, or it simply stepped in and requisi-
toned what it wanted, leaving the
full, technical settlement until peace
time.
Sunken Ships Salvaged.
The corporation finds it's scrap in
| varied forms, but always it works
in conjunction with the War Pro-
duction Board end it says:
Ships have been sunk in the
Mississippi River and it's tributaries
over long period of years and
many Of them are high in iron con-
tent. Some of it dates back to the
Civil War. Much of it has been
removed.
"It has been estimated there we're
1000 s:lkings on the river since
Civil War days. The Corps of En-
gineers of the Army has been max
ing a complete survey of all mate
rials of this character and a good
start has been made in removing it.
Up to date, $4,000 tons of iron and
steel scrap have been salvaged.
The salvage work is being done
by the engineers The Metals Re-
serve CO. takes title to the scrap
and disposes of it,
The corporation added:
"A good deal of scrap tonnage is
being recovered from city dumps.
Going into these dumps with scoop
shovels has developed a large ton
| mage of flrSt-claSS iron and steel
scrap.
Old Mines Reopened.
In the Denver area an astonish-
ing amount of salvage has been OBJ
| tanned from abandoned Mines
Here are some examples of how
the corporation works:
The New York, Westchester Il
Boston Railroad property had been
in litigation many years. Part of
the road, according to the corpora
ton, cost 81 900 900 a mile"
When settlement of various claims
against the road were stymied in
court, the corporation reports it
stepped in and threatened to
requisition the property unless a
settlement were reached. It was
reached. allowing the Government
to buy the metal inventory.
Hoodoo Ship Reclaimed.
The 1,800-ton tanker j. Oswald
Boyd, whose name was linked with
death and disaster, was called a
hoodoo ship by men around the
Great Lakes.
In 1886 it piled up on a reef In
Lake Michigan. The crew escaped
but five men who set out to salvage
its cargo of 100000 tons OF high-test
gasoline were lost in an explosion
aboard ship.
Soon after a heavy truck. trying
to reach the vessel, broke through
the lake ice and was lost with its
| driver.
There were suggestions that the
old, unhappy wreck should be
bombed to remove it as shipping
hazard, but the WPB's special sal
wage section-under which the cor
poration operates-stepped in and In
no time the ship was on its way to
the mills as scrap.
Old Buildings. Bridges Eyed.
While house-to-house surveys are
being made to root out the smaller
kind of scrap in pounds-still vitality
important to the mills-the cor
poration is quietly going about the
job of having surveys made of old
buildings, bridges and railroads that
have long outlived their usefulness
but will produce scrap in tons.
The corporation will try to nego-
tiate with the owners for the pur-
chase of the property-but, if there
is no deal forthcoming, the Govern
ment agency will simply requisition
1t reports that the very thought OF
requisitioning often brings property
owners to a quick settlement.

This was the story of the corpora

the problems that might have
loomed as gigantic even in this
country where immense engineering
problems were taken in stride.
Half Billion to Spend.
The corporation had $5O0,0OO 900
