Washington Donates
250,000 Pounds in
Aluminium Drive
Opportunity Still Open
For Others to Give
Metal for Defense

A stock of scrap aluminium es-
timated at 25O.oOO pounds lay in 16
bins in Washington today. and Off
cials of the local campaign for con-
tribution of the metal were express
ing qualification at the Capitals en-
thusiastic response.
The poundage figure was given by
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, executive
secretary of the District Defense
Council. after receiving reports late
yesterday that all official receptacle:
were well filled. In voicing hi!
pleasure, Capt Whitehurst said
leaders of the drive here would have
been satisfied with a return OF
100000 pounds.
Housewives and proprietors OF
business establishments not reached
yesterday were asked to bring theil
donations today to any police
precinct station, stations of Fire
Engine Companies 81 or 90. or the
large wire inclosure in front of the
District Building. Pickup service
for bulky consignments was being
made available by the City Refuse
Division on telephone call to the
Northwest garage of the division
North 2140
Bulk Kitchen Material.
Kitchen utensils formed the bulk
of the material in the bins, but there
were numerous novelties, ranging
from piece of airplane framework
to an artificial leg. A washing ma
chine. an electric refrigerator and
several vacuum cleaners were among
the items requiring disassembly to
separate the vital aluminium from
other metals.
Among the contributions was 1000
pounds of kitchen utensils given by
Frank E. Mirth, 1000 Connecticut
avenue NV. Because of the size of
the gift, Mr. Mirth made his own
arrangements for its transportation
to the District Building plot. He
explained he had started the collec-
ton a year ago, when Britain began
laying emphasis on its aluminium
need. He thought 1t would be valu-
able if the United States also found
itself facing shortage, he said.
Mr.. Mirth described himself as a
lecturer on nutrition and the correct
preparation of food and told cam
paign officials the utensils had been
donated by housewives who had at
tended his lectures.
All aluminium collected in this
area will form part of the huge ma
tional accumulation of scrap, now
estimated to total between 10000 900
and 100000 pounds. Il will be
turned over to the Procurement
Division of the Treasury Depart
ment for ALLEGATION to smelters un-
der defense priority regulations.

Military Motif Dropped
In South African Toys

Peace toys have come back in
Johannesburg. South Africa. The
military motif is almost entirely
absent. Tin soldiers are still OBJ
tainable, but usually are pre-war
goods. The United States and
Britain are supplying South Africa
with the toys that formerly were
imported from Germany and Japan.
The democracies, it Is believed,
have decided that the present gen
Grafton of children is not to find
its amusement in warlike toys.
Mechanical cars which were painted
to resemble military vehicles and
ambulances last year are now pre-
sented as normal peacetime vehicles,
such as automobiles and trucks.

Chairman May of the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee revealed to-
day bill soon would be introduced
TO place under the Engineer Corps

So, 900 ,000, 900 to provide facilities for

Representative May explained that
officers of the Engineer Corps, by
reason of their technical training
and long experience on river and
harbor work, as well as their famili-
arity with contractual relations with
firms handling large projects, are
especially qualified TO supervise
all items OF construction. AT the
present time. he pointed out, the
building of Atlantic bases and Army
air fields, constituting some 80 per
cent of the new construction for the
Army. is under direction of the Chief
of Engineers. Mr. May also said
the work of the Quartermaster
Corps incident TO expansion of the
Army has been tremendously in
creased.
The task of feeding, clothing and
transporting the million and halt
men now in the Army of the United
States has been enormous" he de-
clared Relieving the Quartermas

ings. grounds and related facilities
