...they knew that Chungking prices had risen 2,000% since the beginning of the war. (In U.S. terms, a package of cigarets would cost $3, a man's shirt $50, a pair of medium-priced woman's shoes $160. One might, with luck, buy a bottle of Scotch for $60, but a quart of champagne would cost over...
...like tall boys," says Baggett, 6 ft. 4 himself and no mean basketball player when he was a student at Ouachita College in Arkadelphia, Ark.

The rest of the program, mostly "ugly ducklings," will get easy-to-make reciprocating engines and old-type Scotch boilers (which can be replaced by modern innards after the war). To the shipbuilders, even 1943's 10,000,000 tons looked easy last week...
