...needs), tin (20% of peacetime needs), aluminum, lead, mercury and phosphorus (almost none), rubber (none). Of such important alloy metals as antimony, chrome, nickel, manganese and tungsten, Japan produces scarcely...
...high time for this decision. In turning out 5,200,000 cars and trucks this year (1929 record: 5,400,000), Detroit had used up precious tons of steel, aluminum, chrome, nickel-not to mention hours of skilled labor and machine tools -needed for defense. In Army and Navy files were scores of cases where military contracts were delayed while parts manufacturers completed orders for Detroit. Last week J. Leonard Replogle, tough-minded director of steel supply on Barney Baruch's World War I Industries Board, called 1941's heavy automobile production "an inexcusable performance. . . . Will some German...
...Gerity-Adrian Mfg. Corp. (Adrian, Mich.). From 17 employes to begin with, he reached a peak of 960 early this year, plating door handles and radiator trimmings for automobiles, household hardware, etc. His basic manufacturing process reads like a roster of scarce materials: he uses nickel anodes for chrome-plating zinc die castings, which can't be made without aluminum.

Spark Plug Co. can make die castings for G.M. from the scrap aluminum that other G.M. plants produce in the course of manufacturing, and from the zinc of which huge...
...trapeze at the very top of the circus heavens. Massimilliano Truzzi juggles knives, flaming torches and the spectators' nerves. Half a hundred elephants galumph around the ring and take a bow in unison. Hubert Castle staggers like a drunken clubman on his tightwire. And in his air-conditioned, chrome steel cage in the menagerie, Gargantua, the 550-lb. gorilla who at eleven years is probably not yet old enough to mate with M'Toto, his presumed gorillass (TIME, March 3), makes the angriest faces in the world and then wearily turns on his audience the silver-grey, pointed...
...zinc, and magnesium. That was all. Two-thirds of her iron ore and 85% of her copper had to be imported. To feed her highly-developed smelters at Leipzig, Breslau, etc., she had little or no bauxite (aluminum ore), antimony, tin or the critical ferro-alloy metals: molybdenum, tungsten, chrome, nickel. The map shows how conquest enlarged her resources. Fine lines show her post-Versailles boundaries, the heavy line her holdings at the end of year I of World...
