...went Interior Secretary Fred Seaton's plan to help depressed U.S. mining industries and also to quiet opposition to extending the reciprocal trade agreements. Under Seaton's five-year plan, which would cost an estimated $161 million the first year, the Government would pay the miners of copper, lead, zinc, tungsten and fluorspar the difference between the market price and a set "stabilization" price. To Canada and the Latin American countries that export metals to the U.S., the Seaton plan is a welcome alternative to the tariff increases they face.

Imports from the U.S. are being cut back. But everywhere the demand is growing for U.S. help, specifically for price floors...
...scandal magazine in a two-fisted attempt to keep a client from being reminded of her days as a dancer at stag smokers. It proves only that when a girl gets into trouble there is always a good man around to get her out, provided she has copper-colored hair and the kind of construction that puts a lovelight in a private...
