Chicago's Inland Steel Co. has put 233 women on its production lines for the first time since World War II, and the Jewel Tea Co. has hired women as butchers to supplement its draft-depleted supply of manpower. Pittsburgh copper fabricators have had so much of their output pre-empted by the Pentagon that they cannot meet civilian demand for plumbing equipment. Appliance manufacturers, hoping that buyers will not notice the difference, have begun to trim a few inches off their electrical cords. Shoemakers have cut back production of cowboy boots to devote full time to combat boots...
...Reasons. One reason for the sparse traffic is the steep toll-$4 for car and driver, plus 85? for each passenger older than six. Another explanation: early completion of Interstate 95, which provides a competing route farther inland. Besides, an expected economic boom in the Norfolk-Virginia Beach area has simply not materialized...
...Panhandle, located immediately above the demilitarized zone that marks the border with South Viet Nam, is a long, narrow strip wedged between the mountains and the sea. Lined by roads, railroads and inland waterways, it is Ho's principal supply route to the Communist troops in the south.

In Buffalo, he studied with obvious distaste a bucketful of sludge from a river that feeds Lake Erie, vowed that he would press the fight against pollution-mostly a result of the cities' industrial waste-so that "this great inland sea will sparkle again." In Syracuse, he scored those who "line their pockets with the tattered dollars of the poor"-and promised to "take the profit out of poverty" by preventing slum landlords from exploiting their tenants.

The most promising steel industries in Europe are new ones in Holland and Italy, which, being big, modern and set up near seaports, can undersell the old inland German mills, imprisoned atop their own uneconomic mines. With four new coastal plants opened by Italy's government-owned Finsider, Italian production increased 26% from 1964 to 1965, and is up another 8.3% this year. The Dutch firm of Hoogovens, partly situated at Europoort, where 80,000-ton ore ships can come calling, is expanding output from 2,800,000 to 4,000,000 tons annually...
