For Continued Market Expansion (Continued from first page) Mr. Hubbell explained how his company : and other aluminum enameJers can now produce porcelain j enamel that contains lead oxide that results in a high Quality product for architectural applications. He pointed out that the durability of the glass formed fn enameling augments the high strength and light weight of alu minum to produce attractive structural; components that have excellent life expectancy. Discussing "Lead Research Formula for Industry Progress/' Schrftde F. Rndlke, research di rector, Internationa! Lend Zinc Research Organization, told the industry representatives that sig nificant progress has been made In the past year through I.L.Z.R.O. research in two prime lead m a reeling areas- lead metallurgy; and acoustical uses. Dr. Radtke said dispersion strengthening has opened up an entirely new field of lend alloy exploration. 'Throw alloys," he added, "offer higher strength, and increased corrosion, creep and fatigue resistance." He told the meeting that emphasis has been placed on the alloy develop ments since they serve ns a base for generating, or increasing, numerous lead markets as a re sult of improved alloy properties. AcoutticM Field In the acoustical field, im proved design techniques, utiliz ing hght-\yeight panels, have helped lead to penetrate this market, Dr. Radtke said. "Ex tensive data are being compiled on peifonnance parameters for lead in movable partitions, overtbe-ceiling applications, plenum chambers, doors, access parti tions and other commercial uses." In a report to L.I.A. members, In addition, nuclear merchant Robert L.

He pointed out that each year since 1061 lead consumption in sporting ammuni tion has gained steadily. For example, he said. 4fi,800 tuna were consumed In 15)61.

Mtfiri Staff WHlw CHICAGO - A record attend ance here at the 37th annual meet ing of the Lead Industries Associ ation, Inc., yexterday heard op timistic reports on the state of their Industry with the emphasis on growth in specific marketing outlets - both old and new'. Robert Hendricks, executive vice president. Consolidated Min ing & Smelting Co. of Canada, Ltd., presided as chairman of the opening session. In an introduc tory talk, Mr. Hendricks said the primary emphasi* of producers should be the continuing avail ability of supplies. He said that Comlnco is stopping up its output and in addition new production will be coming onstream in two ing Co., L*.I.A. president. Intro duced the speakers at yesterday's morning session. Consumption by lead's largest marketing outlet -- automotive batteries --in expected to rise, ac cording to a forecast by F. J. Port, vice president. Electric Storage Battery Co. and presi dent of the Association of Ameri can Battery Manufacturers. In his paper, presented by Rob ert Getter. ESB, Dr. Port predict ed that the current market of 39 million automotive batteries annually will rise to 4f> million in foui- years, or by 1969. A relatively newer market for lend--porcelain enamels for alu minum has gone through its "problem" period and the outlook now la quite optimistic. Dean S.
