...soon due on this front. And here the winter comes late. The Germans, apparently feeling that they had plenty of time to break through to the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea, last week went to work establishing bridge heads across the Dnieper. The destruction of the mighty Dnieperstroy Dam, confirmed last week by German pictures {see cut}, seemed to prevent crossings...
...aluminum shortage, OPM did finally name Kalunite's parent company (Olin Corp.) to operate a Government-owned plant. But OPM did not specify whether alunite ore could be used, hemmed & hawed over location of the plant. Eichelberger wanted to build on tidewater at Tacoma, use Bonneville Dam power. He called on Clifton H. Chadwick, an OPM consulting engineer, to suggest this plan. His description of the meeting: "I was treated with all the courtesy of a cross-eyed stepchild." Later Chadwick visited the site, ruled that it was unsuitable, suggested another location "15 miles out in the woods" where...

...other hand the great Dnieper Dam may have been destroyed (see p. 10) and various Russian cities had already been reported ruined by Russian hands. The retreat had been slow enough to make possible some industrial destruction (factories cannot be destroyed by the hasty heaving of dynamite sticks).

...plants will be in Massena, N.Y., the Bonneville Dam region, somewhere in Arkansas. In Arkansas Alcoa will also build a plant to produce 400,000,000 lb. a year of alumina (intermediate step between bauxite ore and the finished metal). The plants (cost: $52,000,000) will be operated by Alcoa under a five-year lease. For its managerial services, Alcoa will get a meager 15% of the profits, the Government the rest...
