Indicted by a federal grand jury in Denver last week: 14 officials and staff members of the Communist-dominated International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers. They were charged with conspiring to defraud the U.S. by obtaining the services of the National Labor Relations Board without lawfully qualifying the union for those services, i.e., some had "pretended" to resign from the Communist Party and had filed false non-Communist affidavits with the NLRB. Among the indicted: "Mine-Mill's'' eye-patched onetime President Maurice E. Travis. 46. already under an eight-year federal sentence (and free...
Before the Illinois work was finished, the Federal Government asked Dr. Hamilton to do a similar job. This kept her roving through mine, mill and smelter for a dozen years. She combatted the effects of such anciently known poisons as mercury, used by hatters in matting felt and a frequent cause of brain damage (hence, some say, the expression "mad as a hatter"). And she fought ultramodern lethal concoctions-TNT, aniline dyes, picric acid, which stained its workers so yellow that they were dubbed "canaries."

Breitenstein, Travis, 45, drew eight years in prison and an $8,000 fine-the heaviest punishment yet inflicted for perjury on a Taft-Hartley affidavit. Said Communist Travis: "I have been a radical, a nonconformist all my adultlife...
When San Manuel hits full production, perhaps by midsummer, it will process 30,000 tons of ore daily and yield 70,000 tons of copper yearly, plus 3.000 tons of molybdenum as a byproduct. Thus Magma, which has only one other smelter (at Superior, Ariz.), will boost its total copper production to almost 100,000 tons yearly, jump from sixth to third place among U.S. producers (after Kennecott and Phelps Dodge). At peak production San Manuel will expand U.S. copper output by 8%, molybdenum...
