...been painfully tiring. Trudging over the tough, 6,680-yd. Lake Course at San Francisco's Olympic Club, the Oklahoma oil broker rested on a shooting stick between each stroke, burying his face in his hands and moodily wondering how to get his drives out of the rough and his putts into the hole. Still, the 1949 Amateur champ and veteran Walker Cupper somehow got through each round, finally defeated Ohio Blanket Salesman Roger McManus 3 and 2 on the 34th hole to make it to the finals...
...will be slippery. Though Litton's profits reached $3,700,000 in the last fiscal year, they have yet to live up to the price of his highly touted, fast-rising stock, now selling at 56^-or 26 times earnings. The competition in the industry is growing so rough that competitors still question whether Litton is strong enough to compete over the long run. Tex Thornton himself expects that many a promising, new electronics maker will be shaken out of the industry. Says he: "The same thing will happen in the relatively new electronics-based industry as in autos...
During the campaign, Milton, avoiding the scarring, jarring rough and tumble of partisan politics, played only a minor part. But once election was won, he took charge of an exhaustive preparation for office. A management-survey firm was hired, at his suggestion, to draft detailed analyses of each federal department and major agency. This sort of efficient staff work, at which both brothers excel, helped Ike take over in 1953 without any serious administrative hitches...
...together by rods. Says Hildebrand: "We have taken out the rods and put in dotted lines to represent axes. That way nobody will mistake them for anything physical." Middleman-and translator-between the chemists and the cinemakers is Earl Mortensen, one of Eyring's graduate students. He draws rough sketches of reactions, helps Sutherland's art director with their translation into smooth, readily understood pictures. Hildebrand's committee reviews screen tests of animated reactions (it turned down six of the first eight shown) and reworking begins. When the first classes see the two $50.000 films next spring...
...died last week at the hands of the House of Representatives. Originally put forward to bolster prices in five depressed industries (copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, fluorspar) -and incidentally win support for the President's reciprocal trade program from mining-state Congressmen-the $458 million support program ran into rough going after passing the Senate. Chief reason: many Congressmen felt that the bill would aid mainly those big international producers who are making money anyway and are doing most of the importing that has helped depress domestic prices. Another point not lost on a Congress increasingly mindful of the problems...
