...tied Joey Smallwood, once a St. John's newsman, has been Premier through the whole decade of confederation. When he first took over, he earmarked some $25 million for an industrial development program that is beginning to produce results. Government-aided surveys turned up fabulous deposits of iron ore in Newfoundland's mainland territory of Labrador; one is now being mined, the other is scheduled to go into production in the 1960s.

The danger of this precedent, said Treasury, is that the allowances could be carried to ridiculous extremes, with claims being allowed for structural steel, ceramics, pig aluminum, etc. The allowance on two tons of iron ore is $2.40, said Treasury, but would jump to $44.25 if computed on the value of steel bolts made from the ore. The Treasury already stands to lose $297 million in claims for rebates now being asked for in court, could lose as much as $600 million annually if the new interpretation...
Soon after the two dailies in Portland, Ore. started cash-prize crossword-puzzle contests last November, the entries were pouring in at a tidal rate-57,000 a week to the afternoon Oregon Journal (circ. 182,956), about 60.000 a week to the morning Oregonian (circ. 233.856).

Henry Krumb grew rich as an internationally famed mining consultant, and in particular as an authority on low-grade copper ore. He sought to repay his debt in many ways, served as a trustee from 1941-47, and gave some $550,000 over the years to the university...
