Gruff, honest Bridgman assigned Robert to a project involving a copper-nickel alloy. Oppenheimer built a furnace, made his alloy, completed the study with sufficient precision for Bridgman to publish the findings. Says Bridgman: "A very intelligent student.

With current allocations calling for 6.2 million tons (out of 66 million tons annual production) the pinch will become painful about November. How much tighter would it get? Some estimates, including ECA needs and other export requirements, put the total set aside at 16 million tons. If so, production of such consumer goods as autos and refrigerators would probably have...

...Canadians are against that. Some big industrialists, sure that they could compete in it successfully, cast covetous eyes on a combined market of 156 million. Best examples: makers of fine papers, furniture, alloy metals. The Maritimes, where many believe that confederation was a mistake, have a friendlier feeling for the U.S. than for Ontario. Said Nova Scotia's Industry Minister Harold Connolly: "Complete economic unity between Canada and the U.S. is inevitable...
