Woman Government work.
ers, overcome by the strain of
war work, are being removed
from their places of employ
ment to District hospitals for
observation almost daily, Supt.
of Police Edward j. Kelly stated
yesterday in his annual report.
Maj. Kelly said that women
working in crowded buildings
seemed most often to be cas-
ualties. He also cited Offices
where the tempo of war work
was fast, especially the new
Pentagon Building in Arlington.
Maj. Kelly described the in
crease in the number of Gov
ernment workers requiring hos
pitalization for mental OBJ
servation as one of the most
pathetic" developments of the
war situation.
Figures show that these
cases have more than doubled
the record of previous years."

D. {. Bar Association
To Receive Report
On Ambulance Fund
Lawyers Seek $1,000
To Buy Equipment
For Service Hospitals

The District Bar Association will
have a report on the success or
failure of it's members as "ambu-
lance chasers" at monthly meet
ing Tuesday night at the Mayfower
Hotel.
Commenting that "ambulance
chasing now is no joke but is legiti-
mate" F.. Regis Noel, chairman of
the Ambulance Fund Committee of
the association, said yesterday that
the organization will hear a report on
the campaign to raise a $4,000 fund
to purchase and completely equip
for service two ambulances-one to
be presented to Walter Reed Hos
pital and the other to be given the
Naval Center at Anacostia.
Terming the drive to raise the
$4,000 fund among Washington at
torneys an attempt to increase their
spirit and morale Mr.. Noel said
that as far as the ambulances are
concerned, the Government has the
money to buy as many as it wants.
The associations main object, he
added, is to strengthen the spirit
and morale of lawers to do their part
in winning the war.
Approximately 200 members of
our association already are in the
armed forces of the United States,
risking their lives" Mr.. Noel said,
and we owe them a memorial If
they, as well as numerous other men
from this community, are willing to
take this mortal risk, why shouldn't
we, who continue in comparative
safety, contribute to this cause?"
In addition to the report on the
ambulance fund, members at the
meeting Tuesday will hear an ad-
dress by Judge George P. Barse of
the Municipal Court.

1941. Among these were the Gre
alton OF three squads to work di-
rectly under District inspectors in
the enforcement of vice, gambling
and alcoholic beverage control laws
and the creation of a police acad-
emy to give advanced instruction
in police work to experienced mem
bers of the force
But 3 Killings Unsolved.
In the case of the Detective
Bureau, for instance, Maj Kelly
cited that nine out of IL unsolved
homicides on record July L. l941,
had been cleared since that date
and that, of 73 homicides invests
gated during the last fiscal year.
only one has not been cleared.
1t has been noted from close OBJ
servation by various citizens and by
officials OF the department, the re-
port stated, that the general morale
OF the police force has increased
markedly during the last fiscal
year.
The members of the force have
met the conditions created by the
war with every ounce of energy and
nave continued to render excellent
service to the citizens of the Dis
trict during these trying times"
Maj. Kelly said.
The authorized strength of the
department was increased by 274
men in the last year, but it is
pointed out that the force still is
undermanned and should be sup
plemented by $50 additional police
men.
The report complimented highly
the auxiliary police force developed
during the present emergency. Mai.
Kelly said the presence of the auxil-
larles has acted as a strong crime
deterrent"
Services Outstanding.
He reported that each member Of
the auxiliary force has averaged at
least 10 hours per week in practical
training on the streets of Washing
ton and that they have performed
number OF outstanding services.
among these he cited the capture
OF John Eklund, the "sniper" mur-
derer, and Edward F. Deenihan. who
ran amuck, killing one person and
stabb1ng several others.
During the war emergency ac.
cording to the report, it has been
necessary to place in service everv
available piece Of automotive equip
ment. This has caused some diffl-
Guilty in keeping the equipment In
proper condition and the cost of
maintenance and operation has
greatly increased, 1t was explained.
but most of the difficulties have
been ironed out and the fleet .is
operating efficiently"
Referring at the close of his report
to the order preventing policemen
from soliciting funds for any organic
zation, Maj. Kelly said he felt there
should be some bond between the
Police Department and the Bows
Clubs OF the city In their common
interest In the welfare OF local bows.
Wherever 1t does not interfere with
the duties Of It's members, he added.
the department will assist the bows
organizations as much as possible.

Major Crimes Show
Decrease in District,
Maj. Kelly Reports
Auxiliary Police, New
Department Setup Get
Credit for Drop

A decrease in the number OF fell
onies in the District during the last
year was noted in the annual re-
port of Maj. Edward j. Kelly, SUI
perintendent of police, released yes
terday.
No cause for the decline In major
crime was given, but the superin-
tendent implied that part of the
praise was due the new auxiliary
police force and better functioning
of his department since certain per-
sonnel and operative changes were
put into effect.
The report showed 1922 felonies
for the fiscal year 1912, ended June
80, as compared to 8,467 for 194f, a
decline of 145 despite the popula-
ton increase. The 1912 total was
divisible into 496 for assault with a
dangerous weapon, 1,188 for grand
larceny, 2,473 for housebreaking, Sc
for murder, IS for criminal assault,
1,042 for robbery, 2,685 for unau-
thorized use of an automobile and
347 for other types. OF this num-
ber 5,439 have been cleared, while
1888 remained to be disposed of.
Arrests Fall 27,015.
Arrests for the year totaled 20s,-
1876, compared with 181, ,481 for 1941.
A substantial majority of those
made in 1912 were for violation of
municipal regulations, while the
next highest figure was for mis-
demeanors.
The police superintendent called
attention to the work of the Wom-
ans Bureau, which he said has
rendered valuable service in the
handling of juvenile delinquency,
sex oftenses of various types, jul
veniles living In undesirable sur
roundlngs and general work per.
tanning to the prevention and de-
lection OF crime. He reported that
1t had investigated during the last
year $3.50 complaints, an increase
OF 524 over the previous year, and
had made 168 more arrests.
Maj. Kelly said his department

Actually, SO chaplains have been

With the help of your scrap
Sparrows Point will turn out the
materials vitally needed in the wal

Sparrows Point, according to w. j
Taylor, assistant engineer in charge
of tests, is desperately in need OF
scrap metal.
1000 Tons Of Scrap Used Daily.
The largest tidewater steel plant
in the world, Sparrows Point is
turning out more than 100000
tons of ingots per year, between IS
and As per cent of this figure repre-
senting scrap salvaged in the plant
and purchased from junk whole

Sparrows Point uses 1000 tons OF
purchased scrap a day. That's part
of the scrap you pitch into your
salvage piles: Skid chains, junked
automobile parts, worn-out tools
and the thousands of household
items you have been collecting tc

And what happens to that scrap
once you surrender it?
The story of the final processing
of scrap, a fascinating chapter in
American industrial history, was un-
! folded before group of Washing
ton newspapermen in a recent tour
of the Bethlehem layout near Bal.

District scrap that gets to Spar
rows Point may be converted into
one or all of the following items
hull plates for ships, rails, rod, wire
and nail products, furnace welded
pipe, bomb cases and tin, to name
few.
Here's What Happens.
Suppose, for example, you pitch
a piece of steel, let's say, lawn.
mower, into the District drive. What
happens to it when it reaches Spar.
rows Point?
According to Mr.. Taylor. thai

tions and underscore the vital i'm.
portance of scrap metal to the wal

Your steel and iron contribution.
to the scrap drive are taking the
following journey from your cellal
and attic into the war effort:
l. Iron ore, coke and limeston,
are thrown into one of seven bias
furnaces. Pre-heated air is entered
at the bottom of the furnace to fur.
nish the combustion for the coke
The molten result is pig iron.
q. After mixing to insure uni.
formity, the pig iron and scrap ar.
entered into an open hearth furnac.
(there are rs of them at Sparrow
Point, plus three Bessemer con.
verters), where the combination i!
melted down and poured into ingo1
molds.
Evening star., 1942-10-11

3. The ingots are heated to insure
uniformity, then rolled to the de-
sired gauge and reduced at slabbing
mills and hot strip mills.
Plates Vary in Size.
The resultant steel plates vary in
size, depending on the purposes for
which they are to be used.
In the case of tin, the ingot is
pressed out to 2-mile strip and
rolled into spools, which represented
about rs per cent Of the original
ingot content.
In the case of wire, a billet two
inches square and 30 feet long is
reduced to a thread .O37 inches in
diameter and approximately 500
miles long.
In the manufacture of hull plates
for ships, the scrap is converted and
ready for use in 48 hours. The time
on other operations varies, depend
ing on the finishing processes. Some
take as long as three or four weeks.
The technioues of pipe furnace
welding, cleaning, picking and an
healing long sections of steel, the
timing process and the super
scientific methods of inspection of
each individual product comprise an
industrial magic without which the
mass production of finished steel
products would be only a dream.
The Importance of scrap to the
steel industry is impossible to over
estimate.
Why Scrap Is Vital Now.
Mr.. Taylor put it this way:
1--WE use about 65 per cent pig
iron and 35 per cent scrap in the
open hearth operations. We could
boost the pig iron ratio to IS per cent
and still get profitable quality. But
beyond IS per cent, the impurities in
the steel would be so great that we
would be unable to produce steel
economically.
"We must have scrap reserve for
the winter. Scrap steel is refined
steel relatively free of impurities" J"
He continued:
'Or look at it this way: When we
use iron ore, we are robbing Mother
:, Earth. When we collect scrap, we
are converting back into essential
use good steel and iron which has
already been taken from the EARTH
In addition to Mr.. Taylor, the
following Bethlehem officials helped
conduct the tour: G. E. Clarke, as
sistant general manager; P. F..
Dolan, assistant general manager in
charge of operations; F. G. Wright
son, assistant to the general man.
