...million contract for construction of the dam has been awarded to an international consortium led by the Oppenheimer's huge Anglo American Corp. of South Africa. The group also includes Siemens and Telefunken of West Germany, Compagnie de Constructions Internationales of France, plus Swedish and South African firms.* Financing will be entirely through foreign credits and loans arranged by the consortium.

...hopes to triple the volume of Berlin-Soviet trade this year, and Moscow's festival is sure to help. But though Berlin's fashion industry has made the biggest eastward strides, the city's Siemens and Telefunken electronics plants, its razor-blade factories and other industries are also sending salesmen behind the Iron Curtain.

...with a far stronger voice: a powerful, new transmitting station (cost: about $3,200,000). Located on a 200-acre tract at Santa Maria di Galeria, twelve miles northwest of Rome, the 100-kw. main transmitter, more powerful by 40 kw. than Marconi's, is equipped with 24 Telefunken directional aerials (designed to overcome variations in signal strength caused by fluctuations in the ionosphere). A second, medium-distance transmitter, able to blanket the Mediterranean basin, will replace the short-range broadcaster, but will not interfere with Rome's stations, as the old unit...
