Salvage Chiefs Call
For 400 Volunteers
As Depot Captains
Each to Be Given CHARGE
Of 8 to 10 Block Area
To Speed Collections

The District of Columbia Salvage
Committee desperately needs at
least 400 depot captains, Horace
Walker, executive secretary of the
organization, said yesterday in issu-
ing a new call for civilian co-opera-
ton in the salvage campaign.
The committee has acquired the
voluntary services of approximately
200 captains, he said, can use at
least 600 more and must have at
least 400 more.
THE more we get, the smoother
the depot system will function, -
Mr.. Walker said.
Eight Block Areas.
With 600 captains, he explained,
each captain will be in charge of
an area extending eight or 10 blocks.
With more captains, the block areas
will be reduced.
Mr.. Walker asks all persons who
wish to volunteer an hour or two
per week to the salvage effort to call
his Office at Republic 8488 or call the
appropriate salvage chairman, list
OF which is herewith attached.
Duties of the depot captains are !:
l. They must take charge of the
depot and insure the installation of
scrap deposit bins for metal, rubber
and rags.
2. They must organize and super
wise the work of the block lieuten-
ants.
3,771 Calls for Pickups.
Mr.. Walker, who previously had
estimated that September scrap
metal collections by the Salvage
Committee totaled approximately
100000 pounds, yesterday revealed
that the committee answered 3,77l
calls for pickups during the month
He expects to announce the exact
september collections Monday, along
with the poundage collected in the
second Sunday "superdrive" of Sep
tember q in the western half of the
city.
OF the 3,771 calls for pickups, one
third were from business houses and
the remainder from private homes,
he said. Amounts picked up ranged
from 10 pounds to 10 tons.
AS a footnote to his report yes
terday, Mr.. Walker revealed that
24,l40 pounds of fats were salvaged
during September, as against the
Districts monthly quota of 249,oOO
pounds. an admittedly poor show
ing which he ascribed to the en-
phasls on scrap metal collections.
