This withdrawal would also allow the communists to seal off East Berlin, he declared, since the occupation of the city would then be legally ended. This would pllug a hole in the iron curtain, hampering the intelligence activities in Berlin by the three Western powers...
...tied Joey Smallwood, once a St. John's newsman, has been Premier through the whole decade of confederation. When he first took over, he earmarked some $25 million for an industrial development program that is beginning to produce results. Government-aided surveys turned up fabulous deposits of iron ore in Newfoundland's mainland territory of Labrador; one is now being mined, the other is scheduled to go into production in the 1960s. In Newfoundland and Labrador, surveyors uncovered promising finds of copper, lead and zinc, asbestos, fluorspar, gypsum and uranium. Perhaps even more significant was the exploration...
...couple of months ago, rakish Director John Huston took Stars Audrey Hepburn, Burt Lancaster and Audie Murphy to the Mexican iron-mining town of Durango (pop. 59,500) to film The Unforgiven and save $600,000 (in Mexico, an Indian with horse costs $2 a day against $40 in Hollywood).

At the Soviet's 21st Party Congress in Moscow last January, slim, supple Red Boss Aidit could boast the best vote-getting Communist Party outside the Iron Curtain, and he promised Nikita Khrushchev that Indonesian Reds would deliver 8,000,000 ballots if elections "were held tomorrow" (in the 1957 regional election the Reds became Indonesia's top party with 6,940,000 votes).

...from the cycling plants and not on the lower value of gas at the well. The danger of this precedent, said Treasury, is that the allowances could be carried to ridiculous extremes, with claims being allowed for structural steel, ceramics, pig aluminum, etc. The allowance on two tons of iron ore is $2.40, said Treasury, but would jump to $44.25 if computed on the value of steel bolts made from the ore. The Treasury already stands to lose $297 million in claims for rebates now being asked for in court, could lose as much as $600 million annually...
