In StutIer Hotel Here
Is Diverted to U. S.

The complete story of Washing
tons part in the Nationwide scrap
aluminium drive could be read in 16
large wire bins today, following
cleanup" operations yesterday.
Several thousand additional pounds
of the vital defense metal had been
added to the estimated $4,000
pounds collected here Wednesday
City Refuse Division officials said
several score telephone calls for the
special second-day pickup service
were received and four trucks were
placed in service. In addition, many
householders brought their contri-
buttons to the heaps at the 13 police
precinct stations, stations of Fire
Engine Cos. 81 and 20 and on the
grass plot in front of the District
Building.
Oficials explained the aluminium
would remain on display until fur
ther instructions are received from
the Procurement Division of the
Treasury Department. which will
handle disposal of the metal to
smelters under defense priority reg
ulations. The local stock probably
will be removed in the next few
days, it was said.

Approximately $4,000 pounds OF
aluminium, bought for use in con-
struction of the $8,500,000 Statler
Hotel here, has been turned over to
the national campaign by Hotels
Statler Co., Inc, it was revealed
today.
The metal was purchased months
before priorities were invoked, and
some of it already had been fabri-
Gated into window frames.
William s. Knudsen, director gen.
eral of the Office of Production
Management, gave the following
acknowledgement of the gift:
This Office is particularly sensible
of the fact that this agreement re-
suited in considerable loss to both
the companies involved because of
contract which had been entirely
properly entered into for fabricated
aluminium long before the present
acute shortage in the metal de-
veloped."
For Airplane Parts.
The aluminium now is in the plant
of the Adams Westlake Co., Elk
hart, Ind, and some Of it may be
used in completing several contracts
for airplane parts held by the firm.

Senute Subcommittee
Acts After Hearing
Prison Officials .

Favorable report by a Senate Ju-
dietary Subcommittee on bill
urged by the Justice Department
to authorize the Attorney General
to transfer tough" cases from the
National Training School for Boys,
committed by the Juvenile Court
of the District, to other penal in
stitutions was approved after hear
ing yesterday.
An amendment offered by Sena-
tor Burton, Republican, of Ohio
was accepted by the Justice De-
partment representatives and will
be written into the bill. 1t would
give the Attorney General transfer
authority whether or not the pris-
oner was committed by the Juvenile
Court of the District of Columbia.
The Attorney General now has the
authority to transfer all those in
the school who have been COM
mitted there by Federal District
Courts, but a recent court decision
denied the right the department
thought it had to transfer those
committed by the Juvenile Court.
Sees Aid In Crime Fight.
Since July l, 1899, the training
school has been part of the Federal
penal system under the Justice De-
partment. Some BOG inmates have
been committed from Federal Dis
trict Courts and 103 from the Dis
trict. Probably less than one-third
of the inmates are said to be adult
youths, dangerous and incorrigible,
who cannot be controlled in the Dis
trict institution, and are a menace
to the rehabilitation of the younger
and more tractable inmates, Alex
ander Holtzoff, a special assistant
to the Attorney General, explained.
Passage of the bill, he said, would
help the crime situation" in the
District.

Mr.. Ickes yesterday protested that
the Commissioners had not replied
to his letter requesting that they
order Metropolitan police to act
against drivers who permit wastage
of gasoline. 1t was said at the Dis
trict Building that the Ickes letter
was dated July 18 and that on
July 81 Engineer Commissioner
Charles w. Kutz replied for the city

grounds the District was waging a

supervision of Mr.. Ickes, meanwhile
had stopped a score or more motor
lists in the Federal park areas for

quired them to have their cars IN

Commissioner Young said: I'VE
believe this drive to conserve gaSo-

basis at least long enough to give
this type of program fair trial.
However, If the voluntary program
does not produce SUFFICIENT results,
then I would be in favor Of having
