Two other workers who merit

18th Infantry Team
Routs Cardinals
TrOunced Locals So To % To Chalk
Up Their Sixth Straight

The 18th Infantry (Second Bat
talion) played their best ball of
the young season by running rough
,shod over the talented Milford Car
dinals, SO to 23 at the Milford Com
munity Building on Thursday eve
ming. December 10. Scoring their
second win over a team that held
them to a 3-point victory the week
before, the Infantrymen started in
high gear and were never headed
at any time. With Monte Curren
leading the scoring parade with II
points, and Lieutenant Kellmurray
close behind with 16, the Khakis
held 26-10 advantage at half-time
and continued scoring with the
scrubs, who played the last quar-
ter in which the Cardinals only
tailed five points.
Milford's tall center, wilkins,
was a standout player with 10
points and played a strong game in
the ball off the back
boards. Curren and Joe Hughes, in
their initial start with the SOL
diers, fit in nicely with the five
man defense set up by Coach Kell-
murray but their quick breaking
tactics set the tempo for a high
scoring ball game.

Stress Need For
Scrap

Quantities, Current In

Iron and steel scrap will be
needed in increasing quantities and
the requirements for next years
production will entail a deeper
penetration of the dormant scrap
resources Of industry, Of the farm
and of the heavier household met
ais, Lessing ]. Rosenwald, director
of the WPB Conservation Division,
and H. G. Batcheller, director Of
the Steel Division, emphasized in
a joint statement.
Despite statements that steel
mills are resting easy" and that
scrap dealers are overstocked, the
fact remains that most of the nom
recurring scrap has gone into
armament shipped abroad which
will never come back, the WPB
officials declared.
Current mill inventories of scrap
are not large enough to satisfy any
probable future demands and the
situation can easily become acute
again in less. than week, they
added.
Statements concerning the inven-
tory situation in scrap dealers
yards are being Investigated by the
government, the joint announce
ment said. Government stockpiles
will be established if the time ever
comes when scrap dealers cannot
handle the flow of salvage mate
rials to the mills. These stock piles
would be insurance" against any
scrap shortage that might develop.
