Legs akimbo, half lying on their parachute packs, nine Marines lounged on the bare metal floor. The tenth stood before an open hatch in the side of the plane. A little older than the others, he was the sergeant and jump-master; he would be the first through the hatch. Now, while the plane rushed toward the spot chosen for this practice jump near Fredericksburg, his hands were raised above his head, gripping a cable which ran the length of the cabin...
...Corp., which long has badgered OPM for approval of its plans to make aluminum by a new process using alunite instead of bauxite (TIME, June 16). The Bureau of Mines has approved the alunite process; so has OPM's staff of technical experts. But OPM's light-metal bigwigs, without having committed themselves either way, frown on alunite, want Olin Corp. to use bauxite instead...
...corporate taxes, $1,152,000,000 in additional income taxes, $151,900,000 more in gift and estate taxes, the balance in new excise taxes.

This is the aluminum equivalent of some 4,000 fighter planes or 740 big bombers. The scrap will be sold to smelters through the Treasury Procurement Division. Money from the sale will go toward Army and Navy trainer planes...
