...move is more than an attempt to outguess Alcoa postwar strategy. The U.S. now has so much aluminum that WPB's C. E. Wilson recently said "it is running out of our ears". But the fact is that the U.S. will exhaust its high and medium-grade bauxite deposits (chiefly in Arkansas) in three years. It must then perfect a commercial process for utilizing low-grade bauxite (Alcoa claims to be trying out such a process now) or rely completely on bauxite imports, mainly from British and Dutch Guiana. This would mean that the U.S. might become a have...
...Stealth. No gun salvos in Moscow record the guerrilla's exploits: they are small victories, pinpricks in a war of titans. But enough pinpricks can bleed, exhaust, inflict painful wounds. Last week, a Soviet communiqué recorded these pinpricks...
Artistically it was a success. The New York Philharmonic-Symphony under Howard Barlow played Schubert and Wagner to a big, enthusiastic crowd. But the costs in transportation and union wages were so high that it was obvious that a few more such ventures would exhaust all of Boss Petrillo's $250,000. In Chicago, he told the whole story...

Early in 1941, spurred on by reports of German developments, N.A.C.A. appointed a committee to study the possibilities of using engine-exhaust heat. Water plays no part in the new system. Instead, air is heated as high as 350°F. by the exhaust pipes, is circulated through the wings's leading edges, keeps them at 60°F, no matter how far below zero the outside temperature goes. Satisfactory tests in far-northern climates lead engineers to hope that the long search is finished. If so, the U.S. can relax about what was once the No. 1 peril...
