...Valiance) Bell, editor & publisher of Business Week and former superintendent of banks in New York state. Bell, who was considered in line for Secretary of the Treasury if Dewey had won in 1948, took note of such things as tightening money rates, weakness in commodity prices, narrowing profit margins and the approaching peak in arms spending. Said he: "Whether the boom lasts six months or two years more, the new Republican Administration will probably have to deal with a major business setback." On the other hand, said Bell in the if-and-but manner of most pundits, "most businessmen think...
...these departments, architecture and landscape architecture, possess over ninety percent of the school's outside funds, while the third, regional planning, can claim only one endowed chair. Regional planning, however, controls a good portion of Design's budget and without it the department would operate at a profit. One may argue that regional planning would fit easily into another department, for instance public administration. Regional planning is not pure design; it combines the principles of space, color, and materials, with the social sciences; economics, sociology, anthropology, geography, and government.

In addition to getting a firm toehold on the Canadian market with the help of a well-known Dominion name, Sears will cash in on Canada's lower tax rates (52% maximum v. 69% in the U.S.). For its part, Simpsons will benefit from Sears's vast retailing and merchandising experience, which has developed such cost-cutting methods as bulk buying and close cooperation with manufacturers (TIME, Feb. 25). The two partners dovetail in another way: Simpsons' mail-order business has always run two to one in favor...
...clear that the quintuple fumbles on the C-119 had kept K-F afloat. Last week Kaiser reported that K-F was in the black for the first time in four years, with a third-quarter net of $344,064. All the profit was due to defense work, chiefly the C-119 contract; K-F's auto operations lost $175,094 in the quarter. In the first nine months of 1952, said Kaiser, the company lost $8,700,000 on $98 million in auto sales, whereas on $17 million more in defense work it netted...
