Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Red-hot, this steel plate is shaped on the mold to form a stern section for a member of the "Liberty Fleet," under construction at a large Eastern shipyard. The work is being done at a nearby plant formerly used for the building of freight cars. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland

A poster comes to life. Squinting against the terrific glare and bursts of steam charging up from a strip of red-hot steel which moves slowly past them, Sergeant Vineyard and Chief Evans pause with welder Woolslayer to watch precious river, which comes off the blooming mill and rolls toward the four-high strip mill at Allegheny-Ludlum. They're learning a lot, these servicemen of the "Men Working Together" poster, learning how their lives depend on the production workers of the country, without whose skill and strength the weapons of war could not be forged. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Anaconda smelter, Montana. Anaconda Copper Mining Company. Concentrate, known as calcine, is moved red-hot from the roasting furnaces to the reverberatory smelting furnaces. In the reverberatory furnace the second major elimination of impurities is accomplished; in this furnace two products are produced: one, the matte which contains the precious metals and copper; the other, the slag, which contains impurities which float on the surface. The slag is poured off and sent to the dump

Meeting of New York's mayor and housing administrator ends in love feast. Washington, D.C., Dec. 11. What promised to be a red-hot meeting between U.S. Housing Administrator Nathan Straus (left) and New York Mayor Fiorella La Guardia took the form of a love feast before the confab ended. Straus said he had always considered Mayor La Guardia the best New York had had in his memory. While he noted New York's Housing Authority was starting two weeks late because it had not sent representatives to exploratory conferences, Administrator Straus promised La Guardia that they would receive the "same prompt consideration" of low cost housing project as any other community. 12/1/37
