...Italy totaled $43,686,000, 54% more than in the corresponding months a year earlier. Against this six-month average of $7,281,000, Italy's March takings came to $9,634,000. April was also above $9,000,000. Italy drew heavily on the U. S. for copper (up 45% for the first six months of the war) and scrap iron. But her purchases of oil were another matter. Allied optimists have counted on Italy's being short of oil, hoped she would prove a drain on Germany if she joined up. In 1938 Italy bought...
...Scovill Manufacturing Co., facing a copper & brass fabricating (for ordnance) boom, had planned to help widen this possible bottleneck by selling $8,374,000 of new debentures and $15,000,000 of new capital stock, refund $7,850,000 of 5½% debentures at the same time...
Plunked down in the midst of medieval Andorra, the gleaming steel & stone station is unusual. Because of the technical difficulties of transmitting from the mineral-veined peaks, the 400-ft. pylons supporting the antenna rest not on native rock but upon special copper-bound, earth-filled piers sunk into mountaintop Lake Engolaster, 4,900 feet above sea level. Twenty-three hundred feet below, overlooking the valley, is a modernistic, three-story granite building which houses the control panels and living quarters of the operators. From its dizzy perch Radio Andorra has the strength to make itself easily heard in England...
...fared better, although among them, too, the biggest export gains were made by the groups needing foreign relief least. Far & away the No. 1 material exporter was the scrap, pig iron and other semi-finished steel groups, whose shipments were up 145% to $78,494,000. Other star performers - copper, up 122% to $33,264,000; chemicals, up 145% to $21,257,000; aluminum materials, up 184% to $5,836,000 - were all in fair shape domestically anyway. Disappointing was the increase in coal exports (up 35% to $10,725,000); the big Canadian and Latin American markets for British...
...open the road to war. These spearheads, to be followed by heavier forces from the growing Nazi troop-pool in the Oslo district, drove to reach their comrades at Trondheim before the floundering Allies should surround that town and close the roads to reinforcements. One struck north to the copper town of Röros at a speed which excited correspondents called "lightning"-actually about 50 miles in one day, which is excellent for tanks and lorries moving through mountain country if the retreating defenders are blowing out bridges, touching off landslides. When the Österdal spearhead reached...
