...motormakers one by one, starting with General Motors. Reuther is in charge of U.A.W.'s G.M. division, and a settlement at Ford would give him a potent weapon in dealing with General Motors. It might also help him in his continued fight with U.A.W.'s left-wing Vice President George Addes. Reuther, with a substantial lead already over Addes, is now attempting to gather the laurels which he hopes will make him successor next year, to U.A.W.'s good-natured, generally ineffectual President R. J. Thomas...

In the same period, the Air Transport Command, loading 80 Chinese into each of its larger C-54s, carried 26,000 men of the Ninety-fourth Army to Shanghai.

From power blocking (two-on-one) to man-to-man and downfield brush blocking was an awful reconversion headache. Even in its simplest form, the delicate T timing proved too much to master in a single season. But by last year Blaik...
Editorially its policy has wandered up & down, but usually ends up being right wing at home and left wing abroad, in a Republican sort of way. Under Mrs. Reid, the feminists have had their day; the Trib now has 13 women reporters out of 60 on the local staff, and a half-dozen women executives. The Trib's world, however, proved not big enough to hold both Mrs. Reid and one of her hired feminists, Dorothy Thompson, who declared for Roosevelt in 1940, and dealt herself off the Trib...
