aluminium in Air Mdnstry'

NEARLY half of all the aluminium produced
In the United States is recovered at one
plant in Massena. N. Y. The greater part of
the remainder is produced at three points, Nj
agara Falls, N. Y. Alcoa, Tenn, and Badin,
N. G.
The total value of the output during 1928
was $47. 900, which was an increase of %
per cent over the production of 1927.
The demand for aluminium has been grow
ing with leaps and bounds. The use of the
metal In automobile pistons and In other por-
tons Of automobiles in chairs for use in rail-
road dining cars, and for other metal furniture
have combined with the kitchen-utensil trade
to create ready market for the product
The great increase in airplaneS has added
another market, which seems destined to be-
most important in the years to come.

HENRY ]. ALLEN TO
SUCCEED CURTIS AS
SENATOR Of KANSAS
Hoover Pleased With Selection
Of Former Governor; Was
Campaign Director

Washington. March 80. - (AP) -
Henry J. Allen, former governor OF
Kansas and prsminent figure In ma
tional politics and journalism for
many years. will succeed Charles
Curtis In the senate. filling the seat
relinquished by the latter when he
was elevated to the vice presidency,
Decision to appoint Allen to fill the
vacancy was announced by Governor
Clyde M. Reed Of Kansas, after a con-
ference yesterday with President
Hoover which also was attended by
Secretary Good Of the war depart
ment and James Francis. Burke.
counsel for the Republican national
committee. The appointment will be
made, he said. as soon as he returns
to the state capital at Topeka.
In making the announcement. Gov
ernor Reed said the appointment Of q
senator to succeed Curtis came up
during "a very pleasant visit with the
president. in the course OF which we
discussed the inland waterways, farm
relief and judicial appointments In
the Kansas judicial district"
"When I stated that among those
being considered was former Cover
nor Henry J. Allen" he continued
1.-The president expressed himself as
being gratified.. He stated, Of course
that he could not even suggest the
appointment Of any United States
senator.
"He assured me, however, that Gov
ernor Allen had long been his friend
and he held him In high esteem. and
that il the former governor should be
appointed he would be great help to
the administration in carrying out Its
program and in working out the prob
lens vitality affecting Kansas and the
middle west"
Curtis and Allen have long been at
odds politically. but President Hoo
yer counts each as q friend. Allen
was one Of the few Kansas Republi-
cans who supported Hoover for the
presidential nomination prior to the
Kansas City convention. at which the
entire state delegation stood as q
unit for Curtis. and he served as pub
licity director for the Republican ma
tional committee In the subsequent

JOURNEY ACROSS NORTH POLE
Famous Explorer Thinks Under.

HAS SPECIAL suBmERsIsLE

Gather Ocean Data

New York, March 30.-tF-Eaptain
Sir Hubert wilkins, polar explorer
announced today he was considering
q voyage across the north pole BY
submarine, possibly this summer or
next.
Commander Sloan Denenhower
technical expert Of the Simon Lake
Submarine company, who plans to
navigate the craft. said the submers-
ible to be used was being fitted out at
the companys works at Bridgeport
Conn.
Sir Hubert said the idea Of a sub
marine trip across the Arctic sea had
been In the minds Of sub designers
and explorers since 1899. when Simon
Lake advanced 1t. Stefansson and
Peary both had considered 1t, he said
"On the face Of It," ne said. III
seems risky. Still. as a mathematical
hazard I consider 1t no more risky
even less so-than an airpalne flight
over the polar seas"
VIII Have Diving Lock
The submarine would be equipped
with a special diving lock through
which q diver might be sent out tt
blast the ship free Of retaining ice
T. ncnhowcr said. 1t also would have
bar sloping up from the bow te
the coming tower to ease 1t unde,
an unseen iceberg. and would carry
q large quartity Of chemicals to melt
Ice.
Commander Danenhow:r said the
trip would be undertaken during July
as at that time there are spaces o.
open water between Ice fields through
which the submarine could be navi'
gated, submerging only when 1t en-
countercd a barrier Of ice.
There is need for submarine
trip across the Arctic ocean," Sir Hu'
bert said, ITO get some information
on the depth Of that ocean and, n
possible. to determine II the ocean !!
q conical depression or II It Is shapet
like basin."
Want Meteorological Data
Data concerning the direction, force
and temperature Of arctic currents
the conditions and drift Of the Ice
and comparative knowledge OF mid
summer meteorological conditions also
could be obtained, he said.
He said he did not expect such Z
trip to take more than three weeks
and perhaps not more than two.
Sir Hubert has made an airplane
flight over polar regions. and recently
returned from a trip Of exploration
in the Antarctic, In which he flew
over Graham Land. establishing that
1t was a group OF islands and not
part Of an antarctic continent, as hac
been believed.
