built and put in operation a

The result is not only approx

within WPB of a high-sounding

Now this should not be taken

that congressman, typewriter ex-
perts and other dumb citizens
shouldn't concern themselves
with technical things they could
mt possibly understand-prob-
lens of production, military stra-
tegy and the like. Instead, they
were advised to leave everything
to the experts. But get a load of
this:
When the War Production
Board announced it was author
izing the Republic Steel Com
pany to operate q sponge iron
furnace at Youngstown, O.. to
make artificial scrap, WPB
Chairman Donald M. Nelson
made a figurative deep bow
from the hips and admitted that
much of the information which
influenced the board in making
this decision was based on find
ings of the Senate Special Com
mittee Investigating National De-
Tense.
This is the group of 10 sena-
tors-none of them experts
headed by Sen. Harry S. Truman
of independence, Mo-, who gives
the body its popular name
of the Truman Committee. Not
much has been heard from the
Truman Committee in the last
few months. But the senator's
and their staff of investigators
under Chief Counsel Hugh S.
Fulton have been digging quietly
into all manner of things, includ-
ing a three or four-months' in
vestigation of the iron and steel
industry and all its ramifications,
including the scrap situation and
sponge iron.
WHY "SPONGE" IRON?
First get a clear picture OF
what sponge iron is. The name
comes from the fact that the ma
terial is porous. 1t isn't solid
metal, like a pig iron ingot, but
full of holes, like sponge.
Sponge iron is made by reducing
iron ore as it comes from the
mines to a spongy mass, by heat
ing the ore to temperatures be-
low the fusing point of iron. The
oxygen in the iron ore or iron
oxides is removed at the same
time by mixing the iron ore with
pulverized coal, which burns off
the oxygen, or by passing
through the heated ore reduc-
ing gas which combines with the
oxygen. The theory is that
sponge iron can be used as SUBJ
stitute for scrap iron to mix with
pig iron for the making of steel.
Now this sponge iron situation
has been kicking around for
some time. Sen. Joseph c. OMa-
honey of Cheyenne, Wyo., first
kicked off on this subject last
June. He-w interested prim-
arily in seeing some of the low
grade iron ore deposits of his
state used in the war production
program. OMahoney was tack
led hard by practically every
steel expert " in the country.
Hadn't Judge Gary of United
States Steel spent millions of
dollars back in the 1900s trying
to develop sponge iron, and
hadn't the big stel corporation
abandoned sponge iron as i'm
practical?
NOSE OUT THE FACTS
But that didn't stop the Tru-
man Committee. The senators
and their Investigators followed
their own noses. They went out
into the field and looked things
over for themselves. They talk
ed to Republic and U. S. Steel

anybody. For one thing, it was
noticed that Americas sweet
heart practised a nice discrimi-
nation concerning forks. This
whetted the curiosity of her col
leagues and led to imitation.
The studios pitched in and be-
gan hiring technical advisers.
AS a result, Nick Janios OBJ
serves with satisfaction, even
the humblest $1000-a-weeker to-
day knows all the basic eating
implements by name and can
use them without ostentation or
self-consciousness.
For lady like dexterity, he
likes to watch Linda Darnell or
Alice Faye, but for sheer virtu-
osity with a knife and fork give
him Director Alfred Hitchcock,
who despite his weight is as light
on his hips as a dancer. Con-
versing at a table with two &C.
tors, Hitchcock has been known
to parry, strike and dismantle a
difficult guinea hen while cut
ting both hams to the quick.
GRUB ON THE SET
Among Professor Janios' ex-
tra-curricular activities is that
of preparing meals that are to
be served in pictures. For in
stance, he says, soup should new
er be served in a picture, be-
cause it's too awkward to han
die.
"And the other day." recalls
Janios, they actually had spa
ghetti written into scene for
Hello, Frisco, Hello with Miss
Faye and Jack Oakie. Well, of
course, I simply pointed out to
the producer how tangled up his
players could get in that stuff,
and he cut it out. The only ac-
tor / ever knew in Hollywood
who could eat spaghetti like a
gentleman was the late John
Barrymore. He learned it from
CaruSo."
