...Grand Ledge, Mich. But the player who attracted the largest crowd was Open Champion Dwight K. Hubbard, 51, of Janesville, Wis. Champion Hubbard, onetime football coach, has been shuffling for ten years, has won the national championship six times. He already has more medals and ribbons than he can shake a shuffle-stick at. At week's end, it looked as if he might win another-if it would ever stop raining in Florida's famed Sunshine City...
Across the Pacific from Pearl Harbor, where the Pacific Fleet is based, the U. S.'s third fleet, the Asiatic, last week kept a wary eye cocked on Japan and the combustible China coast. But the shake-up did not shake it much.

Mr. Steere's stockholders of course got nothing, but since C. & O. owned other C. & E. I. securities, it will wind up with 12% of the new voting stock (16% if its bonds are converted)-the largest single voting block. For continuity's sake the reorganizers also left Charles...
