...when Blough dropped his usual reticence last week at his quarterly press conference and delivered a firm defense of the steel industry's pricing policies. It came just three weeks after U.S. Steel and seven other big companies had been indicted on charges of fixing some prices on carbon steel sheets. "If anyone inquires into it," said Blough, "he will find that there is plenty of competition in the steel industry, including price competition. In 1963 alone, on almost 100 separate occasions, we reduced one or more of our product prices. Some of the recent price changes were...
...most important case of its kind since 29 electrical equipment companies were brought to court on similar charges three years ago. But where the electrical case concerned multimillion-dollar tur bine generators that seemed remote from the everyday consumer, the new indictment covered the commonest grade of steel-the carbon sheets that go into almost every car, refrigerator and washing machine made...
According to the Government, the steelmen did not try to fix the basic price of sheets but subtly rigged the thousands of "extras" that they charge for processing the sheets to certain sizes, shapes and strengths. These extras account for about 16% of the $2 billion-a-year carbon-sheet business done by the eight companies. The scheme to fix these extras, according to the indictment, was forged in a spylike atmosphere reminiscent of the electrical price-fixing case. The grand jury charged that the steelmen conspired in secret many times between 1955 and 1961, meeting in Manhattan hotels where...
...whether they are dust or hydrocarbons, as some authorities think. "I have now come to the end of my competence," he says, "but my personal opinion is that it does imply water." Further deductions are even more iffy, but Dr. Strong suspects that free oxygen may exist along with carbon dioxide in the Venusian atmosphere. If so, it probably comes from water molecules that are broken into hydrogen and oxygen by ultraviolet radiation from...
Even the Senile. Hefelmann testified that his euthanasia group, dubbed the "Reich Working Committee for Cure and Care Institutions," was headquartered at No. 4 Tiergartenstrasse in Berlin, a title that for secrecy's sake was shortened to "T-4." There was housed the massive bureaucracy that set up carbon monoxide chambers at an in sane asylum and other isolated institutions around Germany-all dedicated to the task of eliminating the weak from Hitler's society. Questionnaires went out to every mental hospital in the nation; doctors were required to designate for T-4 all schizophrenics, mongoloid idiots, microcephalies...
