Scrap Hoarding
Forces0. P. NJ.
To Drastic Step
Will Speed Defense,
Says Stettinius;
Price Rise Seen
By JAMES FREE.

In its first sweeping, industry
wide mandatory action, the ONCE
of Production Management this
afternoon placed aluminium pro-
ducers and machine tool builders
under a national defense priorities
system.
This drastic step was made nee
essary by developments of the past
two months-notably boarding Of
scrap aluminium from the market
according to E. r. Stettinius, jr.,
director of priorities.
Other contributing factors, Mr..
Stettinius told press conference,
are expansion of British military
needs, which have caused a COM
plete shut-off of the 5000 600
pounds of aluminium ingot that the
United States has been obtaining
from Canada each month; the in
creaSing of plant capacities of alu-
minum fabricators, and the marked
increase in civilian use of aluminium.
In connection with these civilian
needs, Mr.. Stettinius said that un-
questionably many producers Of
household aluminium goods will have
to find substitute materials, such as
plaSticS.
Rise in Price Possible"
Asked if this development might
not cause a sharp rise in the price
of domestic aluminium products, Mr..
Stettinius replied: Possibly so, but
that is problem that some one else
must handle"
1t was pointed out that the Ma
tional Defense Commission has a
price Stabilization and consumers
protective division.
This entire program is designed to
speed up production of equipment
needed for national defense, Mr..
Stettinius said. Decision regarding
priorities will be made as quickly
as possible in individual cases, he
added.
Yesterday we gave company
decision in 20 minutes" Mr.. Stet-
tinius explained I'VE can't work
this fast in all cases, but we should
be able to give answers within
few days"
Asked what police powers the O.
P. NJ has to enforce priorities, Mr..
Stettinius said that authority given
the President in section 9 of the
Selective Service Act-some times
referred to as the section permitting
the drafting of industry-and the
act passed by Congress on June %
of last year provide more than am
pie authority.
Will Affect Auto Models.
The question arose as to what
changes or notable absence of
changes, will be noted in 1912 new
automobile models. Mr.. Stettinius
said that his guess was that the
changes would be confined primarily
to body styles One reporter called
attention to a comment made re-
Gently by William S. Knudsen, di-
rector general of o. P. M. and
former president of General Motors.
Mr.. Knudsen was asked:
Won't 1912 models be about the
same at 1941'S?" 4
Laughing, Mr.. Knudsen replied:
They've been about the same be-
fore, only few people knew it."
While today's action was the first
covering an entire industry, the
o. P. M. previously had given COM
plete preferential status for defense
needs to several vital metals, not
ably magnesium. Also "co-opera-
ton" had been asked in giving
preference to defense needs for
zinc.

La Toilette Calls
Measure Green
Light for Battle
Montunun Recalls
Pledges Of WiIIkie
And Roosevelt
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
By j. A, OTEARY,

While Senator La Toilette, progress
sive, of Wisconsin was condemning
the British aid bill as green light
for war" Senator Wheeler, Demo-
crat, of Montana, a leader of the
opposition to President Roosevelt's
foreign policy, announced today
that plans were ready for corps
of isolationist Senators to stump the
country against American entry into
the European conflict if the bill is
passed.
Senator Weheler, in a statement
to newspapernien in his Office, said
he would go out himself, and urge
other Senators to join him, in hold
ing mass meetings from Boston to
California" to call public attention
to the promise of both major parties
in the 1910 election that they would
avoid involvement in the war.
IF this bill passes" Senator
Wheeler said. land unless the Amer
ican people have more definite as
surances than they have had from
the President of the United States
to keep the country out of war,
intend to campaign over the coun-
try and show up the pledges made
by the President and Mr.. Willkie
Mr. Willkie already has conceded
that his pledges we're campaign
oratory, and if the President con-
tinues to take us toward war it
will be evident that Mr. Roosevelt's
pledges were campaign oratory."
Passage May Be Held Up.
The vigourous pounding against
the bill by Senator La Toilette drew
no interruption from pro-aid men,
bers of the Senate. who are conf
dent of heavy majority for pas
sage. However, the question arose
today whether Senate action on the
bill would be completed by Satur-
day, unless the Senate works longer
hours.
Early this afternoon Majority
Leader Barkley had not announced
whether he would carry out his
plan to start sessions at II o'clock
instead OF noon dIter COddy. he
said he is not so particular about
meeting at II o'clock as he is to
extend daily sessions. leaving the
inference he may try to add time
at the end of the day.
Senator Danaher, Republican, of
Connecticut. joined in the debate
late today against the bill, charging
the real purpose of the measure
is not to aid Britain, but to give
expression to a new principle of
international law"
He said he had reference to the
pronouncement of a conference of
international lawyers meeting in
Budapest in 1884, interpreting the
Kellogg peace pact as max

She said today that her husbands
only daughter, by a former mar
riage, was married to a German
probably serving in the Nazi Army,
and added that she had not seen
her stepdaughter for four or five
years.
Mrs. Borislavsky, questioned at an
uptown police station, said that Col.
Fedor Maybohn, a Russian and one
