First Russian Chrome Lands First Russian Chrome Lands
A 6,700-ton chrome ore shipment from Russia to Baltimore last week marks the first chrome delivery to the United States this year. Government records show Russia's only prior 1950 shipment to the U S was 13,000,000 pounds of manganese ore. Chrome and manganese are vital for steel making and supply has shifted as Russia reduced manganese exports since 1949.

House Group Seeks Free Life Insurance for G I.s
A House committee proposed replacing the current military life insurance with a cost free indemnity for all armed forces members. The 68 page report on Veterans Administration National Life Insurance criticized NSLI as gratuity not insurance, noting government payments cover death or total disability related to service. It argued universal gratuitous indemnity would be fairer, cheaper, and keep government out of civilian insurance. Since 1940 NSLI cost taxpayers over 5.6 billion dollars, with death claims from extra hazard at about 4.04 billion.
