Signals from Britain. At week's end Western spokesmen said that the conference was on a "day-to-day basis," might break up any time unless Gromyko offered some sign of being ready to negotiate. But the fact seemed to be that Herter & Co. were not only reluctant to accept the propaganda onus of ending the conference, but also shrank from the prospect that a breakdown of the negotiations might spur the Russians to some kind of action against West Berlin (whose Mayor Willy Brandt turned up at Geneva last week...
...massive experiment conducted by Adolf Butenandt, 56, who was co-winner of the 1939 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (for isolating the male sex hormone, androsterone), a research team at Munich's Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry imported 1,000,000 silkworm cocoons from Italy and Japan, opened them up with razor blades, separated the pupae of 310,000 females from the males. What followed, in the words of one researcher, was "a mass slaughter, and not for the fainthearted." Each tiny pupa was disemboweled, the scent glands carefully cut out. Male moths served as lab assistants: when they were...
...early round. Joel came equipped to win. The son of a lumber salesman, he reads four or five books a week, is starting Darwin's Origin of Species.

Says Glim-trained Joel, whose $1,000 prize would...

But the industry's team, headed by U.S. Steel's Executive Vice President Conrad Cooper, said it will not meet separately with the union's twelve local bargaining groups because it feels the only way to a contract is through top-level negotiations between the union and management four-man committees. If one thing emerged clearly last week...
Reynolds Metals Co. boosted its primary production of aluminum to 100% of rated annual capacity (601,000 tons) last week, and said: "We're selling aluminum as fast as we can make it." Production at Aluminum Co. of America and Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp. was also rising, bringing the industry to 90% of its 2,300,000 tons primary capacity. Preliminary figures indicate that May production hit an alltime monthly high of 164,000 tons, and makers are confident that 1959 will be a record year, about 20% over...
