He will admit to only five failures among the marriages he has arranged: two because the husbands went off to prison and three because the young men (to his great disgust) turned out to be inscrutable. Why did the failures occur? "I couldn't test their engines in advance," he says. Now his male applicants must supply medical certificates attesting to their likely potency.

Harry Figge's "Automatic" Sprinkler Corp. went into a nosedive last year when strikes and production snags crippled two divisions, while a third ran into cost-control woes. Ogden Corp. suffered after its shipbuilding subsidiary hit rough weather. Tex Thornton's Litton ran into multiple trouble: losses in shipbuilding, engineering snags on a new typewriter, slumping sales of office furniture.
