Gently Rolling
General Foods Corp. last week announced that it will move its headquarters and 1,300 employees from the center of Manhattan to suburban White Plains. Within the next three years, General foods plans to build a garden-type office building on a 48-acre plot "to blend with the gently rolling wooded site." The move said General Foods' Board Chairman Clarence Francis, was not influenced by any fear that New York might be bombed. For ten years, said he, General Foods has been planning to get its executives under one roof and to give its New York office workers a setting similar to the company's rural plants. But with the new NPA restrictions, General Foods may have waited too long.
