spent only eight hours for their
eight hours pay, eating on COM

Ordnance
Unit Here
Expanding

The United States Armys De-
troit ordnance district. the driving
force behind the stupendous output
of war materials in the Lower
Peninsula, is the largest unit Of Its
kind in America, in every respect.
When Hitler's hordes smashed
into Poland in September. 1889.
the district had three employees,
one soldier and two civilians.
housed in an obscure corner OF the
Federal Building. On May JIG, Its
workers numbered $500.
STATIONED IN PLANTS
Approximately one half Of this
force is scattered over Is floors
of the National Bank Building and
fills one full floor of the Union
Guardian Building. The remainder
is in the field, stationed at the
various plants.
Since January 1, last the NUM-
Der of employees has grown from
1900. The increas in that month
alone was 100 per cent.
From a comparatively negligible
amount of business prior to the
war, the district contracts grew
in value from S182. SOC. 600 in
1941, to s., 600, 000, 600
early this month.
Col. r. z. Crane, deputy district
chief of the district. and one OF the
three original employees said that
in the week ended April "a, last
payments for ornaments in the
district totaled $24 ,657 1867, twice
the cost of constructing the
Ambassador Bridge.
OTHER BIG OUTLAWS
These expenditures by the dis
trict in no way represent all pay
ments for ornaments in the
Detroit industrial area. In addition
there are immensive OUTLAWS for
naval ornaments, airplanes and
other supplies which are not army
ordnance, and sub contract work
handled by Detroit plants for firms
outside the Detroit district.
1t is estimated that the equiva-
lent of a 50-car train load of
munitions leaves the Detroit dis
ltrict bound ultimately for the
battle front every "A hours. In
lcluded in these shipments are all
the tools of fighting from helmets
to tanks.
Mrs. Josephine Mckenzie, who
functioned as secretary to the old
triumvirate. remains an important
cog in the new and expanded ma
chine.

district is looking for inspectors.

GOLD MINERS FREED
FOR OTHER WORK

In order to make manpower
available for mining operations
more essential to the war pro-
gram. an order requiring gold
mines to cease operations at the
earliest possible date and to
stop breaking out new ore w
Oct, IS was issued last week by
the War Production Board IN
Washington.
The order covers all mines
from which gold is produced
except those producing subStan-
tia amounts Of other metals
needed for war use. Exempted
from the close-down order are
small mines. Lode mines which
produced less than 1900 tons Of
commercial ore in 19A1, and
placer mines which treated less
than 1000 cubic yards of mater
ial in 1941, are exempted, al
though they may not hereafter
produce or treat more than 100
tons of ore or 100 cubic yards OF
material a month.
For the larger mines, the order
provides that all operations
must stop within 60 days, except
the minimum necessary to keep
buildings, machinery and equip
ment in repair and working in
safe condition.
WPB estimates that 200 to 800
mines, most Of them in the
West, will be affected, but that
all the labor made available by
closing the gold mines will come
from less than so mines.
Concurrent with issuance OF
the order, Paul v. McNutt,
| chairman of the War Manpower
| Commission, announced gold
miners will be given positive
and immediate" aid in finding
work in copper and other vital
non-ferrous industries.
Transportation expense for
