He said: "Let the younger fellow's take over." and Bull Halsey's officers-Forrest Sherman, Arthur Radford, Mick Carney, Arleigh Burke-did. He put in a stint for International Telephone & Telegraph Corp., launched but lost a fund-raising drive to save his old flagship Big E from the scrap heap. "Remember!" he rasped. "Scrapped ships will not rest peacefully in deep blue waters beside the gallant Lexington, Wasp, Hornet, Houston, Atlanta, and all the brave others. Our Navy must remain strong!" Last week...

...dividends of increased production and cost-cutting automation. Last week Goodyear Tire & Rubber announced an "anti-inflation" cut of 5% to 15% in prices of replacement tires. Norge reduced its washer and dryer tags as much as 10%. The Federal Communications Commission chimed in, ordered a reluctant American Telephone & Telegraph Co. to reduce long-distance telephone rates (for calls of more than 300 miles) by $50 million. In heavy industry-where cuts trickle down eventually to the consumer-General Electric lopped 5% to 20% off the prices of some transformers.
