...said, 'We're out of food!' " The occasion: the diehards of U.S. Senator Harry Byrd's powerful political machine, aware that the state's massive resistance laws had collapsed, and that Governor J. Lindsay Almond Jr. was making points with a local-option plan, were determined to rough up Almond in a rearguard action...
...Deux. Undaunted, Tito and Dame Margot a few days later assembled Nola, Elaine and a second shrimper, Mary Ann, to raise the sunken arms. As they brought up the boat, Tito talked enthusiastically of his plan to attack a National Guard post. Mary Ann headed for port, Elaine took the outboard in tow, and Tito headed for a secluded island to finish the arms transfer undisturbed except for the pop of Dame Margot's flashbulbs. But the spoilsport crew of the Mary Ann, reaching port, spilled the whole plan to the National Guard...
...manufacturers' sales). But it is a timely warning of the far greater challenge that the U.S. faces abroad. In the early postwar years the U.S. dominated world trade by virtue of its new plants and techniques, and lack of competition. But no longer. Now, thanks to the Marshall Plan and other U.S. aid programs, plus the spending of private business, plants just as efficient as those in the U.S. are turning out goods around the world. Britain's $490 million Abbey steelworks in South Wales is a fully integrated ore-to-plate plant on a par with...
...Kaiser plan, masterminded by ten experts who hopscotched the country for six weeks, foresees harnessing the power of the crocodile-infested Volta River to work aluminum plants. First step is to build a 230-ft.-high dam near Kosombo (see map), 60 miles northeast of Accra, then add two satellite dams. They would generate 974,000 kw. (100 times as much as produced now in Ghana), back up a man-made lake that would equal the world's biggest (3,500 sq. mi.), which itself would create a new fishing industry to improve the protein-shy Ghanaian diet. Cost...
Three years ago, when Ghana was still the British colonial Gold Coast, a British team submitted a similar plan-but it was too costly. By using what the British called "exceptional" U.S. engineering methods, Kaiser cut projected costs from $900 million in the original British plan to $600 million, boosted power capacity by 40% and aluminum capacity by 10%, reduced building Lime from eight years to five. Equally important, Kaiser's Volta plan would slash power costs-now 23 mills per kw-h in Ghana-to 2 or 2½ mills for aluminum processors, 6 or 7 mills...
