...Warm Springs on a gloomy, wet Sunday the President ate turkey, shook hands with discombobolated Helen Cothran, 4 (who shifted her sticky candy to her left hand just in time), with Wade Cothran, 3 (who had cake in both hands, put most of it in his mouth and said "Glmph!" to the President), and with 90 other polio patients. In a gay little speech he said deliberately: "I hope to be down here in March, without any question, if the world survives." (In April 1939, he had said deliberately: "I'll be back in the fall...

Ten minutes later an attendant found him slumped in a chair in the ground-floor...
Last week, to celebrate his program's completion, tan, robust "Tut" Tuttle invited some 500 newsmen, steel technicians and customers to look over his expanded Baltimore plant. They jostled each other in the long, low, light green business offices, ate liberally of a free buffet lunch, marveled at the progress that had been made. A promoter's scheme in 1929, near bankrupt in 1933, Rustless is now one of the Big Three stainless steel makers (other two: Allegheny Ludlum, Republic). Capacity has been upped from 20,000 tons (1934) to 75,000 tons, nearly one-half the entire...
