Family Man. Perry, 47, has never wavered from the family feeling that he got back in Canonsburg, Pa., where he was born "lucky," the seventh son of a seventh son.

BILL FARR has just installed an automated $200.000 feed mill, 100 ft. high and 60 ft. long, to prepare food for the 10,000 cattle he fattens on his feed lots near Greeley, Colo.

(52,000 employees), suggested that Congress raise the national minimum wage, now $1, to $1.25 an hour, so all mill operators would have to go up and none could chisel on wages to undercut his competitors on prices...
...huge chunks of its foreign reserves to import the steel the country needs. Hoping to quadruple production by 1961, India has brought in the services of four different nations to do it. At Durgapur in West Bengal, 400 British experts are supervising 29,000 Indians in building a mill that will begin operation next fall. Also in West Bengal, in Jamshedpur, the Pittsburgh of India, U.S. engineers of the Kaiser Engineers Division are just about finished with a new 1,000,000-ton addition to the Tata Iron & Steel Co., a private investment made possible by the World Bank...
