...farmers with 10% less, and home owners with 25% less fuel oil. While Britain's industry uses less oil than most, oil-fueled steelmakers must cut production 10%, and the auto industry, which was already in trouble and hoped for a comeback, faces severe cutbacks. Cars slated for export are piling up on the docks because of the shipping shortage, and gas rationing at home has knocked the bottom out of the domestic market...
...TJ.S. CATTLE SALE is being negotiated with Mexican buyers to give cash relief to drought-hit U.S. ranchers. Mexico got $5,000,000 loan from U.S. Export-Import Bank to buy about 40,000 beef and dairy cattle. Two buying teams from south of border are touring Texas...
...Rates & Copying. East Germany gets few benefits from its recovery. Its best products are for export only, some 80% of its trade is with the Soviet bloc. Russia alone takes 47% of her exports of machinery, electrical equipment and optical instruments, reportedly at cut-rate prices set by the Soviets. East Germans say their steel production is up to 2,000,-ooo tons, brown coal up to 200 million tons, electricity up to 29 billion kw-h for 1,955, all double the 1936 output and way ahead of the wartime peak in 1943. Western authorities tend to accept these...
...better export industries that have risen from the ruins is the mammoth Carl Zeiss optical works at Jena. Forty percent bombed out during the war and dismantled by the Russians, it was rebuilt by the Germans, now makes cameras, binoculars and scientific instruments on a par with the West's. Machines approaching Western standards and below Western prices are coming from the more efficient nationalized factories, among them Magdeburg's Ernst Thalmann Heavy Machine Works, which the East Germans pieced together with infinite patience from scavenged old machinery and parts imported and smuggled from the West. In electronics...
...planned completion of the ship, and supplying industries were built up far from ports. East Germany has launched one 10,000-ton freighter at Warnemünde, now is producing other freighters at Wismar and Rostock, plus 500-ton fishing luggers and luxury yachts (for Communist brass and export) in shipyards at Stralsund and Wolgast on the blue Baltic. But East Germany's marine diesel engines are of prewar design, far too heavy and bulky to compete with the West's. Radio equipment is antiquated, automatic welding in its infancy, the use of plastics just beginning...
