Other independents fumbled around with their styling and interiors; technical improvements were either minor or non-existent. Kaiser for example changed hood ornaments and tacked a chrome-plated tire case on the rear. Studebaker dropped its needle-nose, and Nash swapped its bathtub body for one designd by Italy's Pinin Farina that couldn't help being an improvement...
...Walter Kaiser tops the book reviewers in this issue with his criticism of Cedric Whitman's interpretation of Sophocles' plays. The review is good, straight-forward stuff, a great improvement over Kaiser's "susurrus of hosannahs" days of last Spring. Lewis Begley's review of a collection of poetry essays by Wallace Stevens is good criticism but tedious reading...
...House subcommittee okayed an Air Force program to spend $389 million on 20 big forging and extrusion presses. * Henry J. Kaiser, who has been plugging for the presses for 2½ years, got a contract to build a $17 million plant at Newark, Ohio to house two of them-a 25,000-tonner and a 35,000-tonner to be built by E. W.

Fontana in the past five months alone has boosted ingot output by 16%, made more money in October than in any other month on record. Its earnings ($2,500,000 in the last quarter) are running 30% ahead of last year, v. a decline for the rest of the steel industry. Kaiser's aluminum company is also netting more after taxes than last year, despite a 60% increase in its tax bill. Kaiser...
