent Shriver, Locke was a Navy gunnery officer during World War II; his ship landed a Marine force in the Solomons led by Lieut. Colonel Victor ("Brute") Krulak-now Marine commander i.i the Pacific.

Swamped with a $3 billion backlog of orders, Douglas has burned up its financial resources attempting to accelerate production. In September, the company reported nine-month losses of $16.4 million. And despite a record November output of twelve commercial jet transports worth $38 million, Douglas is four months behind in its delivery dates, slipping further because of continuing shortages of skilled aircraft workers and a lag in deliveries of jet engines and other items from...
