Hugh Fulton, committee attorney,
said sharply
Senator Connally interrupted to
suggest that Mr.. Wilson be called
back to the stand tomorrow and,
meanwhile, find out what had been
done about the subpoena of records.
The committee agreed to this.
The friendly exchange between
Senator Connally and Secretary
IckeS regarding Alcoa came after
Mr.. Ickes had read formal state
ment taking the Office of Produc-
ton Management and the Aluminium
company sharply to task for assert

of aluminium needed for the defense
program and for alleged failure to
take steps to supply it.
Mr.. Ickes charged that Alcoa
had sought to put off the horrible
day when the monopoly would have
to experience some competition"
The Government" said Senator
Connally. has the right to take
over plant when it does not sell
needed product at a reasonable
price
"They Are Very Cunning"
Mr.. Ickes conceded it had.
Then if it we're shown Alcoa did
not behave" the Texan added, I'VE
could try little of that medicine
on it,
''It sounds all right to me-"
Senator Connally added: Il don't
see that Alcoa is any better than
anybody else. We are drafting men
and if this company is obstructing
the defense"
Mr.. Ickes said he did not know
whether he would use that word,
adding, They are very cunning"
IT think you know words pretty
we'll" Senator Connally retorted.
"You use lot of them If they
(Alcoa1 are, in fact, a monopoly,
and will not cooperate"
Mr.. Ickes said he thought the
Government could get along better
with Alcoa if it was mot too polite"
I've never been known as too
polite" said Senator Connally.
Mr.. Ickes said in a formal state
ment the failure of the Defense
Commission and the o. P M. to
admit the necessity for increases in
production of aluminium and mag
nesium-vital war materials-had
''held up some of the necessary de-
velopments by approximately one

clared, explaining that he had out
lined to the o. P. M. plan for
producing about $500 900 kilowats of
additional power during 1943.
Larger Estimates Seen.
'While it appears" said Mr.. Ickes
"that our aluminium and magnesium
requirements are now being esti-
mated on more realistic basis, this
has not always been So"
On July Is, 1910, Mr.. Ickes pointed
out, o. P. NJ officials said Alcoa
"oulQ nave ample capacity 10 take
care of the aluminium airplane re-
quirements through 1912" At the
time, he said, Alcoas capacity was
375,000,000 pounds a year, with a
slight increase in sight. The 1912
requirements for military uses
alone. he added, now are put at
1.600,000,000 pounds, with nothing
allowed for civilian needs.
Il believe these estimates will have
TO be increased again." Mr.. Ickes
said
