Italy, which mines less iron ore than tiny Luxembourg and depends on its neighbors for nine-tenths of its coal, has everything to gain and almost nothing to lose from the pool. Despite heckling by the largest membership of Communists in any Western European legislature, the Chamber of Deputies passed the Schuman Plan by a handsome 265-98 majority. Next step: the appointment of the nine-man High Authority to start the plan rolling. If all goes well, Western Europe should have a common market for coal, iron and steel by spring next year...
...farm at Myrtle Point. Ore. last week, 85-year-old Theodore Milton ("Tex") Stover got to reminiscing about one of his nephews, a youngster named Dwight Eisenhower, whom he last saw when Ike was nine. "That boy kinda worried his mother," said Uncle Tex. "We used to talk about that boy-thought he might become a criminal ... he was such a fun-loving youngster. He used to saw the backs off the kitchen chairs, but we could never see him do it." Stover said he was proud of the boy today, but still planned to vote as he always...
While the U.S. has deposits of cobalt ore, much of it is low-grade and expensive to recover. As a result, 90% of the cobalt consumed by the U.S. (more than 8,200,000 Ibs. a year) comes from Africa, which has abundant supplies. Cyanamid's process, developed by its Chemical Construction Corp. subsidiary, will enable the U.S. to utilize its own low-grade ores more cheaply, and produce pure cobalt from them at a much faster rate. For example, Howe Sound Co., for which "Chemico" is building a new $2,500,000 Utah plant to utilize the process...
Chemico's Kansas-born chief engineer, Edward S. Roberts, 48, has been working on the process for 18 years; the company spent some $3,000,000 on research perfecting it. It starts by immersing ground crude ore in chemicals and water to float out some foreign matter. The Chemico method, using ammonia or acid, dissolves this concentrate in an "autoclave," similar to a huge pressure cooker. The resulting ore-bearing liquid is piped through a filter into another pressure vessel, where terrific heat and force precipitate the pure metal as a fine powder...
...headed West last week to speak at a Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner in Portland, Ore., Illinois' Governor Adlai Stevenson suddenly looked, to wistful brigades of Administration Democrats, like a presidential candidate all over again. He was not only on the ballot in Oregon, but he was traveling 1,900 miles to speak to the voters of the Pacific Northwest. No, cried Adlai, no, no, no, no. This line of reasoning was all a horrible mistake. He had agreed to make the speech months ago, and somebody had slipped his name on the ballot without his consent...
