...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, will be able to turn out 4,000,000 Ibs. a year of pure cobalt, or about 50% of U.S. consumption...
...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...

...acting just as benevolent, kind, homespun, cheerful, charming and chipper as could be. But he had been deluged all week by a rain of dead cats as big as tigers. As he strode into his press conference, he was fairly busting to tell the world that his heart was pure and that he was true to the red, white & blue. There had, he said right off, been a lot of hooey about seizure of the press & radio. The thought of seizing them had never occurred to him, and he couldn't imagine it happening. Then, stepping into his familiar...
