They had to claw their way along a mountainous, broken front of 20 miles. In the north the French, under Tunisian veteran General Alphonse Pierre Juin, drove the Germans from Mount Ferro (3,500 ft.), Mount Pagano (3,600 ft.) and Mount Pile (3,700 ft.). They slid into the village of Acquafondata, gained a hold on one of four roads to Cassino. In the central-southern sector, U.S. and Canadian soldiers took Mount Porchia (where 16 stretcher-bearers were killed), Mount Capraro, Mount Trocchio, the strongly held village of Cervaro. From Trocchio, they overlooked Cassino itself. They rushed down...
Vanadium. National Lead got a windfall in the vanadium at Maclntyre. It hopes to get 3,000,000 Ib. a year, worth $2.90 a Ib. as ferro-vanadium. This white metal is vitally needed to increase the tensile strength of steel. As such it will be snapped up like soda pop at a ball game; sale of this by-product alone will rake in almost as much cash in one year as National Lead has spent on the whole Maclntyre development...
Under industry-wide mandatory priorities, which means that no supplier can sell them except to customers who have priority rating, were 14 materials: aluminum, borax (and boric acid),* copper, cork, ferro-tungsten, machine tools, magnesium, nickel, nickel-steel, polyvinyl chloride (for plastics), rubber, synthetic rubber, tungsten high-speed steel, zinc. Pig iron was soon to be added. So were some heavy chemicals-sulfuric acid and possibly ammonia...
...when he returns. Meanwhile the National Resources Planning Board fortified the expansionist position with a steel report of its own. (Author: Louis Paradiso, under the direction of Gardiner C. Means.) Taking the long view of how much growing the U. S. has to do, it estimated pig-iron (and ferro-alloy), steel-ingot and rolling-mill capacity needed for full production at various levels of future national income...
...enough lead, zinc, and magnesium. That was all. Two-thirds of her iron ore and 85% of her copper had to be imported. To feed her highly-developed smelters at Leipzig, Breslau, etc., she had little or no bauxite (aluminum ore), antimony, tin or the critical ferro-alloy metals: molybdenum, tungsten, chrome, nickel. The map shows how conquest enlarged her resources. Fine lines show her post-Versailles boundaries, the heavy line her holdings at the end of year I of World...
