Cooks & Canned Music. Ships are the problem-not passengers. Of the fleet of seven new cruise ships which the Navy took over during the war, the Government-controlled but privately operated line has so far gotten back only two: the President Monroe, which will sail on the first postwar pleasure cruise, and the President Polk, which will sail on May 2. Each has accommodations-all first class-for only 98 passengers. So tickets are being rationed to one person or one couple from each state per ship...
...piece of tough, clear journalism, put together after long conferences with Murrow and his co-workers in the new documentary unit. It got some of the best-rehearsed radio acting in years (by Joseph Gotten, Luther Adler, Karl Swenson, Dan Whittaker). Sample scene...

Fontana's costs, largely because of the $105,000,000 it still owes RFC, are far higher than Geneva's. So Kaiser's most practical move was to ask the railroads which serve him to give him the same reduction as Geneva had gotten from its carriers. He wanted lower rates on all steelmaking materials brought to Fontana as well as on his outbound shipments...
