 NOME, Alaska - A mine that produces no ore but, rather, al- most pure metal is under devel- opment about 35 miles north of here.
 It is the only native bismuth mine in the world, in deposit that is mineralogically unique. Nowhere else, so far as is known, does bismuth occur in it's native, or pure-metal, state.
 Production of this metal here tofore has been achieved entirely as a by-product of copper and lead ores.
 Around million and a half pounds of bismuth are consumed yearly in the United States-in manufacture of pharmaceutical salts and low-melting-point sold CTS such as are used in fire-pre- vention sprinkler heads.
 Just recently, however, more ambitious and valuable uses have been found for bismuth.
 Combined with uranium, it forms one of the fluid fuels neces- sary in an atomic power plant.
 It is the most diamagnetic metal known: sphere or bar of 1t is repelled by magnet. When present in other metals, even in small quantities, bismuth renders them brittle and decreases their electrical conductivity.
 Recently a method has been de- veloped for manufacture of duc- tile bismuth wire-which, when it is placed in magnetic field, becomes less conductive electric ally.
 This property opens up a wide field for improved current and voltage-control components in K ray, radio, television, electronic- calculator and other applications.
 Bismuth is the most negative material known for electric thermocouples, and it is the only variable rectifier known. It has greater resistance change due to temperature variation than any other electrical conductor.
 Anticipating increased demand for this magic metal" the so- called Paley report on Resources for Freedom" submitted in 1852, says that by 1875 it is likely that five million pounds of bismuth may be needed annually for US. consumption.
 That amount of bismuth prob ably cannot be supplied from the usual copper and lead ore by product sources.
 Also, says the Paley report, 'sBismuth production has in the past been limited by cartel activi- ties" Most bismuth for US. con- sumption now comes from Peru, Canada, Yugoslavia and Mexico.
 Despite the anticipated sharp increase in demand for bisnuth, however, government authorities maintain that stockpiles of the metal are sufficient. Ell. Weaver, assistant director for materials of the Office of Defense Mobiliza- ton, says:
 There are more than ample supplies (of bismuth) for defense needs and. therefore, this agency could not justify the expenditure of government funds for further expansion of new sources of bis rnuth at this time"

2. The council has achieved

Under those conditions 1t must
have been apparent to Soviet
strategists that the time had come
to follow the principle, II you

In doing so, the USSR takes q
calculated, though at the present
time remote risk. One Of the
achievements Of the Nordic Council
Is the formation Of common labor
market. While there is near full
employment in Norway, Sweden
and Denmark, there Is Q labor
surplus In Finland. With Finland's
entry into the Nordic Council. the
shift Of Finnish labor surplus to the
other Scandinavian countries win
undoubtedly be accentuated. Though
these Finnish workers may well be
employed in non-military. non-stra-
tegic occupations and trades. they
win release manpower In the Scam
dinayian NATO countries. facilitate

Finnish Communist representa-
tives to the Nordic Council can be
counted upon to keep watchful
eye on such developments. They
are sure to put forth suggestions

There is only one way to stimu-
late such aggravations. Stalinism
showed the Soviet leaders that
rigidity of policy served only to
strengthen the resistance to COM
mur ist expansion. Flexibility Is
the key today-concessions that
look startling, that will be difficult
to resist. Such tactics could isolate
the United States from its allies.
ANY spectacular Soviet concession

being considered" the inference
drawn by the Soviet Union was
obvious. The three NATo menn-
bers In the Nordic Council, con-
stituting a majority, might pergert
this Scandinavian body into an
instrument Of NATO.
Foot in Door for Reds
The makeup OF the national dele
cations to the Nordic Council was
another sore point for the Com
munists. Each delegation Is sup.
posed to reflect the political shad-
ings Of its own national parliament.
Since the Communists could only
muster o maximum Of 8.5 per cent
OF parliamentary seats (this applies
to Iceland; less than per cent In
Denmark; about 2 per cent each
in Sweden and Norway. no Com
munist representatives sat ON the
Nordic Council. This situation.
however, win change drastically
with Finland's entry into this
Scandinavian consultative body. In
Finland Communists fill roughly
20 per cent Of the parliamentary
seats. Consequently their inclusion
In the Finnish delegation to the
council is o foregone conclusion.
That Soviet diplomacy can count
on cooperation from Finnish Com
munist representatives to the coun-
ell Is evident from the changed at
titude Of the Finnish Communist
Party toward the council. At first
Finnish Communists closely fol-
lowed the lead Of the Soviet press
in denouncing the Nordic Council as
. tool for the aggressive designs Of
NATO. They accused the council
Of undermining Nordic solidarity
by abandoning Scandinayia's neu-
tral role. Though there was not
the slightest substance to this
charge. since the council confined
Its activities TO the economic, social
and cultural fields, the fact that
three NATO members belong to the
council was q sufficient target for
attack.
Communists Change Tack
with the change Of signals In
Moscow, Finnish Communists began
to approve conditionally their couil-
try's entry into the Nordic Council.
Subtly dropping direct accusations
and charges against the council.
the Communists now swung to talk
ing in terms Of preventive action
forestalling the councils becoming
an instrument Of Western diplo-
macy. In this context 1t Is TO be
expected that the Finnish Com
munist Representatives win revive
the question Of NATO membership
Of Iceland. Denmark and Norway.
Undoubtedly Finnish Communist
delegates viii contend that NATO
membership within the ranks Of the
council does not only endanger
scandinavian solidarity, but more
important still. Scandinavian neu-
tr1lity. In this argument the
Finnish Communists might md
