Facing A Scrap Crisis

The steel industry is in more trouble. Last
week it was COAL This week it's scrap.
Inland Steel has announced that it is pre-
pairing to reduce open hearth production 10
per cent, measure made necessary, says
the company, by lack of scrap metal
This companys action is but an illustration
of conditions which prevail in varying degrees
throughout the entire industry. The Distress
ing fact is that there is not enough scrap in
hand to keep steel plants up to anything like
there was any defense program in this country
or prospect that the United States would have
to defend its shores or aid its friends.
Japan's tremendous purchases Of scrap here
from the time she started her war on China
until further shipments were forbidden did not
exhaust our supply, Of course, but they did
absorb much Of it-particularly what was al
ready gathered-so that now, when the United
States steel industry never needed it much,
It is necessary to resort to fine-tooth combing
of arms, junk yards, kitchens and sundry
other catch-alls to build up a supply for cur
rent needs, with no possibility of accumulating
reserves.
This is one more count In the score against
Japan-and one against our foresight or lack
Of foresight II war in the Pacific should come
and we become involved in it, it would be
ironic if japanese shells and bombs made OF
American scrap were discharged at United
States naval craft and warplanes.

ton is under cloud wherever its water porb-
lem is known-and news of it has spread far
and wide.
Potential residents, otherwise impressed
with the city's advantages, go elsewhere be-
cause Of our bad water. The effort to attract
new industries is under heavy handicap
because industrialists too know how bad our
water is.
Make no mistake. The furry Of prosperity
which has come with the defense program can
be long-lived only if Wilmington does it's part
in holding it. Contrariwise, it can be lost if
Wilmington fails to meet the challenge.
Wilmington has no reason to hope for greater
and more enduring prosperity without solving
its water problem.
That may be done at the polls on Tuesday,
and then only by majority vote for the bonds.
The Wilmington morning star., 1941-11-29
Wilmington's Challenge

Wilmington is face to face with challenge
Upon the manner in which it is met depends
the city's future development.
Will Wilmington meet this challenge head
on, or turn from it in defeat?
No middle course is possible. Either we must
overcome or lee: 60 forward or step back.
This is the situation as the election ap-
proaches.
Next Tuesday the voters Of Wilmington viii
have opportunity to support bond proposal
by which many needed improvements in the
water system may be financed-cr reject it.
What shall the answer be? If in the affir-
NATIVE Wilmington may be freed forever from
salt water II the answer is negative, newt
ably Wilmington must 60 to the pump as
often as the ocean forces salt water to the
Toomers sewer intake.
Nor is it the annoyance Of going to the
pump alone that must be considered. Whining.

Churchill

There has been reason aplenty to criticise
even condemn, Winston ChurchilPs decisions
as well as his indecision, since he succeeded
Mr.. Chamberlain as prime minister Of Great
Britain. But this does not prevent us from
rejoicing over the new vote of confidence
accorded him in the House of Commons.
When Britain was in despair after Dunk
cirque, when the people were without hope and
courage. it was Churchill vino inspired them
to buck up. When London was under almost
constant attack from the air, and England's
industrial cities were being bombed nightly
and thousands Of non-combatants were being
slak kghtered to glut the blood lust Of the NaziS,
md Il seepaed that HiSas paaast hismph. \

Out Of Darkness

Wilmington's shopping district has been so
long in deep shadow that the order ending the
blackout comes as gratefully as sunshine af-
ter rain.
As the order came so suddenly, with no
opportunity for advance announcement, the al
most spontaneous appearance OF bright lights
was as surprising as welcome.
The return to normal lighting, particularly
the reappearance of illuminated store win
dows, cannot fail to have an appreciable ef-
feet upon early Christmas shopping for, while
the stores are not yet open nights, evening is
a favorite time for window shopping and many
a decision to purchase this or that will be
reached then and completed by daylight.
The fear that the blackout would cut holiday
business is thus dispelled.
We can be grateful that dealing with electric
power shortage was delegated to the Office of
Production Management instead of the office
of Harold 1ckes. The proof Of this is that as
sufficient for hydro-electric plants to produce
current needed for industrial production the
ban was removed,a "a proceeding opposite to
that Of Mr.. Ickes who created a gasoline
shortage, and perpetuated it, when no actual
shortage existed.
s. Now, if the rainfall which has blessed so
much Of the southeastern area in recent weeks
will only move this way the people Of Whining
ton and the merchants in particular, will have
additional reason to bless the approach Of
Christmas.

German columns threatening from
the northwest and west join hands
before the Red forces in the Volo-
kolamsk sector between them ef-
feet a withdrawal, the la tie +
might be trapped and destroyed.
That would open a 50-rnile gap
in Moscow's defenses, fed by three
railroads and highway systems
over which Nazi reinforcements
and supplies could be brought up.
On Moscow's south flank, a SIM
liar situation was developing. Tula
had been virtually ringed IN d
again was under direct artillery
fire. Its evacuation was to be ex-
pected, and its garrison probably
will fall back northward to the
Oka-Nara line for another stand,
still 60 miles outside Moscow's in
ner defenses. So.
Berlin says that German forces
which broke through below Tula
to fan northward also have swept
eastward and southwark along the
Ryaisk railway more than 80 miles.
This looks on the map to be a
curious DETECTION Of the southern
wing of the Nazi effort to encircle
Moscow, because it extends Nazi
lines away from the city, rather
than toward it. However, it prob
ably has another strategic signifi-
canoe.
This advance, as described by
the Germans, already has car
ried them across tn e Moscow

80 miles Of the Moscow-Ryaisk-
Kislov route. Presumably in prep
aration for the close siege of Mos

WASHINGTON, No,

WASHlNGION, Nov. ~.
A general Russian retreat on
the Moscow front, forced by new
Nazi advances on far separated
sectors of the 200 mile defense
arc, appears under way.
It clearly is designed to recon
centrate Red armies in tighter
circle about the city from the
Kiln region in the north to the
Okanara river line in the south,
although the full scope of the re-
tirement is not yet revealed.
Stress laid by Russian commen-
tators for several days on the in
creasing gravity of the Moscow
developments indicated prepara-
ton of public opinion for broad
retreat. In the absence Of such
a withdrawal, advance forces west
of the city would be in extreme
peril of piece-meal encirclement
and destruction. Similar dangers
would face those to the South,
now falling back from re-encir-
cled Tula. Like the British design
for the flaming Libyan offensive,
annihilation of armies, not occu.
patton Of towns, is Hitler's prime
objective in the Moscow battle.
Bitter Russian experience W t h
too long delayed retirements in
the Vyazma and Bryansk battles
and east of Kiev has taught Red
leaders anew the military wisdom
of the old adage that he who
fights and runs away may live
to fight another day.
The most dangerous Nazi stab
at the moment is within SO miles
of the city's inner Notifications
through the Mozhaisk western bas-
ton. At some unstated point on
the Mozhaisk-Moscow main line,
they are perilously close to juno
ton with the northern Nazi spear
head in the Kiln breakthrough re-
gion.

In many homes grease spots on
work clothes are once again be-
coming a problem. The farm wife
has long had them TO contend with,
and so has the wife of the garage
mechanic. but now many more men
are engaged in jobs that stain their
work garments
Laundering these clothes can be
eased considerably by following
the procedure long used by many
farm women. Soak the grease
spotted areas in kerosene for half
nm hour, and then launder in good
hot suds. This is a laundering tip
which comes In handy. too, in
