Defense Department's order will cut costs (average aircraft-factory worker earns $10.84 weekly overtime) but aggravate engineer shortage, now so acute that until recently California planemakers kept engineers on steady overtime. BIGGEST SHOPPING CENTER in southeast U.S. will be built in Miami for $15 million by Alcoa Chairman Arthur Vining Davis, 89, and other investors.
