Aluminium Rationinu
Considered 10 Avoid
Delay on Planes
Government May Order
Diversion Of SurpIuses
To Speed Production
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Rationing of aluminium products
was under consideration in Govern
ment circles today as a means of
avoiding possible delays in warplane
production schedules.
Authoritative sources reported
that this device was being studied
as we'll as the more frequently men,
toned one of production priorities.
Under rationing system defense
officials would determine what
amounts of completed aluminium
products should be delivered to
various plane manufacturers.
Theoretically, officials said, prod
ucts ordered by manufacturer who
already had surplus on hand might
be diverted to another who had no
such accumulation. This practice
would be limited, however, to prod
ucts that could be used by either
aluminium sheets, for example. Forg-
lngs made to special measurements
probably would not be interchanged.
Supply to Be Studied.
II prlorlties were imposed these
would determine the order in which
aluminium products should be pro-
duced to fill defense contracts as
we'll as commercial contracts for
civilian use.
The immediate supply of alu-
mlnum products for the swiftly ex-
banding aircraft industry is sched-
uled for early study by the re-
organized Defense Priorities Board,
whose powers are being delineated
in executive orders now being pre-
pared by President Roosevelt.
The aluminium question came to
the front through a recent an
nouncement of the Northrop Aircraft
Corp, which holds $4,000 900 worth
OF defense contracts. Company Of
flcials said their production was be-
ing curtalled because of a shortage
OF aluminium products. Lamotte T
Cohu, general manager of Northrop,
expressed belief that it would be
September before increased facilities
OF aluminium production plants
would be able to care for the air.
craft industry's demands.
Company Denies Shortage.
A spokesman for the Aluminium
Co. OF America declared subseouent-
ly that there was no shortage of
aluminium products for airplane pro-
duction. The Aluminium Co. could
not make shipments before we are
asked for them" he said, adding
that any temporary shortage at the
Northrop plant either was being met
or would be met shortly.
Edward r. Stettinius, jr.. defense
commissioner on raw materials, as
sured President Roosevelt recently
that there would be no shortage of
aluminium for defense needs. He
SAID plant expansions already in
sight assured sufficient aluminium
ingot production to provide for Brit
lsh and American orders then in
sight and that if these orders should
be increased, they could be met by
curtalling unessential civilian uses
of the metal.

Much is being accomplished toward

a better start in life, DR.. Riley said,
through the clinics for expectant
mothers that are held in nearly all of

Similar clinics for expectant mothers
are held in Baltimore City under the

In 1889 over 2,4O0 expectant moth
ers in the counties were registered at
the county clinics and had the bene-
fit of individual advice and follow-up

These prenatal clinics, as they are
called, are held monthly or oftener.

FIREMEN DESERVE PRAISE

There isn't citizen of Oakland who
is not proud of the Oakland Fire De-
partment and the way its members
sacrifice to render the community a
distinct service.
Sometimes, however, we take the
service they give as a matter of
course and forget about the entirely
voluntary spirit behind it.
The value of this organization was
renewed in the minds of the commu-
nifty Tuesday evening as the members
celebrated their fifteenth anniversary.
They receive no pay for their dam
gerous work. They are subject to call
at all hours of the day or night. They
give their time and effort, and many
times their good clothing in order to
save other peoples properties They
have brought insurance rates down
considerably by their efficient fire
fighting and have kept losses as a re-
suit of fires at minimum. They have
suggested ways of making public
buildings safer. They. are even on the
alert to do the community service.
They make up an organization that
deserves much praise, just as are the
men who were honored with service
stars Tuesday night, and especially
those who have been members for
fifteen years.
