Testosterone Treatment. All this seemed to be solely in the province of genetics, and to have nothing to do with cancer, until Dr. H. A. Hienz, at the Pathology Institute in Essen, Germany, brought the two together. He was seeking an explanation of the fact that many women who have had surgery for cancer of the breast get along well for years on regular doses of the male hormone testosterone, while others on the same treatment soon suffer fatal recurrences of their cancer. Current theories to explain this phenomenon did not satisfy Dr. Hienz, or Dr. P. N. Ehlers...
...Their protest was too late. Last week the German coal industry announced plans to close down 36 mines that produce a quarter of West Germany's coal and employ more than 60,000 miners, fully 17% of the industry's working force. At the Amalie mine in Essen, center of the industrial Ruhr, dust-covered workers were handed "death warrants" as they emerged from the mines, and went off to brood over their beer...
...Goergen, the boss of West Germany's Henschel Works, awaiting trial on charges that he cheated the government in a $16 million tank deal, businessmen have been wondering what would happen to the vast heavy-equipment firm he made one of Germany's most profitable.

Dozens of smokeless, smartly designed plants turn out machine tools, chemical equipment and truck bodies; General Motors' Opel subsidiary 18 months ago opened a $500 million factory for its new Kadett small cars at Bochum-symbolically built over an abandoned coal mine. At Essen and Dortmund, Krupp, Siemens and AEG have put up new plants to manufacture everything from turbogenerators to X-ray apparatus. Also sprouting are plants for electronics parts, TV sets, plate glass and clothing, as well as factories that turn out a cheap furniture; in honor of its city of origin...
International Army. The German engineers work for Hochtief, a hustling Essen-headquartered construction firm that is West Germany's largest. They are only the vanguard of what will be an international army of engineers drawn from Italian, Swedish, French and Egyptian construction companies. The job, whose feasibility was first worked out by the Swedes, will take seven years and cost $25 million; the expense has been largely met by contributions from the U.S., Kuwait and UNESCO. The overall boss of the international effort is 89-year-old Hochtief, whose name literally means "above below"-a reference to the firm...
