...Government to build a $1,750,000 pilot plant to test National Research's revolutionary method of refining titanium. The method will be the first practical non-Kroll* process: by bypassing the rough, sponge stage now necessary in titanium refining, National Research expects to turn out highly purified metal crystals that can then be melted down into solid metal. If the idea pans out it should cut the cost of titanium (now $5 a lb.) enough so that it will find a vast number of new uses...

One tomb contained the skeleton of a young...
