...Cleveland, metallurgists of Union Carbide & Carbon—biggest U.S. maker of ferrochrome, vital ingredient of stainless steel (usual formula: 18% chromium, 8% nickel)—announced that at last the behavior and strength of stainless steel under aerial conditions can be predicted with scientific exactitude...
...Stainless steel can be fabricated faster and cheaper because, unlike aluminum, it can easily be spot-welded. A thousand steel spot welds cost less than 10?. A like number of aluminum rivets may cost $30.* And Union Carbide & Carbon's engineers estimated last week that stainless-steel wings can sometimes be built four times as fast as aluminum wings...
With these attributes. Cagney manages to suggest George M. Cohan without carbon-copying the classic trouper. He has the Cohan trick of nodding and winking to express approval, the outthrust jaw, stiff-legged stride, bantam dance routines, side-of-the-mouth singing, the air of likable conceit. For the rest, he remains plain Jimmy Cagney. It is a remarkable performance, possibly Cagney's best, and it makes Yankee Doodle a dandy...
...concentrated on poison gases, of war and peace. During World War I, Professor Henderson (with his assistant, Howard Haggard) invented a gas mask, but his greatest scientific work is his research on respiration. Physiologists long believed that asphyxiation was caused by lack of oxygen plus an accumulation of "poisonous" carbon dioxide in the body. The old method of resuscitation was to pump pure oxygen into lungs. But this method was seldom successful. Professor Henderson proved that carbon dioxide in small amounts is really an essential breathing stimulant, introduced an O 2 -CO 2 mixture which is used today...
...probably a darn sight better! Not only can but should, agreed Harold Ickes, his Bureau of Mines and the Senate Appropriations Committee last week. They plan to build an $85,000 pilot plant at Pittsburgh to imitate the German hydrogenation techniques whereby carbon (from coal) is combined with hydrogen to form the group of light hydrocarbon compounds called gasoline...
