Having just refilled its till with about $300,000 of new private money and $450,000 of RFC money, Hayes proposes to pay back this arm of the Government by selling to another arm-the War and Navy Departments. Its new lines: aircraft parts, ordnance, armored truck bodies. To help win a place on Assistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson's clubby suppliers' list, Hayes Body went last week and got a new president...
