Outwardly, the loggers' strike is a jurisdictional struggle between the I.W.A. and the newly formed Newfoundland Brotherhood of Woodworkers; more profoundly, the island's economy is at issue. Two big newsprint producers, Anglo-Newfoundland Development Co. Ltd. and Bowater's Pulp & Paper Mills Ltd., are faced with the rising cost of cutting logs in Newfoundland's skimpy forests. Newfoundland Premier Joseph Roberts Smallwood, fearful that further cost increases might endanger the companies' operations, moved in to settle the dispute at Grand Falls.

Private utilities have bought little foreign gear, but the Tennessee Valley Authority last month selected Britain's C. A. Parsons & Co. Ltd. to build a 500,000 kw. turbogenerator-one of the world's biggest-at Tuscumbia, Ala., and said that Parsons is indeed "qualified, technically competent and adequately equipped." Parsons' evaluated bid of $13 million was $6,300,000 below the nearest domestic bidder. TVA found "the import duty...
