...political logic, all arguments point to union with Germany. But both sides recognize that the Saar is the smelter for the iron mines of Lorraine in France, and cannot thrive in the German market cut off from Lorraine. Even the Saar's Germans recognize this: in the 1952 elections, they gave a surprisingly heavy majority to parties supporting continued economic linkage with France. Ideally, most look hopefully for the day when a real European community would allow them to get their iron from Lorraine while allied with Germany politically...

A militantly proletarian film about striking Mexican-American zinc miners in New Mexico (sponsored by the Red-run International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers), Salt even won the measured approval of the staid Times: "American films as a whole proclaim that . . . the American way of life [comes] as near to perfection as is possible . . .

In the Kitimat smelter, the power processed the alumina into the first 4O-lb. ingot of Kitimat aluminum...
...years ago Aluminum Co. of America announced a plan to build a huge aluminum smelter at Skagway, Alaska, to be powered by harnessing the waters of the upper Yukon River. The project was to cost $400 million. But there was one hitch. The Canadian government wanted the industry to be located where the power came from: in Canada. Last week Alcoa's big plan became just a set of useless blueprints. British Columbia gave the go-ahead for developing the vast power potential of the Yukon to Canada's Ventures Ltd., big mining and metal holding company headed...
