S. architects and automotivemen, Albert is the most famed member of the Kahn family. Soviet Rus sia, also conscious of Albert Kahn, commissioned him last week to construct vast factories at Stalingrad, at the Volga River's mouth. A tractor plant, an automobile factory and a cotton mill will be the first units in the proposed industrial group...
