Even after the steel strike ends, industry will face a host of other problems. Companies that have exhausted their inventories will have to wait for new stock before they can resume production, even then will need several days to get their plants humming again. Moving ore to steel plants is almost certain to be a problem. The Great Lakes ore fleet, most of which is idled by the strike, has little more than a month left before the lakes freeze over, may not be able to supply enough iron ore to keep the mills operating until spring. Even...
...came Edgar and a group of University of California college friends, including Eugene E. Trefethen Jr., new vice chairman of several Kaiser companies, and D. A. ("Dusty") Rhoades, new president of Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp. When Henry J. won a contract to build the main spillway dam at Bonneville, Ore. in the mid '30s, he turned the job over to Edgar, then 25, and Clay Bedford, a boyhood chum, who is now general manager of Kaiser Aircraft & Electronics. Swift currents and widely varying water levels made the job a tough problem-but the dam was finished a year ahead...

At Vladivostok, citizens flooded...
Last week he was busy filling orders for 15 ore carriers, bulk carriers, tankers and escort vessels for U.S. companies and the German navy. His ultramodern yard sends ships down the ways so fast that Schlieker does not even bother to take down tents and grandstands used for launching ceremonies. The 300,000-sq.-ft. yard has the biggest (capacity: 100,000 tons) drydock in Europe, an optical tracing device that projects cutting patterns on steel plates. Overseeing all is an electronic brain named "Big Brother" that tells Schlieker which machines have not worked at full capacity and why. From...
