Until she declared war on the Axis, things were almost as bad in Brazil. Biggest sore spot was the huge 6,000-mile Condor line, which wants to get back some of the 4,000 route miles it has lost since 1940, would just as soon take them from U.S. airlines as anybody else. German-run and German-controlled only nine months ago, Condor was nationalized after Pearl Harbor. But until the day Brazil went to war Condor's managing director was tall, bald Ernesto Hoelck, who speaks an excellent brand of German-accented Portuguese. So the U.S. kept...
...Post story, blew up. In groups and singly, dozens walked in to Reese Taylor and tossed resignations on his desk. They were in revolt. Taylor could not answer their angry argument that discipline was impossible if any WPB hireling could publicly indict everybody else. Taylor, too, was sore. He stomped off to Nelson...
...scrap started when the exchange jolted its members, bluntly told them not to help nonmember firm Dillon, Read & Co. sell 50,000 shares of Standard Oil of Indiana in the over-the-counter market.

In Detroit, production and labor relations were snarled by bad morale (see p. 17). But in thousands of other plants, while the picture was not heartening, it was at least normal...
...workers at Bayonne actually made more money than most of them ever made in their lives - an average of $46.25 for the men and $30.72 for the women, according to WLB. But still they were disappointed that they weren't making still bigger money. They got sore when WLB turned down their demand for a 10?-an-hour increase on the grounds that they were making plenty already and that their pay had already been upped more than 15% since Jan. 1, 1941. Against advice of older workers and the International Brotherhood, they voted an outlaw strike-the first...
