...regards his life insurance: protection against the unthinkable. NDAC's Ed Stettinius pleaded for 100,000 tons of insurance. But to Jesse Jones the rates seemed too high. They obviously were too high for large-scale private investment so long as Buna-S cost 25-35? a Ib. and natural rubber, even at war-kited rates, only 20?. In May 1941, the same day that his RFC head.

Three-quarters of it is used in paint; another big use is in paper. Before the war it was found on beaches in India's native state of Travancore, hauled halfway round the world to the U.S. Maclntyre alone will soon yield almost...
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...
