new PROCEDURE
IN PRIORITIES
EXCEPTIONS

New procedure for filing applica-
tions for exceptions under Conserva-
ton Order M-68 was explained by the
Office of Petroleum Co-ordinator.
Under this procedure, it was stated
by Deputy Co-ordinator Ralph K.
Davies, three copies of the application
should be sent directly to the Director
of Production, Office of Petroleum
Co-ordinator, New Interior Bldg,
Washington, D. G.
A fourth copy Of the application
should be mailed or delivered to the
OPC district office at Denver, at 421
U. S. National Bank Bldg.
Mr.. Davies explained that the change
was made to expedite the handling Of
requests for exceptions. Formerly, op-
orators were required to send all four
copies Of the applications to the WASH
ington office. AS a result, time was
lost while the Washington office, in
turn, forwarded one copy to the dis
trict office
I'VE want the industry to take adj
vantage Of all the shortcuts possible
under the new system of filing apph-
cations for exceptions" Mr.. Davies
said
object Of sending three copies to
Washington and one to the district
office directly is to speed up OPC's aid
to industry. The new system viii per-
NIT field and Washington offices to
analyze the same request simultane-
ously. When the district offices COM
ment Is received in Washington, the
application can then receive prompt
consideration"
This procedure applies to all three
application forms for exceptions under
M-68. Form 214-a Is used by oper-
ators applying for an exception for an
entire pool or drilling program; form
2l4-b for an exception for an indi-
vidual lease, property or well, and
form 214-c for an exception for a
cycling plant or a representing plant.

IRON IN
CONCENTRATES OF
CHROMITE ORES

SALT LAKE CTTY-A new chemical
process which supplements present
methods Of concentrating chromite ore
and sands has been discovered and
viii greatly improve the nations do
nestle supply Of the steel-alloying
metal
DR.. r. S. Dean, chief engineer of
the Metallurgical division Of the
United States bureau Of mines, said
the discovery was a boon towards de-
veloping a domestic industry.
He pointed out that In the past the
United States imported chromium from
Australia, the Philippine islands and
Africa Those sources are cut off by
war.
Beach sands from Coos county, Ore
gon, and chromite ore deposits near
Columbus. Mont, are destined to pro-
duce chromium for the nations war
industries through development of the
new process, Dean said
The bureau of mines engineer said
the sands and ore deposits, all low
grade. have been concentrated for the
Defense Plant Corp. on a is to l.
ratio of chromium to iron. This is be-
low the necessary metallurgical grade
for processing. The concentrates must
have a 3 to l ratio of chromium to
iron to be satisfactory for manufacture
of ferro-chromium.
The new chemical process win bring
the chromium to iron ratio from the
substandard is to to the necessary
8 to /.
Large quantities of undesirable iron
are removed through the new process.
1t is to be instituted as an additional
processing step at plants at Port Ok
ford, Ore, and in Saltwater county,
Montana, to produce a satisfactory
concentrate suitable for
smelling. The result will be ferro-
after smelling.
Stainless steel is Is percent chro-
MUM 1t is used in tool steel, for
armor plate and in other steels. !

scene to examine the old motor. At
tempts to start the motor disclosed
sparks in the rotor Examination
showed that the bolts holding the brass
squirrel cage rotor bars TO the copper
end rings were loose. These loose con-
nections increased the rotor resistance
and the result was about the same as
q badly worn clutch In your automo-
bile. That is, for very light loads your
automobile would move but II you tried
a hard pun you would stall
The old rotor was removed and all
Of the bars through the rotor were
brazed to the end rings in order TO
effect a permanent repair. Some OF
the rotor bars were loose In the iron
rotor core and these were frightened
also by inserting thin insulation wedges
to take up the slack The entire repair
was made for approximately 10 per-
cent OF the cost Of motor replace
ment.
The extreme need for strategic
metals Is evidenced by the recent order
requiring us to turn In an old shaving
cream or tooth paste tube when we
buy these commodities. We should all
join In our Drive for Victory by con-
serving everything that viii contribute
to increased armament production. So,
If you suspicion" any Of your motors
of having rheumatism defective rotor,
constipation (gummed-up beartngs),
fallen arches worn bearings), dan
druff (dirt in the winding), or other
ailments, get busy and prevent COM
plete failure by timely remedy. Maybe
old Doc Kilowatt can prescribe a cure
for your ailing motors, so how about
sending him a note describing the
symptoms of the ailment.

Gold Mines to
Be Deprived On
Ponder Supply

WASHINGTON Explosives and ex-
plosives equipment we're added to the
list Of mine operating supplies placed
on a very high priority rating by the
war production board.
Mines producing more than 80 per-
cent of their dollar output In gold
and silver, unless they also produce
substantial amounts Of lead, zinc and
other critical materials, are not in
Guided in the amended order, WPB
officials said.
WPB said the amended order was
issued to assure deliveries Of explosives
and equipment to mines which have
not always been able to obtain them
because of the lower priority rating
in effect
The priority applications of mines
producing more than 30 percent Of gold
and silver, as well as strategic miner
ais, will be decided individually.

Manganese, Zinc
And Lead Output
Increases Rapidly

Metals Reserve Co.'S progress IN de-
veloprnent of manganese in Montana is
reported by Jesse H. Jones, secretary Of
commerce, as follows:
Anaconda Copper Mining Co. now
is producing for Metals Reserve Co.
high grade manganese nodules from
its beneficiation plant at the rate of
$4,000 short tons per annum and is
making plans for increased production
under its contracts to deliver to Metals
Reserve Co. Arrangements are being
made for construction of a concen-
trating plant in the Philipsburg area. !"
Taking up other metals, without
reference particularly to the state,
Jones said, regarding lead, which Is
produced in many western states:
Arrangements have been made to
pay a premium Of 2A cents pound
on over-quota production Of lead for
% years from Feb. l, 1912. Substantial
stimulation of small mine production
may be expected to result from the
premium price of 9.25 cents a pound,
which is in excess of the highest av-
erage price level for lead in so years"
He said expansion of domestic zinc
smelling facilities has been effected by
Metals Reserve Co. through contracts
for the purchase Of production or
through agreements to make necessary
concentrate productions available. IN
der a purchase agreement, he said, the
Copper Mining Co., In Mon
tana, would produce $4,000 additional
tons annually.
Through arrangements for conttn-
ued supplies from foreign sources and
through stimulus Of domestic zinc pro-
iuction by the payment Of premium
Of "a cents a pound for 'over-quota'
concentrate supplies should
be adequate to utilize existing smelter
facilities and those made available by
the program outlined above" Jones
said.

Do you have a squirrel cage induc-
ton motor that has been slowing down
lately like an old man with rheuma-
tism2 Chances are that you don't, be-
cause the manufacturers have built
integrally cast rotors for many years
and they seldom cause trouble. How
ever, you may have a few old-time
motors around that may some day give
you trouble, so why not expose yourself
for few minutes to Montana Kilo-
watts preachtn's. In Montana, as In
Missouri, seeing is believing" so an
actual case viii be cited.
A IS horsepower squirrel cage induc-
ton motor Of approximately 1910 vim
tage was used to drive line shaft.
The motor was started with a reduced
voltage starter. After many years of
faithful service the motor gradually
lost its power and would slow down
under a heavy load. Eventually, the
motor would not bulge the line shaft
when the starter was thrown in the
starting position. BY throwing the
starter to the running position, the
motor would slowly start the line shaft
and eventually come up to almost full
speed without load The speed would
drop when load was added. The owner
considered the motor past its useful
life and had made plans to replace
it at considerable expense, because Of
necessary foundation and incidental
changes in addition to the motor re-
placement

For Lead and Zinc
Exceeds SUPPLIES

United States zinc smelter capacity
in 1871 was $4,000 tons annually and
viii be increased to 100000 tons an
nually in 1912. The problem now viii
be to obtain sufficient domestic and
foreign concentrates to attain 100 per-
cent operation.
The same applies to lead. The lead

Favoritism Charge
Made Against WPB
Lumber Official
Wood Substitutes
Given Preference,
Small Dealers Soy

A charge of "favoritiSm" OH the
part OF an assistant to Chairman
Donald M. Nelson of the War
Production Board to push wood
substitutes was filed today with
a congressional committee.
Paul A. Rasmussen, st. Paul, rep
resenting the Independent Lumber
Dealers Association of Minnesota,
informed Senate Labor subcom-
mittee holding hearings on man
power problems that Ben Alexan-
der, president of the Masonite Corp.
and WPB lumber division official,
was dramatically opposed to the
welfare Of the lumber interests,
especially the small dealers"
He explained that masonite, man.
ufactured by Mr.. Alexander's COM
pany, was made OF Mississippi sugar
cane pulp.
Mr.. Rasmussen said Mr.. Alexan-
der had informed him the WPB was
opposed to creating a lumber stock
pile and that it would be absolutely
necessary to liquidate a large num-
Der of lumber dealers"
Lumber Substitutes Ordered.
The Minnesotan said 638 pony
mills" in his State were now oper-
ating SO per cent of capacity because
or WPB's failure to approve
United States Forest Service pro-
gram submitted last July.
He said his charge was based on
information he received from MIR,
Alexander and added that the DELAY
looks very much as if this is being
done at the expense of the lumber
interests and to the advantage of
manufacturers of wood substitutes"
The witness read into the record
a report signed by WPB officials
which stated all war housing struc-
lures shall be laid-up masonry and
other lumber substitute exterior wall
construction, except in those areas
where masonry materials are not
obtainable'
Failure properly to use available
manpower for logging and sawmill
operations has created wholly I'M
necessary shortage of lumber, Mr..
Rasmussen declared
Sees Independents Hit.
"And what must be most risturb-
Ing to every patriotic citizen in our
nation" he went on, sis the evidence
that certain influential elements
within the WPB setup on lumber
seem consciously and actively to
encourage the apparent determine
ton of the monopoly lumber inter-
ests to eliminate independent opera
tors altogether and even to wipe out
thousands of independent lumber
dealers"
Nobody examining the facts can
escape this conclusion and the
further arduous conclusion that the
WPB policy is not only detrimental
to our war effort almost to the point
OF disaster but is also hostile to the
