which was reported today.
Discussing preparations to de-
velop and obtain war supplies,
Ickes said
"In brief, the program calls for
new or intensified explorations for
copper, zinc, lead. iron, chromite,
beauxite, clays and many other
minerals; for utilization or accel-

wise, we will 90 into direct pro-

Citing manganese as an example
