one ton per truck. The two Sunday
drives netted the District 2,62l truck
loads.
Complaining the estimates is the
fact that officials do not yet know
how much of the scrap collected in
the Sunday superdrives is of the
specified type which can be sent to
steel mills.
Working at Limit.
Meanwhile, as District residents
were asked to explore their homes
for new sources of scrap metal, Mr..
Walker pleaded for patience among
prospective donors, pointing out
that If Salvage Committee pickups
are not authorized Immediately, it
is only because facilities are already
being worked to the limit.
He said that in order to alleviate
the collection responsibility of re-
tail junk dealers, who were swamped
by Sundays drive, 80 Army trucks
were utilized this morning, assisting
retailers at the 81 emergency depots
In the western sections of the city.
" The trucks were mobilized at the
ofhce of Benjamin L.. Savage, 3045
K street NV, at 8 am. and as
signed to various depots.
One Of the first public spirited
citizens to respond to Mr.. walkers
plea for continued, effort in the reg
ulaf collection drive was DR.. Anna
j. Cooper, president emeritus OF
Frelinghuysen University, a school
for employed colored persons at 2o1
T street NV.
Iron Fence Offered.
DR. Cooper is offering a 240-foot
iron fence which surrounds the
school property and is held in deed
by the Hannah Stanley Opportunity
School, Of which DR.. Cooper is prirf-
cipal.
The Star learned through DR..
Cooper and Louis Rothschild. chair
man OF the Board of Trustees OF the
school, that the fence, which weighs
several hundred pounds, will be made
available to the scrap metal cam
paign If authorities will have 1t torn
down.
DR.. Cooper is donating the fence
on condition that the persons
who are authorized to scrap it treat
the lawn with the respect due a
well-tended garden.
DR.. Cooper's offer OF the 24O-foot
fence is merely one reflection of the
spirit Of her institution, the alumni
OF which are buying War bonds to
help swell the schools endowment
fund.
Have Made Collection.
DR.. Cooper is also guardian OF the
Aurora Campfire Girls of Freling-
huysen, a scrap-conscious group of
six who have collected rags, rubber
and scrap metal for the District SAL
wage drive.
A teacher in District schools for
43 years, DR.. Cooper retired to be-
come president of Frelinghuysen
University in 1880 and held her
position until 1941, at which time the
Rev. A. A. Birch, B. TIL, became
president with DR.. Coopers retire
ment.
The fence which DR.. Cooper is
offering Is one of many District
sources Of scrap metal, Mr.. Walker
said, but full plans for the collec-
ton of these items have not yet
been worked out and will not be
completed for several days.

Failure 10 Pick Up Scrap
Irks Chevy Chase Area

A sour note on the scrap collec-
tion drive in at least one section OF
the Chevy Chase (Md9 area was
struck today when citizens arose to
find Junk collected Sunday still piled
along the streets.
The scrap was piled up Sunday by
Air-raid wardens on instructions
from sector wardens, but apparently
no definite arrangements have been
made for its removal. Yesterday
school children and older persons
dug through the piles and carried
away some Of the material. Resi-
dents of section said they were
unable to get any definite assurance
as to when 1t would be removed.
It also has been reported that
persons have been looting scrap
piles along Wisconsin avenue. Sc
lecting pieces of brass and other
metals and selling them.
George v. Menke, chairman OF the
County Salvage Committee, said in
structions had been sent to all sec
tor wardens to notify him when
collections were ready for removal.
He said thus far he had had only
three or four requests for trucks de-
spite the work done Saturday and
Sunday.

Scrap Supply al Plants
Increased 59o During July
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Mines reported
today domestic stocks of iron and
steel scrap at consumers, suppliers
and producers plants at the end of
last July were par cent higher
than at the end of June.
Stocks totaled 5,087 900 gross tons
on July 81 against 4,859,00O on
June 80, the bureau said, explaining
that the increase was attributable
to the fact that consumers stocks
increased approximately 7 per cent
while suppliers and producers
stocks decreased only per cent"
Consumption of scrap and pig
iron during July was listed at
8,898,000 gross tons. The bureau
said this was an increase of one per
cent over the 8,8l1, 900 tons used
in June but declared this increase
was entirely due to the longer
month, as the average daily melt
was 2 per cent less in July than in
June

Beekmun Sentenced
In Axis Resort Case
BY the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-Gustav
Beekman, who pleaded guilty to a
charge of maintaining a disorderly
house in Brooklyn, was sentenced in
Special Sessions Court yesterday to
an indeterminate sentence tn the
city penitentiary.
Beekman's arrest brought about
accusations by the New York Post
that Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
Massachusetts, had visited the house,
but on May 40 Senate Majority
Leader Barkley told the Se1Ste that
an investigation by the FBI had
exonerated Senator Walsh.
The FBI entered the case because
Nazi spies were reported to have
frequented Beekman's house.
County Judge Samuel Liebowitz
described Beekman's house as rem
devious for Axis agents seeking
information from soldiers, sailors
and marines who visited it.

Entire Country Must
Remake Economy 10
Win, kcNutt Warns
Failure to Use Full
Monpower Is Losing
War, He Declares

Chairman Paul v. McNutt of
the War Manpower Commission
today added his voice to those
high officials who have warned
I'VE are losing this war" and he
declared that in order to win
I'VE must remake our economy
- in communities the length
and breadth of America"
Mr.. McNutt said to win the war
the United States must take full
advantage of every ounce of its
manpower. Addressing luncheon
Of the Baltimore Chamber of Com
merce. Mr.. McNutt warned:
Failure to use any useful man or
wofhan threatens the life of every
soldier on the fighting front. 1t
threatens the success Of American
arms. 1t threatens the very Sc
curity of the Nation"
Praises Kaiser's Efforts.
Mr.. McNutt praised the work of
the United States Employment
Service and of Mrs. Anna Rosen-
berg, regional director of the Man
power Commission. in taking over
the job of recruiting workers in New
York last week for Henry j. Kaiser.
West Coast shipbuilder. Comment
ing on the efforts of Kaiser repre-
sentatives to hire workers indie
pendently of the Government. he
said:
Wars are not won by magnificent
free-lance competition. They are
won by team work. Five special
trains are at this moment speeding
somewhere between New York and
Puget Sound-a dramatic symbol of
what team work between Govern
ment and management and workers
can do"
But Mr.. McNutt charged that Mr..
Kaiser's methods were wrong. He
said that If the Employment Service
and Mrs. Rosenberg had not stepped
in the recruiting drive might have
drawn thousands of workers from
the Brooklyn Navy Yard and other
war plants. He added There are
plenty of workers with itchy feet"
The Manpower Commission chair
man described at length the place
of women in the war effort and
said that nearly 80 per cent of war
production jobs can be handled by
women. The program to train and
nhQnnn1i2n {vafN
must be greatly accelerated, he
added.
Women, Handicapped Needed.
In addition to full use of women
power, Mr.. McNutt said that colored
persons must be used in war work
trivial handicaps must not bar a
man from employment, and thai
many skilled men now retired must
return to work, if we are to obtain
suf1icient manpower to win the war
Mr.. McNutt declared that in ad.
dition to all of this, every worker
must be used at his top skill. He
warned that If any organiza ton
whether management or labor, pro.
poses to hold workers at less thar
top skill, or to waste worker energy
In production that does not econo.
mlze manpower, the Nation can no
AFFORD to let such situation go on
He called for an immediate pro.
gram within industry for traininl
and upgrading Of workers.
He praised the efforts OF Baltin1or,
to solve its own manpower problem
by taking full advantage of loca
labor supply. He said the city in thi.
respect was a model for the entir,
country.

Plans for Collection
OF 5aIvageab|e Tin
Being Worked Out
Week-by-Week Truck
Hauling With Trosh
Under Consideration

Washington residents soon will re-
ceive call from the Commissioners
to save, collect and donate salvage
able tin as means of furthering
the war effort, under plans now
being drafted at the instance of the
War Production Board.
Under pending proposals, trucks
of the City Refuse Division will be
employed in the collection OF the
scrap tin, in continuing program
as distinguished from the special
drives for scrap iron. Details yet
are to be perfected, but household
ers will be asked to wash any and
all tin containers, cut off the tops
and bottoms and mash them into
a fiat piece.
May Ask Funds.
City officials fear they may run
into deficit on the deal and are
prepared to ask Congress for sup
Elemental appropriations for oper-
alton of the City Refuse Division,
but indicated they were convinced
of the war need for collection of all
available empty tins to speed the
manufacture of munitions and tools
of war.
The problem was reviewed yes
terday by William Xanten, super;n-
tendent of the City Refuse Division,
and Maj. John Blake Gordon, di-
rector of sanitary engineering. in a
conference with the Commissioners
a Put Out With Trash.
Under the tentative plan, house
holders will be asked to put out
washed, cut and mashed tin cans
with the usual trash pile for collec-
ton by District government trucks
Mr.. Xanten said this may slow up
normal trash collections from
householders, but that 1t was not
planned to use garbage trucks. SO
that there should be no delay in gar
bage collections.
Left for the future is the question
Of how to handle scrap tin from
commercial and industrial estab-
lishments.

reports that small boys had been
seen looking at piles of scrap there,
but nothing was known to have been
removed from the heaps.
Meanwhile nothing further had
been heard today from a dairyman
who, it was reported, stopped his
truck at a scrap pile in the Massa-
chusetts avenue area, examined an
automobile tire which had been
contributed as salvage and finally
threw 1t into his truck and drove
away.

gine room. Forty-two crew members

not be accepted without confirma-
ton" The Germans said the Raj
