Thousand War Plants
Moy Have to Close
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Owners of small steel mills
told the Senate's Special Defense
Investigating Committee today
the difficulty of obtaining ingots
with which to work was holding
their production below capacity.
Earlier, the War Production Board
disclosed that a report of its Labor
Policy Committee expressed fears
that "as many as 1000" war plants
might be forced to cut production
this month and next for lack Of
materials. The resolution was
adopted by the Labor Committee
July 30.
John Hosack, vice president of
the Mahoning Valley Steel Co.,
Niles, Ohio, told the Senate Com
mittee his plant was running at
about n per cent of its capacity
while A. M. Oppenheimer. president
of the Apollo (Pa.) Steel Co., said
his mill was operating at IS or 70
per cent. In both cases, the short
age Of raw materials was given as
the cause.
Both said the larger companies
supplying them with semi-f1nished
steel for rolling into sheet were re-
ducing the allotments to them be-
cause Of the war orders in their own
plants. They said they thought
Republic Steel Co. and some other
big plants we're not allowing a fair

closed these facts today:
Empty sacks strung out in an
open field in the form Of figure

plane factory" were nothing more
deadly than some fertilizer bags
tossed from a truck to dry on the
farm of lifelong resident of the
Eastern Shore of Virginia, who is
cne of the most prominent members

warden there.
Feeding Ground for Birds.
An obscure clearing resembling
an arrow pointing to an eastern
air base' is-or rather, was-a feed
ing ground for birds-one of some
800 or 900 set up in the State of New
Jersey by the Fish and Game Com
mission in 1887 with the aid of the
old Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration.
Both of these markers" were re-
moved after an investigation by the
Army months ago after the pictures
published only yesterday i had
been made.
A third picture in the lot, which
was distributed to the press by Col.
Dache M. Reeves. commanding the
ground support unit, showed a field
plowed in the shape OF an arrow
thai presumably pointed at near
by airplane factory" So far as is
known, the field actually exists.
The following memorandum on
the matter was issued today by the
War Department:
Reports reaching the War De-
partment indicate that a story rela-
tive to signs pointing to important
defense installations, released at
Mitchell Field, N. Y. for publication
on Monday, may be untrue. The
commanding general. Eastern De-
Tense Command, is having a detailed
investigation made, and he will take
| appropriate action"
At Mitchell Field, the Associated
Press reported, the public relations
office OF the 1st Air Force said
that the story and pictures about
the markers we're approved in writ
ing~by the Bureau OF Public Rela
tions OF the War Department here
before being released.
Same Story Out in June.
Calculated to make the newspa-
pers blush also is the fact that the
same story on markers, with an
alteration here and there-but with
out pictures, was distributed from
| the same source in June and pub
lished in Sunday feature sections.
At that time, however, the pictures
of the markers" were withheld as
military secrets
One of the principal differences
| involved the fertilizer sack, long
tailed 49, In the first instance
the design was described as "a large,
handsome flower bed, unusual In
conception"
The "plowed field" device this
time also was new touch.
A striking similarity OF both
stories was the praise heaped on the
lst Ground Air Support Command
for ferreting out the markers by
air patrols.
