...restriction of dangerous work to ADA would not only simplify that body's inspection job, but would give a clear warning if any nation encroached on ADA's field. ADA's supply of raw material and fissionable output suitable for bombs would be strategically distributed, so that no one nation could gain an advantage by seizing ADA's supplies and installations within its own borders. The Acheson planners concluded that it would be almost impossible for any nation to hide a complete bomb-making process from ore mine to finished weapon, or even to "re-nature...
...wishes General Clark to know that the Soviet Union does not need pig iron from anyone." Replied Clark quietly: "All right then, let's take the case of oil." The Russians, who never admit publicly that the Red Army needs oil, agreed to let almost the entire Zistersdorf output go to cover Austria's own needs...
Dark Spots. Detroit's automakers, still in low gear, turned out only 47,000 cars and trucks last week. This week, output should increase and next week jump, thanks to a big boost when Ford gets back into production. But no one was even guessing when automakers would reach their 1941 figure of 130,000 units a week. Packard's George Christopher solemnly warned that the CPA order on steel (and another priority system upcoming on iron castings and pig iron) may cut all car production again to a dribble. And the industry was still plagued by suppliers...
...food subsidies, guarantee every producer and distributor a "reasonable" (and undefined) profit margin, and end price controls whenever production of an article reached the 1941 level. That combination of pressure-group policies would raise the indexes a good 25 percent at once, with further sharp boosts to follow as output really begins to flow. Establishing 1941 supply s the norm looks good at first sight, but on closer examination resembles an attempt to measure the avalanche with a rain-gauge. For five years the consumer has been starved for goods, and has amassed an unprecedented total of liquid wherewithal...
...took a world war to slow down William Saroyan's output. Even critics who found his 20-odd books and plays raddled with verbosity and cuteness conceded that they were sometimes beauty-spotted with comic genius. Saroyan, out of the Army now, is 37, a bit heavier, a bit graver, and a well-domesticated citizen of San Francisco. He lives in a two-story stucco house, with wife Carol and two children (Aram, 2½, and Lucy, four months), sprinkles the lawn, and sits at his work desk studying the Racing Form with practiced...
