’Copter Service 7,000 Feet Up 8C Down
Lifeline to Men on Big Power Project
In the mountainous wilds of British Columbia, where the Aluminum
Company of Canada (Alcan) is actually reversing rivers in their
course and blasting one of two 10-mile tunnels through mountains to
complete what can be the world’s largest aluminum-producing center,
one of a fleet of helicopters rises from a company campsite after deliv
ering supplies and materials to construction crews. Because of the rug
ged terrain, great heights and lim- i
ited landing space, only 'Copters
can be used to supply the men
working on the towers and cables.
At left is airview of the base camp
at Kemano, hub of the multi-mil
lion dollar project. Never before
in modem times has one indus
trial plant promised to increase so
enormously the North American
production of aluminum which to
day finds some 4,000 diversified
uses ranging from sardine cans to
jet planes. Aluminium Limited’s
Alcan project can have an ulti
mate capacity of 660,000 tons of
the metal—equal to 63 per cent of
the 1952 U. S. production.

French Beat Back
3,000 Vietminh 20
Miles From Hanoi
HANOI, Indochina, UR—Viet
minh legions tightened their pin
cers on Hanoi today but the war
capital’s French defenders claim
they have beat back an attack by
3,000 rebels only 20 miles from
the city and killed at least 300
of the Communist-led force.
The French said they repulsed
the attack on three French Union
posts south of Hanoi after five
hours of bitter fighting yesterday.
The French admitted their own
losses were “appreciable” but
gave no figures.
Other rebel units surged in
from the northeast and northwest
to strike at French outposts 25
miles above the imperiled city.
Clashes were reported yester
day at scores of points as the Viet
minh kept up their pressure.
Four Vietminh kept up their
pressure.
Four Vietminh battalions today
slammed against Lekhu, three
miles north of the key post of
Yung Yen, in an apparent attempt
to cut the Hung Yen-Hanoi supply
line. They were hit by a fierce
counterattack, spearheaded by
tanks. French forces had expected
such an attack and were lying in
wait, the briefing officer said.
French artillery and planes
pounded the rebel forces for three
hours, with the Vietminh break
ing and withdrawing five hours
later.
Siamese Twin Dies After
Emergency Operation
LONG BEACH, N.Y., UP)—A baby
boy, separated from his undevel
oped Siamese twin in an attempt
to save his life, died today about
12 hours after the emergency op
eration.
Efforts to save the life of the
8-pound, 15-ounce baby at Long
Beach Memorial Hospital were re
ported by hospital administrator
William A. Kozma.
The child was attached at the
breast bone to a withered, unde
veloped twin. Kozma said no vital
organ appeared to link the two
and only a small blood vessel
joined their circulation systems.
