ing the country's most turbulent river. The
job was more than Kaiser could swing alone,
but he persuaded several other Western
builders to join him as partners and landed
the contract Before Boulder Dam was fin
ished, 18 months ahead of schedule, Kaiser
was ready to take on still more difficult
engineering feat - damming the Columbia at
Bonneville Many builders insisted Bonne-
vile couldn't be constructed at all, because
of the deep, swift and treacherous current
To the amazement of the engineering world,
Kaiser turned the construction job over to

groups of yards.in the Portland and Rich

one side with Golfer dams, built half of Bonne-

built the other half completing it just in time

est dam of all time, Grand Coulee, a concrete

When a Kaiser ship hit the water on launch

engines, pumps, smokestacks, winches, instru-
ments fittings we're already in place, lowered
by gargantuan cranes used heretofore only
in dam building. Never before had ship
builders handled such weights. If they had to
weld the bottom of bulkhead, or deck
structure, or prov, the cranes turned it up
side down to make the welding easier and
faster. When the cabin section left the fabri-
eating plant it was complete, even to the
painting, the hunks and life belts. Recently

his executives These conferences cost hun
a quarter of million dollars year in tolls.
In person, Henry Kaiser is far from the
popular conception of relentless driver OF
men, His manner with the younger men who
get his Jobs done is that of a patient professor.
He takes infinite time to sell his ideas to his
organization, and makes sure that everybody
agrees on every point in building program
He dotes on machinery, but says, The secret
of handling big construction jobs fast is man
power, not money or machines
Henry Kaiser was born in Canajoharle,
New York, to family so poor that he quit
school at II to work for journeyman photog-
rapher At l9, he bought out his employer,
spent his winters in Florida and his summers
at Lake Placid, New York, taking pictures OF
tourists At the latter resort, one OF his sub
iects was lively Bessie Fosburgh from Boston,
whom he persuaded to become his WIFE,
Fortunately, the young woman's guardian
uncle considered photography too precarlous
a livelihood for the husband of his niece, 50
Young Kaiser abandoned his cameras and
migrated West in search of more substantial
business.
This he found in Spokane, selling sand and
gravel and cement From that. Kaiser moved
nto street and highway paving just as the
new gasoline taxes began to yield bonanza
to lift the country out Of the mud with con-
crete highways.
On his jobs, Kaiser always used bigger
machinery to move earth and rock and
cement faster than it had ever been ham
died before. He tried out any promising
new idea that he or any of his men could
dream up. Other contractors laughed at him
when he first used rubber-tired wheelbarrows
but quickly bought them when Kaiser proved
that men moved twice as much sand per day
with less effort when the stuff rolled on rub
Der.
While building 200 miles of highways In
Cuba, he heard that the federal government
was asking for bids on the fifty-million-dollar
Boulder Dam. This project called for pouring
Evening star., 1942-08-30

To deliver cement for naval defense construc-
ton, he bought two old ships, sent them to
Puget Sound yard for overhauling. There he
met John Reilly, head of the Todd Shipyard
Corporation. Reilly foresaw the coming ship
building boom, and Kaiser sensed big build
ing job for 1is men. They joined up, Reilly
supplying the experience, Kaiser the man
power.
Their first yard at Richmond, California
was built to construct 80 freighters for the
British Before the order was completed,
Kaiser's revolutionary shipbuilding ideas
proved too much for the old-line ship men.
The partnership was dissolved early in 1941.
The Todd Company concentrated on naval
work, Kaiser on cargo carriers.
Big Plans
DOME of the Kaiser side interests are per-
forming mass-production feats as remarkable
as his shipyards. The Joshua Hendy Iron
Works at Sunnyvale, Calf, zoomed from a
1OO-man payroll to $500 in two years to
rush fabrication of $50 steam engines for
cargo vessels
Another project is a milion-dollar plant
to produce magnesium for bombs and air
craft construction. His newest daydream IS
steel mill which is already under construc-
ton near San Bernardino, Calf. 1t will be
the first smelter on the Pacific Coast and by
the end of the year, the Kaiser yards will be
turning out ships made with their own
Western steel.
Right now, all of Henry Kaiser's overflow
ing energy and that of his executives is going
into the war effort But Yard No. 3 at Rich
mond offers clue to his vision of the future
Here, after the war, Kaiser expects to build
large ships so radically designed that small
crew of highly-paid American seamen can
operate them in competition with cheap
labor foreign lines.
Once the war is won, he predicts, the Amer
lean merchant marine will never again be
pushed off the seven seas.

mythical character whom few OF ms
own worNnen have ever seen. This
is because Kaiser spends most of his
time shutting between his unpre-
tentious Office in Oakland and gov
ernment offices in Washington.
Kaiser travels with two or three en-
gineering aides, does his work IN
bedrooms of hotels or fast trains.
Yet scarcely a day passes but that
he has his fingers on the pulse OF
every yard and plant in his scat
tered empire, by means of long
