...average cost of foreign beef delivered in the Hawaiian Islands is 2¢ to 4¢ per Ib. cheaper than the U. S. product delivered in the U. S. Any change in the law to require the American product would, of course, require a considerable increase in the appropriation for the sub- sistence of the Army...
Beryllium, next to lithium, is the lightest metal, only 1.84 times as heavy as water, two-thirds as heavy as aluminum. Re-search into means of producing it for less than $100 per Ib. has been spurred by aviation's need of light, strong metals. If a statement last week by Alfred Schwarz, Manhattan businessman, one-time Green Cananea Co. metallurgist, proves true, a great new metal industry may be launched. His statement: that he can, by a process of his invention, make pure beryllium for $2 per Ib...
Siemens & Halske's beryllium has been manufactured by a slow electrolytic process. The Schwarz process is a heat treatment. From a ton of beryl ore costing $100, Metallurgist Schwarz says he can obtain 100 Ib. of pure beryllium. The ore is plentiful in New Hampshire. New York, the Carolinas, Colorado, usually being found with feldspar deposits...
Next problem for metallurgists is to develop a beryllium alloy which is not brittle. While most aluminum-beryllium alloys will stand tensile (pulling) stresses of around 70,000 Ib. per square inch, they will support only slight bending stresses. Thin sheets of a 70-30 beryllium-alu-minum alloy will break like stiff cardboard...
...heavy for his class, Sammy Mandell, lightweight champion of the world since 1926, trained in sweaters under the July sun, dried out in steam baths. On the morning of his fight with Challenger Al Singer, last week in The Bronx, he weighed himself secretly, found he was 136 Ib. instead of 135 lb., put on thick clothes and ran around the Yankee Stadium until the pound came off. That evening, pallid and drawn, he came out of his corner cautiously to meet Singer, sturdy Bronx Semite. After a moment of tentative jabbing. Singer lashed out with a left hook...
