Ruddy and chipper, Bill Green arrived at Chicago's Drake Hotel one day last week for a meeting of the A.F.L.'s 15-man executive council. He was almost cocky as he talked to newsmen. He told them he would recommend that the A.F.L.'s officers get into step with the new National Labor Relations Board and sign the non-Communist affidavit, which is a prime proviso of the Taft-Hartley Act. He was sure that the other 14 members on the council felt the same...
This time the committee, in its questioning, plunged gleefully back to the summer of 1943. Colonel Roosevelt, home from duty as operations officer of a photoreconnaissance group in the Mediterranean, had been ordered by the A.A.F.'s General Henry H. Arnold to recommend a new plane to replace the makeshift, reconverted P-38s and B-17s. (Why "Hap" Arnold picked Newcomer Roosevelt to do this job was not made clear.) Over the violent objections of General Echols and his boss, Barney Giles, chief of air staff, Elliott Roosevelt had insisted on the XF-II. "Hap" Arnold put through...

His crisis line could be taken as a tip that Harry Truman is also ready for dirty weather, prepared to treat 1948 as a short-of-war year, a time to face up to the threat of World War III and no time to change White House horses in midstream...
...made a substrata survey of fields where there was no protective covering, discovered that all earthworm life was snuffed out in a single freezing spell. But in a burlap-covered acre, 995,000 worms survived; 1,610,000 slithered to safety beneath a protective acre of hay. The conservationists recommend a covering of chopped cornstalks or manure, or a quick-growing catch crop, to blanket the worms and tide them through the winter...
