Before starting on} } \the trip, ‘I asked Todd ‘Woodell, in chargé of the Kaiser Company | recruiting in the New York area, and he picked three cards at.ran- | jdom from the files of men about | | to entrain for the Far West—Ray- | mond Weller, John R. Hinklein, | and Benjamin Brown. Weller, 35, was working as al window trimmer in a chain drug | store when the chance for more; | money and wider opportunity in | the shipyards attracted him. He is married, has a 14-year-old | boy and lives in the Queens fed- eral housing project erected as al | slum-clearance measure for low-} income families. | Weller was born in Rochester, | | served a three-year enlistment in ve | the U.
