Sunday in western sections of the
city.
Meanwhile, scrap metal collections
will start tomorrow in Montgomery
and Arlington Counties. Drives are
already under way in Fairfax and
Prince Georges Counties. Alexandria
plans onc-day campaign, the date
for which has not been set.
Today's collection in the District
will serve as barometer of what
may be expected next Sunday, COM
mittee officials said yesterday.
Estimates of todays possibilities
range from 100000 to 1000 900
pounds. Officials said that a rough
preliminary tally of today's total will
be available Tuesday.
Washington's scrap metal quota
for the period ending January l..
1e43, is 100000 pounds. OF this
total, 23,000,000 pounds have vet to
be collected. The two Sunday drives
1t is hoped, will make up an ap-
preciable amount of this volume.
Two specific instructions have
been given to junk dealers by
Horace Walker, secretary of the
Commissioners Special Scrap Sal
wage Committee. The first is that
Junk dealers must keep separate
report on all scrap hauled away:
ana second, their final report on
today's collection, accompanied by
checks, must be In Secretary
walkers hands by Thursday. The
purpose of the separate report by
Junk dealers is to make certain that
scrap is credited to the organization
officially recognized as area bene-
ficiaries.
Drive Without Precedent.
The scrap metal mobilization Is
on scale without precedent here.
First, the District Commissioners
appointed a committee of seven
widely known citizens to recommend
what should be done. The special
committee submitted plans the
following day and the Commits
sioners approved them.
At once the District Government
gave its support to the drive, by
offering ITO trucks and crews of
laborers to gather scrap from side
walks. This figure was oversub-
scribed in one day by business
concerns, which are furnishing 110
TRUCKS and their. own drivers at
their own expense, to make sure
that the metal will not be left lying
on sidewalks.
| Junk dealers have been furnished

next Sunday to collect their scrap,
but are doing some work every day.
The Sixteenth Street Heights de-
fense area, for instance, is conduct
ing a concentrated drive Wednesday
and Thursday to get scrap to depots
in preparation for the Sept. 27 CAM
paign. They have borrowed trucks,
and are being assisted by Boy and
Girl Scouts who are notifying resi-
dents in the area. J. C. Rutter is
salvage chairman.
In addition to fleet of 40 or
more trucks, the retail junk dealers
OF Washington today will have a
pool of 25 trucks in reserve. to dig
into depots where collections assume
huge proportions. 1t is easier for
the junk men to load where piles
are of average size, consisting of a
few tons. Where heavyweight scrap
is put in the stock piles, trucks espe-
cially equipped with derricks will be
needed to lift it.

moved and contributed to the scrap
drive, it was said.
Mr.. Waldie said the Defense
Homes Corp, is holding back from
the scrap pile for the present a
number of statues, cast in Paris, for
further evaluation as objects of art.
If these prove to be of doubtful
value, he said, they probably will
be added to the salvage pile.
This metal was to have been
part of the decorative scheme of Nc
Lean Gardens" Mr.. Waldie said.
ut would have contributed ma
terially to the beauty of the project.
However this idea was conceived
sometime ago, when men still dared
to concern themselves with the
aesthetics of life. That was before
Pearl Harbor."
The metal objects which will be
retained for further valuation, Mr..
Waldie said, include group of cast
iron statues from the lotus fountain.

OF ornamented tops to lamp posts.

Metal Ornaments at Friendship
To Be 1ossed on Scrap Heap

A scrap pile, estimated to contain
approximately Is tons of metal con-
vertible for war use and consisting
OF giant urns, ornamental metal
gondolas and fancy lampposts which
once decorated Friendship, the Ed
ward B. Mclean estate here, will be
donated to Washington's salvage
metal drive.
Robert c. Waldie, manager of
Mclean Gardens. a project of the
Defense Homes Corp, which is now
converting the estate on Wiscon-
sin avenue NV. into an apartment
development, said yesterday that
whenever pick is set into the
ground at Friendship some form
of scrap metal is unearthed' and
estimated that before salvage op-
erations are completed approximate
ly Is tons of scrap metal may find
its way from the project to the

and private crews will work block

SO that no area will be overlooked.
They know where to haul the scrap
and their efficiency should improve
after the first two or three hours
spent in collecting material.
Officials to Watch.
To get first-hand glimpse of the
actual collections, Secretary Walker
and a group of officials will leave
the District Building, Fourteenth
and Pennsylvania avenue NV, at
II am. today. The entire area will
not be covered. but high spots in
northeast and southeast will be vis-
tied to see how the work is function
ing. Mr.. Walker has invited the
District Commissioners to accom-
pany his party.
Householders have been urged for
a week to put scrap iron and steel
only in front OF their residences.
No collections will be made on prem
ises. Donors must place the. scrap
on sidewalks near the curbing, suf :
f1ciently far away not to damage
tenders of parked automobiles or
interfere with pedestrian sidewalk
traffic.

many yards salvage crews operate
on three shifts day. Besides
laborers and cleanup men, the
crews enlist such skilled craftsmen
as machinists, burners and pipe
filter helpers.
The Maritime Commission re-
ports that as high as go per cent
of salvaged steel is being reprocessed
and used Immediately in one yard.
The remainder is sent to the steel
mills to be rerolled into plate. Two
yards on the Pacific Coast have re-
ported monthly salvage of 1.10O
tons. A single plant in the East,
with so tons of scrap collected each
day, averages $500 tons a month.

Salvage Campaigns
Nuts, Bolts, Washers
Reused; Trimmings
Now Patterned

While using thousands of tons of
steel a month. shipyards throughout
the country are engaged in a con-
slant salvage drive, according to the
United States Maritime Commis-
sion. One yard alone collects enough
scrap from its shipbuilding in two
months to furnish the equivalent
amount of steel for the construction
of one liberty ship.
Furthermore, in some of the
plants the parts are re-machined
right in the plant without the
necessity of going through the fur
naces again. Part of the scrap is
sent to schools for use in instructing
velders, later being forwarded to
the salvage heap.
The shipyard people are reported
to be taking every step to gather
up and use every bit of material.
In one yard it was found that dis
carded Welding rods had a salvage
value of $11 a ton as against an
original cost of Sl40. The workers
when they learned of this are burn
ing off more of the rods before cast
ing them on the scrap heap.
Smaller Items Reused
Trimmings" resulting from steel
sections left over after large parts
are patterned, instead of being put
on the scrap heap, now are being
used to make many of the. smaller
items required in ship construction.
1t was said that machine shop work
ers who make these items now are
so expert that they require almost
no ALLEGATION of fresh plate. Several
tons Of steel are needed almost daily,
1t was said, for yard maintenance,
such as braces for buildings, periodic
repair of cranes and other motive
equipment, construction of pipe
racks and welding tables, containers
for overhead cranes and WorkboXes
for workmen. Steel for these and
for scores of other articles formerly
made from new material now come
from the scrap heap.
But by far the most numerous
items garnered each day are bolts,
nuts, rivets and washers. Damaged
bolts are made usable by rethread-
ing or cutting down to the next
smaller size and nuts are retapped.
So thorough are the sorters, it was
asserted that the pieces sent back
to the steel mills are good for moth
ing except shrapnel. Wheelbarrows,
trucks and even railway cars con-
Stantly are being filled with everv
kind of castoff from shipbuilding
operations. The material is brought
to special sections of the yards.
where it is carefully sorted and
classified. Copper, brass, zinc and
other non-ferrous metals salvaged
from wornout electric bulbs and
f1ashlight batteries are segregated
and usually sold to outside buyers.

CARGO CARRYING
 PLANES BACKED
War Labor Board ReCOm- mends an Increase; Up to
 Army, Navy to Do It

Washington. Aug. 6. - (UP) A special war production board in- vestigating committee has recoin- mended that manufacture of cargo carrying planes be lat least dou- bled," but responsibility for carrying out the program rests with the Army and Navy. WIPE Chairman Dorald M. Nelson said last night.
 To make this increase would mean a curtailment of the output of war planes.
 This is a decision for the chiefs of staff to make, since it is essen tially matter of high military strategy" he said. Meantime, the War Production Board will continue to study the situation to see wheth- CT it is going to be possible to ex- pand our production of cargo planes through new facilities or by using other industries such as shipyards."
 Nelsons statement came as a Senate military affairs subcommit- tee concluded, at least for the time being, hearings on bill to set up supply board to authorize construc- tion of an unlimited number of flying freighters"
 Lieut.. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, commander of the army air forces told the committee yesterday that i've welcome any program for con- version of any facilities to manu- facture of cargo planes, provided it doesn't cut into the presently planned combat plane production program"
 Sen. Josh Lee, D., Okla, chairman of the subcommittee and one of the authors of the cargo plane bill, said he was more convinced than ever" that some shipbuilding facilities could be converted to plane produc- tion if sufficient steel were obtained
 G. M. Bellanca, pioneer airplane designer, proposed to the committee that fleet of 10000 to 10000 air freighters be built.
 The WIPE committee questioned the efficiency of the glider train" in moving cargo to world battle fronts, saying it does not appear that "the glider has any important contribution to make. :"
