Remember that to ensure safe delivery of Christ- mas packages to soldiers over- seas they should be mailed in October. Don’t make them larger than shoe-box size, with a limit of five pounds on each package. The Army suggests -you send useful things, other than food. Community presents from an entire town are discouraged— for every inch of cargo space means less space for bullets. STEEL SHORTAGE PROBE The long-smouldering row over whether the nation should build quick new sponge iron mills and also develop its isolated and Far Western iron deposits will flare into the open ' in Congress next week. On one side of the row are Far Western and Southern Congressmen, plus Secretary Ickes, plus Republic Steel. On the other side are most of the big steel companies and their friends in the War Production Board who are suspected of not wishing the iron and steel industry to shift | away from big blast furnace produc- tion in the Pittsburgh, Youngstown, Cleveland areas. The row has many other ramifi- cations, one of them being whether the $1-a-year men represent them- selves or the Government. Another is why we have a desperate steel shortage when millions of tons of iron ore lie untouched in the Far West, where it could be developed by the cheap, quick sponge iron process. The question is not en- tirely geographical, however, for sponge iron plants can be built any- where. The row is expected to break when the Boykin Committee, investigating steel shortages, will summon offic- ials of the Republic Steel Co., which wants to bulld a sponge iron-plant; and two WPB officials who have opposed the project. ‘The two oppesing officials are W. A. Hauck of WPB’s Steel Facilities | Unit, and S. O. Hovert of the Blast | iFurnace Unit. They oppose sponge {iron as an “unsound innovation.” | — i SPONGE vs. BLAST FURNACES | However, the Boykin Committee | wants to examine them closely as to | whether they are not chiefly op- ‘posed to breaking the hold of cer- tain big steel companies, which don't \wum competition from low grade | ores, developed by a cheaper process throughout the country. Also the committee may want to probe into the fact that Hauck was {formerly an accountant with Beth- |lehem Steel, while Hobart was Pres- |ident of the Troy, | Corporation, makers of blast furn- |aces and coke ovens. The new | sponge iron process offers competi- tion to the blast furnace process. Republic wants to establish a sponge iron plant in Canton to pro- | duce 100 tons a day. But they were jturned down on priorities for 170 | tons of steel to build the plant. In other words, the new Republic plant would have produced 200 tons in | two days, enough to build itself— but was vetoed because of the steel shortage. One great advantage of sponge steel plants is that they require little steel for construction. Yet WPB has blocked them for menths. NOTE: Engineer for Republic in the proposed new plant is H. A. Brassert, who has built steel mills all over the world, even undertook construction of the Hermann Goer- ing works in Germany after being urged to do so by Prime Minister | Chamberlain as part of British ap- peasement polic; COMMUNITY COOPERATION | The town of Baker, Ore., already has taken a leaf from President Roosevelt’s recent radio advice on | community cooperation. Located in the lumber area, Baker never had any manufacturing. But Baker business men decided to build a plant and get a war contract Fact is, they got the contract first —to build wooden bodies for big eight-wheel Army trucks—and then started building the factory. A local engineer, who had been to Russia to help the Soviets build factories out of nothing, laid out a plan to do the same thing in Baker For an overhead conveyor, the builders got meat hooks from a butcher shop, and built a tralley for the hooks out of old pipe and angle iron. To paint the truck bodies, they built a big tank, filled it with paint, and dipped the bodies in it. To operate the hoisting mechan- N.
