Human Wall. The great flood began late last spring, when a Siberian cold front collided with a moisture-laden warm-air mass moving inland from the Southeast Pacific. Red China, anxious to maintain its pose of bland invincibility before the world at Geneva, said nothing about its flood so long as it could conceal it. and later tried to minimize...
Despite such restrictions, Lindsley could well be elated over his big project. It can mean rapid development of a rich and virtually untapped area, with an inland water storage system on the continent second only to the Great Lakes. As rapidly as possible, smelters and refineries will be installed to process iron, steel, cobalt, nickel, manganese alloys and aluminum. With Alcoa out of the picture, another U.S. aluminum company. Reynolds Metals, came in. Reynolds will probably supply a third of the capital for the $270 million first stage of the project, scheduled for 1962, and eventually use a third...
...nine 100-car trains a day will be rolling down from the mines to the Seven Islands docks. Some ore will go by sea to Baltimore and Philadelphia. The rest will go in shallow-draft ships down the St. Lawrence to the steel mills of Cleveland and Pittsburgh and inland Canada. When the St. Lawrence Seaway is ready, oceangoing freighters can do all the carrying. By 1957 about 10 million tons of ore a year will be coming out of Ungava's veins, and the world's mightiest industrial nation need not worry about iron to feed...
...capacity, combined earnings of 30 companies were just 14% under a year ago. U.S. Steel's second-quarter net was down 11.9% to $49 million. But Chairman Benjamin F. Fairless predicted that demand for steel would pick up late this month or in September. Chicago's Inland Steel, which concentrates on basic steels rather than high-cost alloys, announced alltime highs in second-quarter production (102.6% of capacity) and first-half earnings ($19.4 million). Bethlehem Steel's Chairman Eugene G. Grace also reported profits 7.8% ahead of a year ago ($31 million). Grace went on to confirm...
Hurricane Alice, first of the 1954 season, was gentle as hurricanes go. She barely reached hurricane velocity (80 m.p.h.), and the blow did little damage other than beaching a few shrimp boats in the Gulf of Mexico. But when she moved inland over parched southwest Texas, her humid clouds cascaded rain in torrents never before recorded. On eroded land, where 1 in. of rain can mean a flash flood, as much as 22 in. fell last week. It was disaster...
