...week-long briefing by State Department and U.N. experts before splitting into work parties in ten West African states. Joined by African students for two months of hard labor, they live in primitive villages and tackle man-sized jobs: a youth center in Senegal, a small hospital in Cameroon, a library in Liberia. To test their changing attitudes toward Africa, a researcher from M.I.T.'s Center for International Studies has gone along to travel from group to group talking to the students; he will later return to the villages to see what lingering impression the students have made...

Its search for additional sources of cheap power (and cheap raw materials) has also led it to Africa, where it joined an international consortium, including Olin-Mathieson, to build an aluminum plant in Cameroon, helped build an ore-processing plant in Guinea (with a housing development and community swimming pool), is planning still other plants in Guinea and the Republic of the Congo. Its Lacq plant will raise the company's aluminum capacity to 200,000 tons, about four times its 1949 capacity...
