...bespectacled University of Wisconsin junior named Don Gehrmann, making his bigtime indoor debut. For weeks, track circles had buzzed with rumors about Gehrmann's sensational time trials in Madison: his coaches claimed to have clocked him in 4:06.1, only .8 sec. off Gil Dodds's indoor record. If that was not a mistake, Gehrmann could be the best miler on the boards...

...bigger dish of cream-the huge road-building and heavy construction programs which the war had deferred. Last week, with his order backlog so heavy that he has to put his customers on allocations, Neumiller was sure that 1949's sales would outstrip even 1948's alltime record-unless business goes to pot. Even then, thinks Neumiller, plenty of Cats would be needed in public works projects...
