...will soon add to its foreign sources for uranium (now principally the Belgian Congo and Canada) by imports from Australia and South Africa. ¶ Domestically, the AEC has developed uranium mines on the Colorado Plateau (where it is building 783 miles of new roads), has found good prospects in the Black Hills of South Dakota. ¶ In Joliet, Ill., the Blockson Chemical Co. will soon begin full-scale production of uranium from a new source, phosphoric acid. ¶ Barely started on its new $3.5 billion expansion program, the AEC already employs about 3% of the total construction force...

To Lou Henry Hoover he has dedicated one room of the Hoover Library at Stanford University, and there he has assembled a small collection of the things which she once treasured: lace presented to her when he was working on Belgian relief, old Spanish silver, blue and white porcelain. In the dusty antique shops under Manhattan's Third Avenue El, Hoover is a familiar figure today, hunting around for more blue and white porcelain. He cherishes recollections of his Iowa boyhood which suggest some un-Hooverish pictures. "There was Cook...
