...While the political argument about the Dixon-Yates power contract yowled on, with Tennessee's White House-bent Senator Estes Kefauver making the loudest noises, the Senate passed the bill to appropriate $6,500,000 for construction of transmission lines into Memphis from the site of the proposed Dixon-Yates plant. The appropriation will be nullified if, within 90 days, Memphis makes a definite commitment to build its own steam plant. If Memphis does indeed build its own plant, the proposed Dixon-Yates plant will be unnecessary, and the U.S. will cancel its contract with Dixon-Yates...
...peninsula shore. Two wealthy Japanese Christians donated money to build a central hall and two dormitories. A new colony, called Airaku-en (Garden of the Haven of Love) was started, and Aoki became its manager. The following year the Japanese government decided to use Aoki's site for its leprosarium, built a hospital and several other buildings. The colony's population jumped from 42 to 242, and some blamed Aoki for the government's brutally efficient gathering process.

Some years ago he assembled his Detroit staff to meet two visiting Congressmen, one of whom remarked archly about the collection of secretarial beauties. Walter looked up and stared at them in surprise before it dawned on him that the Congressman was right. Said one of the girls later: "I honestly think...
Nobody is more concerned about water than U.S. industry, which already uses about 80 billion gallons daily, will siphon off 200 billion gallons daily (exclusive of water power) by 1975. Whatever the product, the choice of any plant site often depends on how much fresh water is available. After World War II, for example, General Motors wanted to take over a Lima (Ohio) plant that it had operated for the Government, but backed out because it could not get a guarantee of future water supplies. Ford Motor Co. built a huge new plant at Walton Hills, outside Cleveland, but only...
