...Bonn is committed to preserve the jobs of most of West Germany's 306,000 coal miners, fears the power at the polls of the 600,000-member union of coal, iron-ore and potash miners.

...almost nothing in 1946 to $37 million in 1955, some $48 million last year. Much of the new industry is homegrown, but much more comes from foreign businessmen and mainland Italians who know a good thing when they see it. Italy's Montecatini Co. recently opened a big potash works near Syracuse employing 2,000 workers, is already building a second to tap newly discovered deposits 55 miles inland. French chemical, German beer and electric-power companies are also moving...
