...Vivien Kellems, Westport, Conn, cable-grip manufacturer, in a speech to a Kansas City civic group, invited manufacturers to a "Westport tea party" - to form postwar reserves for their industries by putting aside money from their Federal income taxes. "Put on your Indian paint and feathers and join me," cried the 48-year-old, youthful, minister's daughter. "I owe it to my country ... to help rectify this horrible mistake which will most certainly carry us right into the abyss of Communism." Cited as U.S. industry's leading lady (by the National Association of Manufacturers...
