Accurate Gold Coast figures have always been as hard to find as Dr. Livingstone. How much cocoa was being burned, no one knew, not even Mr. Winfried Musa Tete-Ansa, managing director of the Gold Coast and Ashanti Farmers Union, who last week was in Manhattan and available for questioning. Guesses ran from 500 tons to 5,000. Mr. Tete-Ansa himself has advised his farmers to burn "at least 40,000 tons." Last week the price was down to 6? a pound. Whether or not great quantities had been burned since October, only 44,000 tons of Gold Coast...
...managed the herculean job of fixing 30,000 minimum prices for soft coal produced east of the Mississippi (TIME, Dec. 27). By last week it became apparent that the commission, in its haste, had erred on the side of being too Napoleonic. The Association of American Railroads, whose members burn 22% of U.

But Carter Coal's thunder was stolen on the same day when the mighty Association of American Railroads, whose members burn 22% of U. S. soft coal, got an injunction from the Federal Court of Appeals in Washington staying all the minimum prices set up to govern railroad buying. The railroads boasted no such constitutional purpose as Carter Coal; they merely maintained that the prices were illegal because the Commission...
...going to crack up we might as well sit down like a couple of men-and take it. ... I realized what a man feels like when he sits down in the electric chair. ... I wrote a note to my wife. I felt we were going to crash and probably burn up. I figured that is what you do when you crash. You usually burn so I wrote this note . . . put it in my pocket hoping they would find it if it did not burn too. . . . I prayed plenty. I was going to put Him to work if I could. When...
