motor transport. Recently, a month
and a half after application was
filed, this war-born Government
agency replied that no vehicles were
available in Prince Georges pri-
ority classification.
The three buses requested, school
officials said, were to be used to
transport children in the Fort Wash
ington, Brandywine and Mount
Rainier Brentwood areas. These
areas are regarded as defense cen
ters.
j. U. Michaelis, acting assistant
superintendent Of schools, said
school buses are not bought as a
complete unit. The chassis is bought
first and then the body, he explained.
1t is his opinion that truck chassis
are available and that, If schools
were to obtain them, they at least
would be on the way toward getting
the complete buses.
Are Not requirements.
Mr.. Michaelis emphasized that the
buses requested were not to be re-
placements.
These buses are desperately
needed" he said. Some of the buses
we are using are 1884 models"
Recalling that commercial firms
able to prove they are essential to
public welfare are allotted trucks
through the o. D. r, Mr.. Michaelis
described children's safe transpor-
tation to school "as important as
anything in the war effort"
He said the case would be taken
before the o. D. T. appeals board.
Meanwhile, school children in the
county are getting on buses as early
as 7 am. And some of them are
forced to wait an hour and a half
after school for a bus to take them
home.

Metal Scrap
Increase
Imperative
Williams

"Steel plants in Washington
State face a serious shortage of
scrap metal which will hamper
production in the states own war
industries unless the rate of metal
salvage is increased by at least
1000 tons a month, declared w.
Walter Williams, chairman of the
Washington State Defense Coun-
Gil.
According to word from l.. G.
Knight, steel industry chairman
for the State Defense Councils
salvage committee, all sources
throughout the state shipped $4,000
tons of scrap metal to Puget Sound
mills in August. Capacity at that
time was 10000 tons of scrap a
month, so the mills dipped into
their stockpiles for the remain
ing 1000 tons.
. A new furnace going into oper-
alton at the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany plant in Seattle will add 49,
600 tons a year to the states
capacity, Knight said. Capacity
now is $4,000 tons per month; in
another month it will be $4,000
tons per month.
---s sSteckpiles Of the mills are only
half as big as the normal reserves
for this time of year." Knight said.
Unless salvage-metal shipments
increase quickly, we will have
shortage that will force mills to
operate far below capacity produc-
tion."
Meanwhile Gov. Arthur B. Lang
lie urged all citizens to pitch into

ing led by newspapers in coopera-
ton with salvage committees,
Automotive Safety Foundation
chairmen and school authorities.
MANY commodities already have
made remarkable records in the
salvage program" the Governor
said. But as our war industries
near their peak production, the
need for scrap metal continues to
increase. We must dig deeper and
work harder to keep local scrap
stockpiles growing and guarantee
that our steel mills will not have

of the six other warships already

GRATED on a cap for pipe bending.
AS a result of dissatisfaction with
wooden plugs used to hold sand
in pipe while pending, HolIar and
Jellison figured out a metal cap
to fit over the end of the pipe. The
cap is fitted with a plunger and
screw adjustment so that the plum
ger can be forced into the pipe,
holding the sand tightly packed
in the pipe. Thus, the slack caused
by sand grains melting and run
ming together when the pipe is
heated can be taken up. The re-
suit is much more perfect bends.
Saving of time is effected be-
cause the cap can be removed
quickly, while plugs sometimes
stick and are difficult to take out.
Also, plugs are good for only one
or two uses, while the cap is good
indefinitely. Caps also save time
in preparing the pipe for bending,
saving on each job half hour.

line is connected to the pipe to give
the necessary air pressure.

No Time For
Differences, Knox

Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox gave a significant address
to the American Legion session in
Kansas on September 10. Follow
ing are vital paragraphs from that
speech:
II speak to you for the fighting
men and for their comrades, the
wounded, the missing and the
dead. And from all of them j
bring a message, twOfOld mes
sage to you, their comrades of an
older war. Work as you have
never worked before to make our
country strong in unity - that
unity which alone can bring us
victory, and second, see to it that
when victory mas been won we
use it to build a world in which
the next generation will not again
be called on TO pay in blood for
the mistakes of their elders.
This is an about war. 1t is a
war of all America against an
enemy that would destroy every
thing that America stands for
Until the tocsin of victory sounds
we must be one people with but
single aim, the utter devastating
defeat of everything the Axis
represents.
There can be no division within
our own ranks on questions which
relate to winning the war. Par
tisanship must never be permitted
to intervene in the decision on
questions that, relate to the sue
cess of our men under arms.
Selfish personal ambition must be
foresworn for the duration.
1--WE have but one leader, the
Commander in CHIEF or our Army
and our Navy, the President of
the United States. His arms must
be upheld, his actions must be sup
ported.
Some of us may have differed
with him in the Gays before the
war on domestic questions.
This is no time to pursue those
differences.

mediately by Leon Henderson, admin
istrator Of the Office Of Price admin
istration.
I'm normal times, the offering Of
bonuses or other forms Of premium at
tract business away from competing
buyers usually forecasts a general
raise in prices for crude. Under war
conditions this type Of buying can
only serve to contribute to an infla-
tionary spiral.

pay no more than the prices that pre-
vailed on Nov. z, 194l. applied to post
ed prices. The effect Of bonus offers
or other deals which bring the total

posted prices must be considered as an
evasion Of my request. ask all crude
purchasers to adhere to the posted
prices and cease all premium offers"

PRODUCERS ARE
UP IN THE AIR
ON PRIORTTIES

A showdown throughout the oil fields
of the nation has resulted from new
priority orders, not because Of enforce
ment of new restrictions but because
none understands them, chief Of all
the supply companies which are afraid
to sell drilling equipment and casing.
The newest order, following the rules
that no limitation was to be placed on
the furnishing of supplies for wells in
40-acre spacing and for wildcats, calls
for the consent of adjacent property
owners before a new well can be
drilled The restriction prohibits the
opening of new oil or gas well with
out the consent Of "all separate prop
erty interests" within q 40-acre area.
This is supposed to clarity the 40-acre
order.
Oil trade publications reflect the
confusion throughout the United
States. Robert Ingram, writing the
Oklahoma field report in the Oil g.
Gas Journal of Tulsa, commented:
Effect of OPM Order MIST regulating
well spacing was noticeable in Okla
homa last week only in uncertainty
among operators about plans for the
future" He discussed Oklahoma's law
on well spacing which provides that
wells be drilled in the center of units
which are to be Of not less than 10
acres. Since the law has been con-
strued to permit 20-acre triangular
spacing, it is believed the commission
Gould permit 20-acre triangular spac
ng with provision that every second
.0-acre units be skipped 1t was
believed the regulation on wide spac-
ng might not apply to fields already
developed, but pending interpretations,
he cases we're delayed"
The new Preference Rating order
o-98 gave the vast bulk of material
or the production division an A-8 rat
ng, which will permit it to be OBJ
aimed by users on the same basis as
t Is obtained by supply houses.
An Az rating Is given material for
Irilling new wells for exploratory pur-
oseS.

SECOND GASSER
COMPLETED FOR
kelvin SUPPLY

Big West OIL Co. this week brought
in it's second gasser on the east edge
Of Cut Bank field. to provide an aug

the Cut Bank sand, variously estimated
from 2,250,O00 to 100000 cubic feet
per day and a rock pressure of 700
pounds It had Sunburst sand from
2O90 to 2100 carrying 100000 cubic
feet Of gas. The Cut Bank sand has
been frequently absent in wells in this
area. The Cut Bank sand was the main
gas horizon. from 2125 to 2154.
It is reported that Big West may
drill third well with the intention Of
going on down to the top Of the Madi-
son lime. where high gravity oil pro-
duction Is thought likely. There IS
growing belief in the industry that
the entire area between Kelvin and
Cut Bank field viii produce oil at the
top Of the lime, wherever a local struc-
tural condition is found Indications
of such a condition have been devel-
oped in the drilling Of the Big West
wells, it Is understood.
NO new wells were started this week
and there were only six active oper-
atoms, despite favorable weather fol- |
lowing the severe storm Of last week |
The reason for no new wells Is chiefly /
the priorities problem which is under /
