MY Dear Senator: The rumors TO

JUNK DICTATOR
AS WAR FACTOR
URGED FOR U. S.
Conservation Of Material
Now Consigned to Scrap
Pile Held Essential.

A national junk dictator Is being
urged as essential for the winning OF
the war.
Several members OF the Cabinet have
advocated the establishment OF Junk
administration. similar to the food,
fuel and other administrations. It is
understood, and the Council of Ma
tionaI Defense is reported to have the
proposal under consideration
The province OF such a dictator
would be to bring about thrift in war
materials, Just as Mr.. Hoover is
bringing about thrift In the kitchens OF
American homes. Such an admins
tration could coordinate the present
activities of waste reclamation and
effect new means of saving material
now discarded.
Cot Out All waste.
Winning the war means cutting out
the waste. and saving the waste is
particularly the business OF the junk
man, for he uses. or knows who can
use, the materials otherwise allowed
TO rust or rot.
Secretary Of Commerce Redheld, on
a recent trip of inspection. was i'm
pressed with the quantity of junk at
various departmental branches. He
has ordered this collected and held for
orders as to its utilization. As a con-
sequence, some articles now rare and
much needed by the Bureau Of Stand
ards and other departments are avail
able at a time when they virtually
were not to be had from other sources.
The business of the waste material
industry, even as conducted now
without any centralizing efficiency or
forced economy. amounts to more than
81 500, 900 900 annually.
Germany Scraps Nothing.
Germany. according to the Waste
Trade Journal of New York, is fighting
the world on what she has been able
to wrest from her scrap heap. Mate
rial such as the United States dis
cards forms the basis of important in
dustries in France. England makes
serviceable shoddy yarns OF certain
grades of wooden rags that Americans
throw away.
When Germany's submarine warfare
was at its apex. England drew on her
scrap heaps for copper to avert an ex-
haustion of that much-needed metal.
As the war continues, with scarcity
Of war material already felt here,
America will be forced more and more
to utilize what heretofore she has
thrown away, and it is for the super
vision of this reclamation that officials
here and leaders In many industries
are looking to the establishment Of a
junk administration.

ALLEGED FLORIDA BANK
SWINDLER IS CAUGHT
New Orleans BuIeau,
The Pensacola Journal

New Orleans, Aug. 10.-After
lodging and jumping about, it is said,
from town to town along the gulf
coast for seven weeks, John E. Shell
don, 1889 St. Charles street, hunted
as an embeZzler and a swindler, was
captured Thursday by Detective Cas-
tillo, of the Burns Agency, and City
Detectives Scheffler and Methe,
Sheldon was in company with his
wife when he was arrested. He was
posing as the proprietor of a room
ing house at the st. Charles street
address, it is stated. He submitted
to arrest with protest and according
to Deceive Castillo admitted the
swindle charge against him by the
Bank of Leesburg, Fla, but said he
would fight eXtradition. Seven weeks
ago the detective agency was notified
to look for Sheldon.
The agency, it was stated, was ~
formed that the man had swindled the
Florida bank out of $1,000. He had
told the bank, it is asserted, that lie
was expecting a consignment of auto
mobiles and needed $1,000 to pay for
them. He furnished a bogus list of
the cars, it was alleged to the bank,
and then mortgaged them for the
amount he said he needed. Obtaining
the $1,000 Sheldon disappeared, it is
alleged.

FOOD CONTROL
IS IN EFFECT
HOOVER APPOINTED-PURPOSE
TO STABILIZE, NOT DISTURB
CONDITIONS PRICE .INFLA-
TON AND SPECULATION
STOPPED.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Formal ap-
pointment of Herbert Hoover, food
administrator, under the new food
legislation, was announced at white
house.
The American government assumed
control of the country's food supply
with Hoover's appointment, signing
bills. Hoover set forth the aims Of
the food administration. In a state
ment he declared the purpose to be
to stabilize, not disturb cond. tions.
Every effort will be made to correct
the price-abuses. Drastic measures
will not be attempted until it is seen
that the purpose of the food admin
istration cannot be accomplished
through constructive cooperation with
food producing and distributing in
dUstries. The very existence of the
corrective powers will tend to check
speculation and price initiation, it is
said.
