 Washington. Forty million Amer ican homemakers are going to learn to scrap.
 The War Production Board now believes that getting in the house. hold scrap is womarl's job, and that without women's help the Uni- ted States will fall short of its goal of IT million tons by Christmas.
 Recruited to help do the job are ten women selected from high posi- lions in private industry because they are familiar with women's or ganization and activities. Mary White, head of Women's Activities in the Salvage campaign of WIPE. has put these ten recruits through an intensive four-day "cranaming" period and now has them ready to join local salvage committees. Mrs. White and her two assistants will swell the ranks, bringing the total to 13 "scrappers."
 FILMS, LECTURES TAUGHT "SCRAPPERS" THEIR JOB
 During the four days training in Washington, these 13 Scrappers have seen movies ranging from Walt Disney film urging housewives to save waste fats to short by Don- aid Nelson pleading for more scrap metal. They've heard addresses by WIPE, Army and Navy officials, had day and night sessions to hash it out" among themselves.
 These B women are thoroughly impressed with the seriousness of their job and also are aware of the fact that it's the toughest assign ment in mass education ever hand ed to so small a group. They have vowed to make it their business to see that no stone under which might lie an ounce of scrap if left ur1- turned.
