...blistering exposé of the prison colony for his paper, Le Petit Parisien, enlightened Frenchmen have been clucking over the shameful institution they call "the dry guillotine," but little was done about it. It took more than ten years before the French government finally admitted that Cayenne "does not appear to have any deterrent effect upon the criminals" and was "not good for the prestige of France in [the American] continent."

In July he began a new prosecution against Aluminum Co. of America, whose onetime monopoly had been declared ended after one of the most protracted suits on record (TIME, June 12, 1950). The complaint charged that Alcoa's contract to import 600,000 tons of Canadian aluminum from its divorced ex-subsidiary, Aluminium Ltd. of Canada, was an attempt to bring the two together in a new monopoly. When gasoline and fuel oil prices rose...
