Indian troops in East Africa. These photos show the large-scale production of Indian iron and steel by the well-known Indian firm of Tatas at work in the sheet mill. Like Tuaregs, the veiled men of the Sahara, they muffle their faces as much as they can and for the same reason the Tuaregs did, to shield their faces from the fierce heat of the desert sand blazing in the sunshine and the men of the sheet mill to protect themselves from the savage heat given off by the sheets of red hot metal which litter the floor of the mill

Conversion. Electric shaver plant. This Norton type C six-inch semi-automatic cylindrical grinder in a New England plant used to grind motor shafts for the firm's normal production of electric dry shavers. It is now grinding spring collets which are used in turning machines to hold the work being turned. Such machines are vitally needed for the war production effort. The conversion of the machine was accomplished by replacing the one-inch vitrified aluminum oxide wheel shown here with a three-inch wheel and by enlarging the feed of the cutting solution. Tolerances on this war work are only .002 inches as compared with the tolerances on the normal production of .0002 inches (see pix #D-2974). Schick Inc., Stamford, Connecticut

Harriman, Ripley, & Co. owner holds firm never violated banking laws. Washington, D.C., Dec. 12. Testifying before the Monopoly Committee this morning, W. Averill Harriman, Wall Street Financier, asserted and was corroborated by his partner, J.P. Ripley, that the firm of Harriman, Ripley, & Co. set up in 1934, was not established to side-step the Banking Act of 1933. The act divorced securities business from commerical banking in banking houses. He asserts that the firm was set up to provide for the future of those employees of the National City Co. whose investment and underwriting activities were ended by the Act of 1933. Photo shows Harriman as he was testifying this morning
