Other titanium makers thought this was too pessimistic, even though the government-aided titanium sponge plants are running at about 50% of capacity. Sales of finished mill products will edge up from last year's 5,100 tons to 6,000 or 7,000 tons this year, but will fall well below the 11,000 tons earlier predicted for 1957. Said the president of the No. 2 fabricator, Mallory-Sharon Titanium Corp.'s James A. Roemer: "There is no question that we will be capable of producing more titanium in 1957 than we will sell...
Bugs. The titanium industry was born with the jet age. To reach a goal of 15,000 tons of titanium mill products by 1957 (an amount that will not be needed for years), the Government encouraged five companies to start making the metal. Shoved along too fast, the untried metal soon developed many bugs. The first unalloyed titanium proved too brittle in aircraft; it tore easily, and fatigued at temperatures above 900°F. One 200,000-lb. batch was thrown out because it was-too hard to machine. Titanium parts in engines failed in flight...
...will ride the range with Have Gun, Will Travel, bring over England's top-seeded commercial show, Assignment Foreign Legion, with Merle Oberon, and cast Eve Arden in a series based on Emily Kimbrough's autobiography, It Gives Me Great Pleasure. TV's most ambitious drama mill, Playhouse 90, reopens this month with Jack Palance and Fashion Model Suzy Parker in Barnaby Conrad's Death of Manolete, followed by Rod Serling's study of the Hungarian revolt, The Dark Side of the Earth, with Van Heflin, and Marcel Pagnol's Topaze, with Ernie Kovacs...
...tried it ("I climb mountains because I am afraid of them, and conquest of fear is one of man's greatest needs"). Bonatti ranks among the world's finest mountaineers, is certainly one of the toughest. A Lombard laborer's son, he quit his steel mill job at 19 to become an Alpine guide and ski instructor. In 1954 he was the youngest member of the triumphant Himalayan expedition up K2. The next year he performed a fine one-man climb up Mont Blanc's Aiguille du Dru, survived six days and five nights while clawing...
...confident that the climate will change; he has already seen the extent to which the cold war has softened earlier attitudes against German industrial concentration. In many cases, deconcentration has been allowed to become only a paper fiction; e.g., Friedrich Flick's steel combine "sold" one steel mill to Flick's sons. Though Krupp keeps a close watch on his separated assets (Beitz sometimes calls the companies' managers in for reports), he has made no big move toward secret reconcentration. Alfried Krupp could legally sell his coal and steel holdings in Germany and invest the proceeds...
