Scrap Iron Drive Held
In Benton City Area

BENTON CITY-At the regular
meeting of the Kiona-Benton Com
munity Club Monday evening, plans
were made to hold scrap iron
drive next week. It is hoped sutfl-
Gent iron can be secured from the
farmers and others in the commun-
ity to make up a complete carload
to he shipped direct to the Bethle-
hem smelters on the coast. Accord
ing to the plans made Monday eve
ming, two days, Saturday and Sun
day, February 7th and 9th, have
been designated for the drive during
which trucks donated for the pur-
pose will be used to pick up large
and small amounts of iron and load
ed on board the railroad car for
shipment direct to the smelters. The
money from the sale of hte iron will
be paid to the Community Club to be
used for making necessary repairs on
the community hall, which unless
are made soon it is possible the hall
will have to be abandoned.
If every family in the Kiona-Ben-
ton community contributes an aver
age of 500 pounds of scrap iron, it is
estimated that approximately 81
tons will be secured for shipment
Everyone is asked to take inventory
of their worn out machinery ano
tools and have them ready by Sat-
urday of next week. The need fol
this metal is so acute that unless siz-
able quantities can be supplied to the
smelters within the next six or eight
weeks, several of the steel mills In

Doing Nothing to
Use Farm Products for
Making Rubber, Norris

WASHINGTON, July G.
(UP)-Sen. George w. Nor
ris, Ind, Neb., in a heated
exchange with War Produc-
ton Board Chairman Donald
M. Nelson, today accused him of
doing nothing" to use agricultural
commodities in an effort to increase
the nations rubber supply.
Norris made the charges before
senate agriculture subcommittee
after Nelson had criticized and OBJ
jected to legislation ecommended
by members which would establish
a rubber supply agency. The agency
would have charge of producing a
national stockpiie of synthetic rub
Der made from farm and forest
products.
This is very unfair and untrue
statement" Nelson replied angrily
to Norris charge. Il hold you in
such deep respect as senator that
l don't like to have you make state
ments like that about me and the
organization of which am head"
Nelson told the committee he felt
the proposed legislation would in
terfere with, rather than help" the
synthetic rubber program. He as
serted that construction of plants
to use farm commodities in produc-
ing butadiene and other types of
synthetic rubber would neceSsitate
the use of critical metals which
would have to be taken away from
