Raw Materials
Shortage Seen
Not too many Americans realize it yet, but the
joyride days of easy come, easy go may be ending.
Embedded in President Nixon’s newly restrictive
foreign economic policy (viewed harshly by our
principal trading partners, like Japan, Canada and
West Germany) is this hard nut:
We are beginning to run out of some essential raw
materials. It all came so easily for so long, we thought
we were dealing from a bottomless pit. Not so. The
toughest part of our worsening world trade equation is
our rising dependence on raw materials imports.
Today we are taking in from abroad about 25 per cent
of our annual petroleum consumption. With rising
population and diminishing domestic reserves (even
counting the Alaska find), we may be importing any-
where irom 45 per cent to 65 per cent of Our yearly oil
needs by 1960.
We have had to place rising reliance upon foreign
sources of iron ore and bauxite, the raw form of
aluminum. The alloy metals which harden steel for
specialty uses have never been plentiful here.
To make all this worse from our viewpoint, our
foreign suppliers are less and less content to sell us just
plain raw materials. A growing tendency in Canada
.. and elsewhere is.to a certain fcmount of
' upgrading’’ take place in the supplying country,
before a product can behold to foreign customers.
What this can mean is that we may find we have to
buy steel ingots or semifinished steel shapes instead of
iron ore. Obviously, the cost to us will be greater.*Not
to mention the potential hurt to our own steel-making
and semifinishing factory capacity.
It is perhaps too early for thick gloom. Nixon’s hew
commission on national materials policy is just getting
, under way and is not due to report until mid-1973. Its
recommendations may include some ways to ease the
growing materials pinch. '
For instance, there may be a good prospect that '
fuller use* of scrap metals, and other recycling
techniques, may. ease our mounting dependence on
other nations. One minerals specialist says that very
likely there are highly valuable amounts of manganese *.
contained in the slag waste product of steel-making)
which now is packed into hollows all around the Pitts-
burg area. '
No one imagines, however, that recycling and
recovery of usable materials from waste is a cheap
process. It all indicates a higher future price tag on
things we have taken for granted. Nor will a turn to
substitute materials (more use of plastics, for in-
stance) necessarily brighten the outlook. ' * '
The grand honeymoon, then, is nearly over. Chilling
reality is beginning to make its imprint on an
American nation which for almost two centuries has
lived with the dreamy unreality of even-flowing riches.
The thoughtful Daniel Boorstin, director of the
Smithsonian’s National Museum of History and *.
Technology, says: ; v
“We never felt we had to pay a price for anything.”
In fact, we have been paying heavy charge. The

"But Consider the Alternatives!?
By Al Meliager
Thera was a twinge of nostal-
glc surprise as I encountered
recently a news report that the
Police Gazette was having .a
birthday. The 128th, it was, and
this must surely make the old
pink tabloid the most vener-
able of exiating popular maga-
zines.

guished contemporaries as

ways there, rumpled by the
yokel hands of barber shop

Out of its pink pages I de-
veloped a whofoaome distaste

crime and lust and civic cor-
ruption were rampant and

WASHINGTON-A top State

turned to us to sound the

If there if anything worse
than dropping one's false eye-
lashes in a bowl of eoup (a mla-
hap described here previous-
ly), it must be flipping one's a
wig in public.
* My wigs and various falls
and hairpieces have gone •
slightly askew at times but
never, thank goodness, has one
come completely untethered.
Once, my long blonde fall al-
most fell, getting entwined
with the shoulder rest attacked
to the telephone receiver.
When 1 replaced the receiver,
my fojl went with it. Determin-
ed not to lose my head, I chose
to go with it too, foil and all.
For a few seconds there I was
taking no calls, painstakingly
undoing my hair from the tele- -
phone.
Another time, I rolled the car
window up on this long, cum-
bersome fall, not realizing
what had happened until I tried
to turn my head to see the traf-
fic. Now that is a feat they
never teach in driver’s ed -
how to drive with your head
immobilized by a car window.
The worst dilemma I ever
faced with falsified hair,
-though, pertained not to the
wearing of, but the carrying of,
a wig. j
This was the problem at the
Texas Press Women’s con-
clave in Corpus Christi when I>
tried to transport a wig on its
styrofoam base ever so dis-
creetly from the car to the mo-
tel and through a crowded lob-
by up to our room on the fifth
floor. Because the wig had
been set and teased and spray-
ed, I couldn’t just smush it into
my purse.
- Somehow I did not want the
bellboy to plop this coiffured
object on top of our suitcases
on the cart. And yet I did not
want to march “two-headed,”
so to speak, through the lobby,
my second head draped over
styrofoam.
Fay Venablo, sympathetic
with my plight, retrieved a big
straw hat from her car to place
on top of the wig. That didn’t
look right-either.

Some of Culbertson's ideas
were ahead of his time.
Some were Culbertson at his
worst. He hated no-trump
openings. Probably because
the old auction bidders never
understood when to use
them. By 1935 he had finally
put a standard no-trump in
the Culbertson system but
he restricted it to 4-3-J-3 dis-
tribution.
Hence Mrs. Culbertson had
to open with qne spade. This
suited Ely’s hand to a "T."
He had tremendous spade
support and was void of dia-
monds. Furthermore, he had
a new, Culbertson bid to
show it. His four diamond
call showed specifically a
diamond void and enough
for four spades. \ ~
Our modern splinter bid-
ders would be proud of Ely's
1935 idea.
Sims was not going to be
shut out with his freak hand
and went to five clubs, Mrs.
Culbertson doubled. She had
a home-made diamond lead
and rather expected to
slaughter the maestro.
The slaughter didn’t event-
uate. She opened ace and an-
other diamond. Ely ruffed
and led the king of hearts.
Sims ruffed and played a
trump. Jo took her ace and
then played spades instead
of giving Ely a second dia-
mond ruff. Down only two,
less a 100 honors.
Jo many or may not have
been wise to give up on the
spade slam. A heart lead by
North arid a club return
would almost surely defeat
it, but with the normal club
opening six would wheel in
provided Mrs. Culbertson
played North for the queen
of trumps.

Specialization
,, With-the growth of the pet population outstripping
human population growth in the U.S. and Canada, the
inevitable has happened: Specialization has come to
the field of veterinary medicine.
At Amherst Veterinary Hospital in Ontario, for ex-
ample, one doctor is leaning toward ophthalmology
and feline’diseases while his partner is interested in
orthopedics and radiology. A third doctor concentrates
on bird diseases while a fourth is a heart specialist.
. If specialization comes, can Blue Leash orPet-i-care
be far behind?

Premier Aleksei Kosygin on a"
coup de theatre.
Unless the trend is reversed,
the alarmed official makes
these predictions:
President Nixon has
delivered a series of stunning •
blows to Japan’s Prime •
Minister Eisaku Sato, whose'
government has been our
staunchest ally in Asia. These
buffetings will bring Sato'a
downfall. Sato’s sucessork
seeking to avoid the same polk
tical pitfall, will take pains to
demonstrate his independence
of the U.S. ,
..r . The Nixon Administration, in
its global maneuvers, has
virtually ignored Latin
America. Among the resentful
Latin Americans, hostility
toward the U.S. is on the rise.
The first manifestation will be
a resumption of diplomatic,
economic and political tterU*
tween our Latin American
allies and Communist Cuba.
This will be followed by closer
contacts with China and
Russia. By the end Of the
decade, Latin America will be
Washington’s biggest"
headache.
U.S. pressure upon Israel
will result in the reopening of
the SuOz-AJdnal. But most of
all, this will benefit the Soviets
by linking up their Mediterran-
ean an d Indian Ocean
Meanwhile, they will move ini
the vacuum created by the
British departure from the
Persian Gulf. This will give the
Soviets a finji, hand on the
world oil faucet. * ;
President Nixon’s new pro-
tectionist policies have already
caused angry rumblings in
Western Europe. Trade battles
reminiscent of the early 1930s
can be expected. This will lead,
as it did in the 1930s, to a world-
official. He agrees the White
House should set the nation's
course-without consulting the *
professional diplomats, if the
President wishes. But the pro-,
fessionals should be used to
implement the policies once
(Jiey're set.
The official fiercely believes
' that urgent steps must be taken,
to halt the worldwide recession
of U,S. power and prestige. For
„ one, he • suggests the U.S.
should strive to put Japan, the
world's third industrial power,
on the Security Council., He
thinks Latin American coun-
tries should also be invited to
join the U.S. in a Common
Market geared to increase
hemispheric prosperity.
■ It will take dramatic moves,
be warns, to stop the'diplo-
matic deteroration. The old
diplomacy no longer is good
