...most famous of U.S. portrait sculptors, glowering, grey-bearded Jo Davidson -dubbed "the headhunter" by the late Will Rogers because he has sculped more famous heads than any of his contemporaries-last week returned to the U.S. from his latest hunting trip. Sponsored by Nelson Rockefeller's committee for neighborly love, the trip had taken him through nine South American countries, where he had bagged portrait heads of nine Presidents and one ex-President (Venezuela's Eleazar Lopez Contreras...
...power just in time to use it. Priorities Chief Donald Nelson last week told a Congressional committee that 1,378,000 Ib. of copper, some of it "undoubtedly Axis-owned," lay in U.S. warehouses, untouchable despite the acute copper shortage.

...undertaken. He estimated that it would take 1.3% of current steel capacity (over 1,100,000 tons) in each of the next two years to build the new furnaces. With priorities as high as A-3 already a joke, that looks like a lot of steel-unless Don Nelson's famed inventory study turns up some big hoards of the right kind of steel, and his new allocation program (TIME, Oct. 6) succeeds in prying it loose...
