...meeting on Feb. 28. If it takes over Loew's, the Lehman-Lazard group would probably keep Vogel in charge of Loew's Theaters division, which he headed until last month, and hire a president who would drastically cut MGM's staff, replace Movie Production Boss Dore Schary, sell off some money-losing Loew's theaters, and possibly consolidate MGM's high-overhead moviemaking facilities with Warner Bros...
...Lehman-Lazard interests charge that the M-G-M movies made during the tenure of MGM's Production Boss Dore Schary, which dates from 1948, have lost an estimated $25 million. (Schary claims that he went in the red only two years.) The dissidents note that MGM's successful box-office movies, such as The Blackboard Jungle and Trial, have been outnumbered by the flops-The Prodigal, Jupiter's Darling, The Swan, Somebody Up There Likes...

Campbell Chibougamau, in production since June 1955, now spews up $1,000,000 worth of ore a month. Four other companies (Copper Cliff Consolidated Mining Corp., New Royran Copper Mines Ltd., Chibougamau Jaculet and Copper Rand) around the rim of Dore Lake are shooting for production next year. The investment already totals $50 million. Dotted over the lonely countryside, some 100 drilling crews are probing the Pre-Cambrian rocks for new deposits or extensions of established finds.
