Scrap Iron; Waste Fats
Included in Campaign

WASHINGTON, July Gov
|ernment officials drew plans today
for new nationwide salvageI
collection campaign which they
warned must bring in huge stores
Iof scrap iron and steel to prevent
a second shutdown of vital steel
furnaces.
War Production Chief Donald
M. Nelson, appealing to Americans
to contribute every piece OF scrap
available, disclosed that at one
time in recent months Is furnaces
had been inactive because they
lacked the needed scrap to mix
with iron ores to produce steel.
The drive will start July 13,
three days after conclusion OF the
rubber collection campaign, and
will include metals, waste fats and
in some communities-tin cans.
WORRIED OVER SITUATION
Nelson was particularly worried
about the steel scrap situation,
which he said at times had been
very desperate. In some COM
munities automobile graveyards
were combed TO keep the furnaces
supplied. he said. and during re-
cent weeks the situation improved
Temporarily with an increased
flow OF metal.
"The immensely Of the task
we face makes IL absolutely
necessary to step up the tempo
of our national salvage pro-
gram" Nelson declared. "Our
war production Is limited only
by the supply Of raw materials,
and scrap Is an important part
Of the raw materials supply.
This makes It clear that the
only way We can meet the re-
auirements Of war production Is
to collect every last bit of scrap
from every farm and home, and
from every commercial enter
prise and industry In the coun-
try"
ADS IN NEWSPAPERS
Private industry has already
subscribed S2,OO0,00o for news
paper, magazine and radio adver-
Itising to support the general
salvage drive. The iron and steel
Industry raised S1,500,000 of this
amount and glycerin producers
and associated concerns will pay
approximately 100000 for adver-
Using directed toward waste fats
collection.
Housewives will be asked to sell
waste fats to meat dealers, who
in turn will ship it to glycerin
producers for use in the manufac-
ture of explosives. Metal collec-
tons will flow through regular
trade channels.
Details of the tin can collection,
which will not apply to the whole
country, will be announced later.
NO TIME LIMIT
Some 1900 local and state sal
wage committees operating under
the WPB will take the collection
appeal into every home and fac
tory in the country. No time limit
was set on the drive. and Leasing
]. Rosenwald. chief of the WPB
bureau of industrial conservation
said the program would be con.
ltinuing effort.
"One Of the things we have
learned Is that no single scrap
drive I'm n community gets all
the scrap there Is" Rosenwald
said. "Not only are repeat drives
necessary, but experience shows
that q second and third drive
bring surprising results. Also.
the value of large number Of
salvage depots in speeding col
lections has been demonstrated

Little Steel
Fights Pay Raise
As Initiation Step
Bethlehem Chief Warns
Of Dreaded Spiral in
Costs If Clio Wins Boost

WASHINGTON. July ? tINS).
Chiefs Of Little Steel told the
war labor board that granting OF
a S1-a-day wage increase and the
closed shop, demanded by the
CLOS United Steel Workers.
would be unsound and dangerous.
Eugene G, Grace, president OF
Bethlehem Steel, and Edward l..
Ryerson, chairman of the board
of Inland Steel, asserted that the
wage increase, which would cost
an estimated $3.50, 100000 a year,
would set in motion an initiation
airy spiral and wreck the nations
economy. Grace's statement was
read by J. NJ. Larkin, Bethlehem
vice president.
MURRAY'S DEMAND
Go President Philip Murray
earlier had demanded the wage
increase for 100000 workers in
the plants of Bethlehem, Inland
and Republic Steel and the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Com
pany. and sharply criticized the
"crazy-quilt enonomic theories of
Leon Henderson. head of the
Office of Price Administration.
Grace. in his statement, told
WLB that the wage increase and
union shop demands "have direct
bearing on the cost OF living and
the threat of initiation"
"Granting of Them" he said,
''wouid be thoroughly bad--for
the company and Its employees,
and bad for the public.
'Tf imitation In to be pre-
vented, the cost Of living must
be held in check. Horizontal
wage increases which move
higher the entire broad wage
floor of hundreds of thousands
of workers throughout m en-
tire industry lead by grim logic
to demands for similar leveling
up of wages in other industries,
sharply higher living costs
then fresh demands for still
higher wages.
DREADED SPIRAL
THAT il the one sure way to
set In motion the dreaded In
hation spiral with Its aftermath
of disaster and suffering"
Ryerson told WLB the govern
ment would pay about 80 per
cent OF any wage increase, and the
effect of this upon the nations
burden of debt and upon the
entire war economy would be far
reaching.
"The impact Of the wage
boost upon the nation" he said,
"would be serious"
Murray charged that OPA had
initiated a campaign to combat
any wage increase for the workers
OF the nation regardless OF how
justified they might be-"
THE time and energy OF the
officials Of that agency" Muir
ray said, shave been primarily
directed against the case of this
union. The failure Of the OPA
TO attend to price control and
rationing until recently simply
added to the unjust burden
which the workers of the union
are now bearing"

 The crowds are indications enough that MT. DiVito, one of the states best known purveyors of modern dance music, is still "tops" in the music business in this section. In keeping with the times, MT. DVito has purchased a library of up-to- the- minute tunes from the Broad way shows, screen and radio that make you want to dance. Add to this, the beautiful multi-coloreo lighting effects which are featured in the newly redecorated and alter ated Temple hall and you have the reason why "the Temple" is where "boy meets girl to enjoy dancing in the most pleasant environment.

 LOU CEHRIC FILM
Gary Cooper POrtrays Baseball Idol in "The
 Pride of the Yankees"

Arainst the colorful but inciden- cal background of the great Amerl- can game of baseball, warmers state theater is currently present. anR one of the greatest real lie dramas of the past decade in "Ihe Pride of the Yankees" starring Cary Cooper as the late Lou Geh- EiK, American baseball idol.
 Although baseball forms the noiorful background of the picture, { that background Is merely 1ncl- dental to the human story of Geh- rig himself and his remarkable career, told with a wealth of de- tail and accuracy that makes the picture 8 genuine personal oocu- ment.
 The film deals with his rise from poverty to wealth and fame. It de- picts his life at home and in col- lege prior to poining the American League Ball club and carries on through his marriage and his url- timely and tragiS retirement from baseball as result of death sem tence imposed upon his by an be- Scure malady. Gehrig'S mating with Eleanor Twitchell makes a stlr- ring romantic tone to the drama.
 Teresa Wright plays Mrs. Geh- rig and Walter Brennan is seen as Sam Blake, sports writer and close friend of the GehrigS. Others in &he cast include Babe Ruth, Bill Dickey, Robert Bob" Musel of the baseball fraternity, as well as such popular film players as Virginia Gilmore, Pierre Watkin, Ernie Adams, Addison Richards, Harry Harvey and Spencer Charters. The dancing of VeloZ and Yolanda ana Ray Noble and his Orchestra figure in spectacular production number.
 Next in the States lineup of out standing productions is the hilar- ious comedy My Sister Eileen" CO., starring Rosalind Russell, Janet Blair and Brian Aherre.
 Based on the uproarius Broad- way comedy of two Columbus, Ohio, sisters battling for their careers and their honor in the jungles of Manhattan's Greenwich Village My Sister Eileen" is said to be TWICE as 1uStIOuS do 1AlO oCoSS ouS cess, and twenty times as hilarious no mean record for a motion pic ture whose theatrical predecessor has convinced more than three mil lion theater-goers in more than two solid years.

To 0utstrip Axis in
SYNTHETIC Rubber
PIons Call for Output
Of 10000 Tons AnnuoIIy
Within 18 Months
1y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Prsss.
Oil rubber and chemical COM
panies joined with the Government
today In 4 synthetic rubber produc-
ton program calling for five times
the combined ersatz output Of Ger
many and Italy-enough to make
the armed forces Independent Of the
Malaysian plantation.
As approved by President Roose-
velt and outlined by Jesse Jones,
Federal loan administrator, the
500 900 900 program, financed by
the r. F. c., provides for factories
which would reach a production rate
OF 100000 tons of artificial rubber
annually in l8 months.
With rubber stock on hand, Mr..
Jones said yesterday, the program
would be sufncient to supply all mill
tary and some civilian needs, assur-
ing such items as treads for the l20,-
600 tanks, and tires and self h-sealing
fuel tanks for the lbs, coo planes in
the 1912 and 1943 ordnance sched-
ules.
The tin outlook is pretty bright"
Mr.. Jones said. The first American
tin smelter, now being built at Texas
City, Tex, will start processing Bo-
livian ore in April Its 10000 tons a
year output will take up much OF the
slack resulting from cutting OF OF
supplies from Malay.
In the rubber program. the De-
fense Plants Corp. already had un-
der construction plants which would
increase the synthetic rubber output
of Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.,
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., B. F.
Goodrich Co. and United States
Rubber Co., to $4,000 tons annually,
as compared with a total synthetic
rubber production Of $4,000 tons In
l94l.
Ofacials of the rubber industry
said they believed the new program
announced by Mr. Jones called for
production of 400 900 tons a year in
addition to the output planned pre-
viously, making q total Of $4,000
tons a year. The present output Of
the German ersatz rubber industry
is 75,OOO tons a year and that Of
Italy is as 900 tons, according to best
available figures. Before the war 81
per cent of the worlds natural crude
rubber came from Malaysian
growers.
