SpecuIaiors Hoardinq
Aluminium Scrap,
Defense Official Says
Drastic Action May Be
Needed TO Holt Price
Rise, Bishop Worms

Charges that certain manufac-
turers and spectators are boarding
scrap and secondary aluminium and
thereby doing a "diSService TO the
defense program" were made today
by c. A Bishop, member of the Price
Sterilization Division of the Ma
tional Defense Advisory Commis-
sion.
Mr.. Bishop said this boarding al
ready has caused the price of Sec
ondary, or reconditioned. aluminium
To rise higher than that for virgin
ingot, currently selling at II cents
a pound. Undess this situation is
corrected. Mr.. Bishop declared dras-
tic action will be needed to prevent
a sharp price increase.
He said two groups have accumu-
lated very substantial quantities
of scrap metal. One group con-
xists of manufacturers who, instead
of marketing scrap, hold it for re-
processing if aluminium becomes
scarce. The second group is COM
posed of those holding the metal
for speculative profit only,
Motive Not to Their Credit
The spectators. Mr.. Bishop de-
elared, are doing a distinct dis
service to the defense program and
for motive that is not to their
credit ." the former group is doing
an equal disservice, but with mo-
tive which may not be criticized
TO the same degree
There is sufficient scrap aluminium
TO satisfy needs of the next few
months. however, according to fig
ures accumulated by the Defense
Commission Reports reaching the
price stabilization division indicate
that certain consumers are buying
more than their current needs of
scrap aluminium in order to accumu-
late surplus inventories. Such prac-
tices tend to create artificial short
ages and price riSes-preciSely the
things that the price stabilization
division is seeking to avoid, Mr..
Bishop added. Scrap aluminium is
bringing as much as % to % cents
q DOullu at JICSC1ll, ~ NdS Sdld,
Drastic Action Undesirable.
While it is the policy of his divi-
sion to defer drastic measures until
it has been demonstrated that other
methods will not be effective ac-
cording to Mr. Bishop, he pointed
out that existing legislation author
ICES the President to requisition and
dispose of all available aluminium
and aluminium scrap supplies.
This procedure would be unde-
sirable, he explained. because it
would seriously disturb the normal
operation of industry. He expressed
confidence that if supplies now
being boarded are made available
to the market and if prices of scrap
and secondary aluminium come
down promptly. no such drastic ac-
ton will be necessary.
Mr.. Bishop said the scrap alumni
mum problem was discussed here
yesterday between officials of his
division and representatives of
aluminium Smelters and large con-
sumers.
