...past, both Czarist and Soviet regimes have had to force people to live and work there. Tens of millions of hapless human slaves, cutting timber, tilling the bleak steppe, or digging through the permafrost (in some places 75 ft. deep) to get at the gold, iron, coal, copper, nickel, uranium, titanium, magnesium and bauxite have laid the foundations of a series of vast industrial enterprises. To develop this industry, the Soviet Union now needs the skills and crafts of mil lions of willing, i.e., voluntary, workers, and agricultural producers to feed them...
Action at Last. D'Allessandri's little black book showed that in eight months of 1953, Terbita shipped thousands of tons of such strategic commodities as vanadium, cobalt, nickel, copper and molybdenum (listed as Portuguese cork) to Soviet-bloc countries.

...doctors in California are duplicating the work. The one feature common to all the cases is that the children were fed mostly milk; though all had vitamins, some also had a few vegetables, and a few had a little meat. Just why they are deficient in iron and copper is not clear; neither is it known whether they will have to continue taking extra iron and copper rations all their lives...
