...result, says Dr. Ivor Cornman in Cancer Research, is that the U.S. is "submerged in carcinogens, few of which we can recognize." Biologist Cornman, of the Hazleton Laboratories in Falls Church, Va., is not exercised about coal-tar derivatives used in dye-making, some oil products, chromate and uranium ore dusts: their hazards are recognized and it is up to industry (with a prod from government) to see that they are used safely. Neither is he alarmed by chemicals added to food: these are being tested for safety (though in many cases belatedly...
...billion. Oil production has nearly doubled to 2,700,000 bbl. a day, and with new wells coming in at record rates, oilmen foresee that it may rise another 85% by 1966. Oil now accounts for about $2 billion in exports, or about 95% of the yearly total. Iron-ore production, mostly by the United States Steel Corp. mines at Cerro Bolivar, increased by a third in 1957 to about 15 million tons. Irrigation projects and rapid farm mechanization have boosted agriculture until Venezuela now produces 85% of its own food. New investments and a protectionist policy for inefficient industry...
Among the more practical projects are the country's first petrochemical plant at Morón ($75 million) and an industrial complex of a steel mill and a 300,000 kw. hydroelectric plant being hacked out of the desolate countryside near ore-rich Cerro Bolivar. Also built or building are railroads, schools and housing. But many projects are notably frivolous. Item: a $30-million cable-car sightseeing system, with oxygen-equipped cars, to the top of 15,380-ft. Mount Espejo...
Married. Cyrus Stephen Eaton, 73, silver-haired Cleveland tycoon (steel, iron ore, coal, railroads); and Cleveland Socialite Anne Kinder Jones, 35, confined to a wheelchair by polio since 1946; both for the second time; in Northfield, Ohio...
...second big challenge to Fiat. The first he won handily. He maneuvered Fiat out of its share of a joint Fiat-Innocenti contract to build a $342 million Venezuelan mine-to-mill steel complex on the Orinoco River to exploit a nearby mountain of high-grade (up to 60%) ore. Innocenti left Italy a year ago, planned to spend a few days looking into the Venezuelan prospects. The more he looked the better he liked what he saw; after five months he told the Venezuelan government that he could do a better job without Fiat, had a reported $30 million...
