Price Unknown No one knows exactly how much it costs the Russians to produce a pound of aluminum.

Revnolds said this i ton eh on America's free enterprise aluminum makers because me ionunes oi tne American aluminum market are tied to the conditions of the world Reynolds ties this aluminum export program of the Soviets to the success of their Sput niks. It reasons that the ad vent of the guided missile age has reducpH thi dpmanrl fnr aluminum mainly for air planes and so the Russians have turned to using alumi num as a weapon in the battle for foreign markets. Continued Producina "Sienificantlv. the Russians did not to our knowledge cut back production to adjust to the new situation. Thev con tinued producing and expand ing. Aluminum, until 1955 used to make their weapons had now become a weanon .' Reynolds savs that in 1955 Russia produced 16 per cent of the world's supply, the U.S. produced 46 Der cent. Canada 18 per cent and Europe 18 per cent. By 1960 the firm esti mates U.S. will produce 43 per cent, Canada 19 per cent, Russia 18 per cent and Europe 15 per cent.

It quoted a Rus sian who defected to the West as having said Menshikov ad vised economic officials going to East Germany as follows: 'Political Profit 'Dress tastefully, live in the best house, drive a fine auto mobile, entertain many for eign guests, make influential friends and always be kindly and polite. Only thus can you eain economic profits, and, what is more important, polit ical profit. Last month Soviet Premier Kruschev sent President Ei- TJ nnA lntfflr sennuwer an eigin-yogc listing many items the Rus sians would be willing to ex change under a new trade agreement. On the list of "wanted" items, Russia, listed eauipment for rolling non- ferrous metal.

Amman The innumerable remains of ruined settlements in the Jordan Valley area have one thing in common from Roman times, some kind of water system. Yesterday, for example, we came across the remains of a settlement that had only a few traces of foundations and a large cistern, about 40 feet across. A small stream, four Zs That 50 or five inches deep, flowed out of it to disappear in the scrub on its way to the lower reaches of the Jordan. We came on the place so quietly that we frightened a loon or grebe, probably the latter.

(UPI) Carnival worker Rudy Bray awoke Wednesday in the wash room of the Canadian Pacific Railway station to find the $28 he had in his new brown suit missing. Also missing was the suit. r Time v- - '1 8 -- v S By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist and then took off for some other place. Aware that the presence of such a bird meant good fish ing, I peered into the water. It was clear, maybe 15 feet deep, and well populated with fish. Most of them were seven or eight inches long and on the order of our chubs, but I saw a few of the1 spiny-finned type rather like our sunfish. One of these latter, consid erably larger than the rest, was swimming in a circle, to the left. He was minus his right eye. Interesting Point The point was an interest ing one because of the grebe. On several occasions I had heard of fishes of this type be ing caught minus one or both eyes and sometimes with other severe head wounds. The sharp - billed grebe, which feeds' almost exclusively on fish, is generally blamed for these mutilations, and I am in clined to think the blame quite justified. Doubtless the grebe has no intention of injuring the fish in that manner, and almost certainly he does not regard the eye as a tidbit. What probably happens is that he occasionally goes after a fish head-on, the fish proves too large for him to swallow and he discovers his mistake only after he has already punc tured it in the head. If that is the correct explan ation for the first wound, it is easy to see that an injured fish, made slower in its move ments, would inevitably at tract attacks from the same or other grebes before the atten tion of the birds would be di verted by other prey of a more suitable size.
