Heartened by Russie

Russia's astoundly heroic de.
Tense of Stalingrad is having most
|heartening effect, When the Ger
man home folks learn the extent
of their losses, when they realize
that they face another winter OF
war. when city after city in the
fatherland is devastated, what will
befall their morale?
No comfort to them has beer
coming lately from Northern
Africa. They see Madagascar
seized by Britain.
Italy has been rendered impo-
tent Japan appears to have been
checkmated, at least for the pres
ent. on every important front.
U-boat sinkings have been dras-
tically reduced.
Meanwhile, the productive. the
military. naval, air might OF the
United States is becoming more
impressive, more telling. Our ship
are multiplying graft
fyingly. Also our output OF bomb

Opening of another front. the
invasion of Western Europe, draws
steadily nearer.
Hitler's subjugated nations be-
come holder and holder, Sabotage
requires increasing policing by
German soldiers.
Each day General Winter is APP
preaching nearer the Russian
front, to aid the defenders, harass
the invaders. The prospect is that
Hitler will again be thwarted in
his ambition to bring Russia to her
knees this year.

Criticism Gets Bitter

automobiles. The button-holers
voiced mild sort of risappropal

They have finally gotten down
to replying to Pegler on paper.

WPB Reveals Awarding

BY FELIX GOTTEN
International News service stan Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S. -
Thousands of small plants which
otherwise would fold up and die
because of inability to obtain ma
terials apparently will be saved
through the efforts of the smaller
war plants division of the War
Production Board. set up to give
small business a share in the war
effort.
This was indicated tonight as
Frank Smith, head of the engi.
Ineering section of the division. re-
vealed that S6.000.00O worth oil
war contracts had been placed
with small concerns in the last
two weeks.
DROP IN THE BUCKET
"Aithough this Is only a drop
In the bucket compared with
what we expect to be able to
do" Smith said, I'VE are glad of
this opportunity to make n start.
1t demonstrates that we are
getting cooperation from the
procurement officers-not Just
talking about it-and II gives
us chance to prove that the
cooperation II merited.
These contracts will be exc
cuted In q completely satisfac-
tory manner-and on time, or
! miss my guess"
The division is under the direc.
ton of Lou Holland. hard
headed business man who. as q
tione-handed operator. spent many
weary and fruitless months chas.
ing after war contracts before the
division was created.
IMPRESSES LEGISLATORS
Gray-eyed and Irish, and giftec
with patience, a fine sense oI
humor, an exact and orderly In.
ltellect and great practical wisdom
Holland made big hit with q
group OF senators and representa-
tives in a recent speech here.
Speaking with blunt fortnight
ness, he warned that the hare
exigencies of a war economy
would force out OF existence man,
OF the $4,000 concerns in thu
country, simply because they arr
in no position to handle war bust
mess and because critical ma
lterials must be channeled into the
war effort.
He was certain, however. thai
at least $4,000 small plants coulc
contribute to war production b,
making gadgets. parts and sub.
assemblies of complete mechan
isms, and he convinced the senator.
and representatives. keenly inter
ested in keeping as many small
plants alive as possible, that sub
stantial progress was being made
in an orderly program for small
plant participation in production
BOMB ORDERS PLACED
Smith explained that two arm,
orders totaling S4,500.000 fol
making large number of incendi.
airy bombs had been placed with
small concerns in Providence
r. l., and Louisville. KY. in add.
ton. he said. a $500. 900 con.
tract for making gasoline pumps

Scrap Supply
For This Winter
Worries WPB
1000, 900 Tons Seen
Necessary TO Assure
Uninterrupted Output

CLEVELAND, Sept. 2S.-Increas-
ing concern is being manifested
Iby the War Production Board
over prospects for the coming
winters scrap supply. Conserva-
lion division has set 100000 tons
as necessary reserve inventory at
the end OF the year to assure. I'M
interrupted steel production al
capacity through the cold months,
says Steel
To attain this objective the sal
wage campaign is being intensified
and scrap is being dragged out
from many hidden sources. AT
present the flow is little more
than sufficient to maintain steel
output at the current high rate,
tonnage being laid down for win
ter use being insignificant. An
encouraging feature Is the rise In
monthly receipts by consumer
plants, increasing from 1853, 900
tons in January to $4,000 tons
in July. although requirements for
steelmaking have been consuming
this increased volume from month
TO month.

HEAVY PRESSURE

|
for sheared plates October alloca'
ltions point to easing demand fol
strip plate and some mills will bt
able to devote more tonnage tC
sheets than for some time. This
shift indicates that pressing re.
quirements are being met anC
stocks built up to a safe working
margin. Some mills have beer
given no plate tonnage below the
IA groups, with others allocatec
material as low as Asa. though
the lower ratings cover little ton
mage.
Delivery promises on sheets are
becoming further deferred and
many producers refuse to make
firm promises. Buying is light, ex-
cept for government requirements,
and the tight situation Is due In
part to reduced ALLEGATIONS of semi
finished steel. In some cases sheet
mills are operating considerably
below capacity for this reason.
Considerable sheet tonnage is on
order for use in fabricating land
ing field mesh. Tonnage on mill
books is almost exclusively in top
ratings and some producers have
more difficulty In meeting sheet
deliveries than In plates. Govern
ment requirements, formerly al
most exclusively in heavier cages.
now have broadened to include
nearly all specifications. even to
cold-rolled electrical sheets.
ESSENTIAL NEEDS
Little change Is noted In the pig
iron situation, October ALLEGATIONS
being expected to parallel recent
months, with slight changes as
more meters engage In direct war
work. Sufficient iron Is being sup
piled for all essential needs and
mefters in nearly all cases are
lpleased with distribution. Output
is being increased steadily and
time lost for refining is being cut
materially. Carnegie-Illinois Steel
Company has relighted its Clair
ton No. / stack after refining in
48 days. In. most districts all
stacks are in production, few be-
ing down for repair. Granite City
Pig Iron Company is meeting de-
lays in rehabilitating its second
stack, material deliveries being
slow.
Steelmaking operations last
week held at 90 per cent OF ca
pacity for the fifth week. Only
slight changes were made in active
equipment. Pittsburgh advanced
point to 96 per cent. Cleveland n
point to 93h. Cincinnati 8 points
to 90 and Detroit 6 points to IS.
Wheeling dropped 4 points to 801a
per cent, st. Louis 3 points to 80
and eastern Pennsylvania h-point
TO So. Unchanged rates were as
follows: Chicago. 102h: Buffalo

Allies Join
In Buying
Fats, Oils

WASHINGTON, Sept. II QNS).
"A move was made toward a
worldwide program for procure
ment and ALLEGATION of important
war materials tonight when the
combined food board OF the United
and Great Britain an
nounced plan for purchase and
distribution of fats, oils and oil
seeds.
Heralding further possible steps
to procure and allot critical sup
plies in an orderly manner, the
plan calls for the exclusive buying
by the United States of fats and
oils in certain prescribed regions
of the world. and by the United
Kingdom in other areas.
SUPPLIES TO BE ALLoCATED
The purchases will be made on
behalf of all governments adher-
ing to an agreement for co-ordi-
mated procurement and ALLEGATION
of these vital war products. The
governments are those of the
United States, United Kingdom,
Canada. Australia. New Zealand
and South Africa.
Supplies purch ased by the
United States and Great Britain
will be allocated among the par
ticipating nations according to
recommendations by the combined
food board.
Fats and oils are used to make
|glycerin for explosives, as well
as soap, paints, varnishes, and lac
Iquers. Food uses include butter,
lard, lard compounds, salad and
cooking oils and margarine.
BUYING AREAS DIVIDED
The agreement provides that the
United States shall be the exclu.
tsive purchaser Of fats, oils and oil
seeds in the Western Hemisphere
including the Caribbean Islands
with the exception of animal fats
in Argentina and Uruguay. and
also shall buy up copra in Tahiti
and all fighting French Pacific
Islands, and fats and oils in Portu.
guese Africa, Spanish Africa and
Liberia.
The United Kingdom will be the
exclusive buyer OF animal fats ir
Argentina and Uruguay, and fats
and oils in British countries out.

fighting French Africa and the
Belgian Congo.
Total United States production
of fats and oils for the year be.
ginning last July is estimated al
