...Donald Douglas' job. Primarily a designer, he can and does fly a plane on occasion, but he doesn't like flying very much. What he does like, besides sailing, is building planes for other men to fly. DC-4 was the work of scores of experts, the result of the most intricate plans ever drawn for a single plane. But, though Douglas himself did not drive a single one of the 1,300,000 rivets in DC-4's skin & bones, he knows exactly where each one is and why it is there, knows how many hours...
...preferred sailing on the Severn and making model airplanes to studying navigation and naval tactics. One day Midshipman Douglas climbed to the second floor of the Naval Academy dormitory, let fly a glider he had built. The toy banked, swooped, hit a passing admiral on the head. The result: Donald Douglas left Annapolis abruptly, next year took up the study of aeronautics at M. I. T. After his graduation he worked for Glenn L. Martin, then one of the foremost U. S. airplane designers. First he was an engineer, then was put in charge of Martin's Cleveland factory...

The boyish ease with which they outwit this official indicates that the art of spying has come a long way since...

Result has been the bitterest of all the battles between Franklin Roosevelt and Big Business and the loser has been the nation: instead of spending their normal $700,000,000 a year in expansion and replacement, the utilities have been getting along on $130,000,000. When renewed Depression jabbed this...
...demand, proration figures have unquestionably been too high. The Petroleum Institute in April stated that 2,600,000 barrels a day (except for California, which has no proration laws) would be about right. The States east of California have actually been producing almost 2,700,000 barrels. As a result, refineries have built up immense inventories- 92,000,000 barrels of gasoline in March...
