...spate of orders will force the conversion of present automaking plants, tools and man power. Chevrolet, which got a new $89,075,000 War Department contract for 1,000 Pratt & Whitney airplane engines a month, has already prepared to convert all of its automobile facilities in Buffalo and Tonawanda to their manufacture. Other orders: To Ford, $140,000,000 for 4,807 Pratt & Whitneys (in addition to 4,236 already on order); to Chrysler, a $42,000,000 subcontract for Martin bomber parts; to Hudson, a $12,000,000 Martin subcontract. Detroit at last was on the way to filling...
...from his company brothers. Army old-timers smiled up their tunic sleeves at this exhibition from the 174th. Like other recently mobilized National Guard outfits, the 174th still had its military ABCs to learn. A derisively extenuating rumor went about: Company K's men and officers hailed from Tonawanda, N.

Most indignant was Breaker Bergoff at what happened to some of his men at Remington Rand's Tonawanda, N. Y. plant. Tycoon Rand wanted them to walk through picket lines, thus give loyal employes courage to follow. When the Bergoff huskies tried it, they were showered with bricks. "Rand," recounted Bergoff last week, "kind of put it over on me. I didn't know my men were getting into quite such a dangerous spot. He even wanted me to bring women up there, but I didn't do it, and I'm glad I didn...
...customs, scenic wonders, as he goes. It is a peculiar system of newsgathering he uses, here depending on what he sees and knows, here taking in the stories of rural raconteurs, rarely bothering with actual substantiation of what he says--now poeticizing the life of degenerate redskins at the Tonawanda Reservation, of two-fisted lumbermen in the northern mountains, of New York State Police; now ridiculing Chautauqua, poking fun at civic spirit in Rochester.
