World of Science

THE BIG BOMBERS and Superfortresses that fly over Germany and the islands of the Pacific contain engine parts from magnesium extracted from the Atlantic ocean. This “mining” of the sear in the opinion of some of the natiows leading metallurgists, represents the chief accomplishment in that fleld in world war IL However, other metallurgists would put the development of the so-called “national ‘ emergency” steels at the head of the list of wartime accomplishments. In the eprly days of the war, American steelmakers found themselves faced by a shortage of alloying materials, With the impetus SE of researches directed through the National Research Council, metallurgists undertook to break this bottleneck. The result was the so-called national emergency 8 or N. E steel alloys. It was found that alloys formerly made with high percentages of one or two alloying elements could be replaced by ones containing lower percentages of additional elements.

Opinions Evenly Spread

THE TWO accoraplishments just mentioned are among 10 listed in a poll of 150 leading metallurgists, engineers, materials men, and company executives conducted by the journal, Metals and Alloys. The journal found the division of opinion too evenly spread to make it wise to try and list the 10 leading choices in any given order.

“They put a phoney mustache on me and a widow's peak because I looked too young,” he recalled. “If I would have smiled, it would have been too bad. I saw the picture again a coupie of years later. ... I think that’s what gave me ulcers.” Now with Universal studios, the Indianapolis actor recently completed “Can't Help Singing” with Deanna = Durbin. The picture, filmed in technicolor, is a perio movie, telling of a covered wagon train which starts from Independence, Mo., for California in the 1849 gold rush.

the silence over the Philippines after the fall of Corregidor was broken by a radio signal late in the autumn of 1942, Lifts Curtain of Silence “That signal, weak and spotty as it was, lifted the curtain of silence and uncertainty, and disclosed the start of a human drama with few parallels in military history,” MacArthur said. “In it I recognized the spontaneous movement of the Filipino people to resist the shackles with which the enemy sought to bind them, both physically and

spiritually. .

“I saw a people in one of the most tragic hours of human history, bereft of all reason for hope and without material support, endeavoring, despite the stern realities confronting them, to ‘hold aloft the flaming torch of liberty, I gave this movement all spiritual and material support that my limited resources would permit.” At first he was able to send in by submarine only driblets of arms, ammunition and medical supplies. Then, with his resources increased, he stepped up the flow until four submarines finally were committed exclusively to the task.

The veteran Democratic sena= tor, now fighting hard for ree election, doubtless expected vote= getting results from inclusion of this proposal in the receat report of his special committee on de= centralization of industry. 8 » EJ HE HAS been getting some off« the-record advice, which he may not have expected, that among Californians who think he went much too far are Governor Ear] Warren, Attorney General Robert Kenny, a McCarran political pal, and State Post-War Director A. R. Heron, as well as many indus- = trialists and businessmen.

THE WEST, he is being told, shouldn't talk of freezing any pro- : ductive . plant anywhere in the country. It does want Western opportuni. ties unfrozen. It does want fair treatment in reconversion of ine

dustry for production of civilian goods, ;

» . . BUT IT favors expansion, not only of the Pacific coast’s new industrial and foreign-trade frontiers, but also of production and employment everywhere in the United States. Therefore it should ® | favor operation of every possible plant, East, West, North and South. The McCarran committee—come posed of senators from Nevada, Iowa, Alabama, Utah, Idahe, North Dakota and Wyoming—held that for an indefinite period after the fall of Germany, governm ent. owned war plants in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, Ohio, | Michigan and Illinois should be kept out of use for civilian production. ; Meanwhile, the report asserted, the government should promote use of such plants in the West

2 # * SENDING them home would solve the problem so far as Washington is concerned—but it won't solve the problem of the girls’ safety. ; For if the girls can’t take care of themselves in Washington there is no reason to suppose they won't get in trouble somewhere else, even, perhaps, in their own home towns.

Girls aren't safe anywhere these days if they are trusting enough to let themselves be picked up by service men, if they run around

IT SEEMS the most practical thing that Washington could do at this point to safeguard the
