Defense Commission
Places Price Limit
On Scrap Aluminium
Henderson Hints Similar
Action on Steel and
Zinc Scrop

Maximum prices for scrap and
secondary aluminium we're fixed by
the National Defense Commission
today with the warning that un-
warranted price increases for iron,
steel and zinc scrap make similar
action in those fields imminent"
Leon Henderson, director of the
Price Sterilization Division, said
soaring prices of aluminium scrap
and secondary aluminium during the
last month made establishment OF
the ceiling" necessary. He added:
The powers of the Government to
place compulsory orders. to con-
denim or requisition properties, to
issue priorities and to use other
powers to carry out the defense pro-
gram will be eXerted to the utmost
against any person whom We find to
be disregarding these selling prices"
The price ceiling was the second
that the commission has established,
the first having been set for second
hand machine tools on February II.
Both aluminium and machine tools
have been put under mandatory pri-
critics system by the Office OF Pro-
duction Management.
Infiationary Pressure Reported.
Mr.. Henderson said there have
been serious inflationary pressures'
In the scrap and secondary alu-
minum markets because of the fall
ure of the sources of virgin alumni
mum to meet current demand and
because the recently ordered priori-
ties system restricted use OF virgin
aluminium to defense purposes.
The new price schedule. Mr.. Hen
derson asserted will give ample
allowance for reasonable profit TO
both dealers and smelters.'
Two price ceilings are established.
the first applying to the original sale
of aluminium scrap from the maker
to any other person and the second
to any sale thereafter by any dealer
or other person TO Smelter, foun-
dryman, fabricator or other dealer.
The prices. on an F. o. B. basis,
will allow a dealer a margin of IL
cents a pound on clippings, borings
and turnings and l cent on other
types of scrap, Mr.. Henderson said.
Apply to ANY Sale.
The maximum price for secondary
aluminium ingot apply to any sale
or purchase by any person. That
schedule. Mr.. Henderson said, left a
spread of to cents a pound for
the professors costs and profits.
Recent demand for secondary
aluminium, he said. Indicates there
may be some effort on the part OF
manufacturers and fabricators to
purchase scrap direct from dealers,
thus circumventing the Smelter." >"
Therefore the commission requires
dealers to report any sales to a per-
son other than smelter.
Because the schedule becomes eff
fective in a period of already in
fated prices" the commission said
it was allowing smelters and dealers
who already had acquired inven-
tories at prices above the new pegged
figures to secure an exception from
the schedule to carry out commit
ments on the original terms.

BALTIMORE, May 15.-A spec
tacular six-alarm fire destroyed the
Rochester Lines excursion steamer
Tolchester early today, razed three
piers along the water front and DAM
aged the small steamer Southport.
The blaze, apparently starting
aboard the COLCHESTER, was dis
covered shortly after midnight.
Spiraling flames spread to the bow
Of the Southport, also of the Toll
chester Line, but were extinguished
by fireboat which towed the vessel
into the harpor.
Adjoining Piers Catch Fire.
The fire, encompassing a pier of
the Colchester Line, swept into the
Chesapeake Line piers, destroying
two of the lines four piers where
Chesapeake Bay steamers custo-
marily dock. 1t was brought under
control after two hours.
Several small explosions occurred
just before the fire reached its peak,
firemen said. The colchester, listing
badly, was towed short distance
from the pier.
Several members of the Tolches-
ter's crew were removed from the
burning vessel. Firemen also rescued
a man trapped on the second floor OF
the COLCHESTER pier.
Police and Fire Department Off
eials were investigating a report
that the fire started on the Tol-
chester, where workmen had used
acetylene torches to cut through
steel bulkheading while installing a
steam line.
10 Firemen Injured.
The report, filed by Sergt. Edward
S. Deal, said a colored oiler told
him the fire broke out on the boat
about half an hour after the torch
work had been completed.
Within a few minutes, the old
steamer was ablaze from stem to
stern and the flames spread to the
piers.
Ten of the $50 firemen who fought
the blaze were injured. They were
treated at the scene.
