Steel Men Assert

Low Point

New York. Sept 24-AP-The
need for metal scrap today was
described as truly critical by
steel men who said this country
had stopped living on its metal
TAT and now must dip back 40
years for steel and iron junk.
The statements came as this ma
tons newspapers more than l.
600 have pledged their help-as-
sumed leadership in the drive TO
collect the scrap lying around
American homes, farms, factories
and buildings.
MANY millions OF tons Of iron
and steel scrap must be collected
If the tremendous tonnage OF steel
needed in the nations war efforts
are TO be produced" said Eugene
r. Gilcc. president of Bethlehem
Steel Corporation
Steel men estimated they would
need to pile up at least Il million
tons OF scrap between now and
Jan /. when war production is eN-
pected to reach its peak. Monthly
consumption OF scrap now is run
ming al about 4 millions tons, the
greatest in history but still not

Because scrap collection was
tagging badly the government
asked newspapers for the next

Taylor Seeks
Papal Support

Washington. Sept. 2i-INS-The
support Of Pope Plus XII for the
better world order which the
American government hopes to see
established after this war today
is being sought by Myron c. Taylor,
President Roosevelt's sp5 cial en-
yoy to the Vatican.
Responsible sources In Washing
ton said that the main purpose Of
Taylor's special mission to the Va
tican is TO explain this country's
War and peace aims to the Pope
with view to securing the sup
port Of His Holiness for those OBJ
jectives when victory has been won.
The mass deportation of Jewish
refugees from France and the
plight of the conquered peoples Of
Europe generally may also be feur-
ing in the Vatican talks, it was
said
However Taylor's main object is
to outline to the Pope the Ameri-
can governments plans for helping
70 rchabilitata the world and re1
establish International order under
law after the Axis nations have
been defeated
This is the first time that Taylor
has had an opportunity TO explain
America S position to His Holiness
since this country's entry into the
war Taylor's last visit to the Watt
can was in September 1914
President Roosevelt's action In
sending Taylor to the Pope at this
time to define Americas war and
peace aims is believed to have two
purposes
THE hope that the Vatican will
not support The peace offensive
which il is anticipated Germany
may launch this winter.
To give His Holiness an opt
portunity to study Americas aims
in the hope he will support this
country posfwar plans.
