Chairman Donald M. Nelson
of the War Production Board
last night gave Henry J. Kaiser
a letter authorizing the Pacific
Coast shipbuilder to submit a
report showing engineering
plans, facilities and materials to
be used in building 500 Mars type
cargo planes.
If Mr.. Kaiser's report shows con-
struction of the lotion flying boats
would not interfere with the combat
plane program, Mr.. Nelson said, it
is expected that contract for the
construction OF the planes will be
negotiated"
Not 4 Letter Of Intent.
The letter was not a letter of
intent" which is valid Govern
ment commitment for the start Of
production. Friday Mr.. Nelson said
q letter of intent was being pre-
pared, conditional on Mr.. Kaiser's
ability to carry out the project with
out cutting into bomber or ether
warplane output.
The letter which actually was
given Mr.. Kaiser carried consider
ably less force, and it did not men
ton the Navy as the agency for
which the planes actually would
be built, although this was the
original program.
Of11cial sources, although refusing
to be quoted by name, indicated
the Navy had baked at the plan

hundred and fifty dollars, re-
spectively, as a result of a fight

Give Your Boy
A Chance : Bring
In The Scrap

harvest" scrap iron, steel, rub
Der and other materials now USE
less on their farms and turn it
in for war use in special drive
beginning about September 10th
and Dickinson County will have
a ''crap week" on Sept. IA to 10.
This drive is part of national
gathering-in of the materials for
making ships and tanks, guns
and gas masks.
Virginia merchants who sell
farm implements will take a lead
ing part in seeing farmers and in
helping them concentrate their
scrap for shipment. All details
will be in the hands of people
known in the community where
they; will work.
To supply our fighting men.
with the bombs, bayonets, guns,
gas masks, hand grenades and
other fighting weapons they need
the American people must gath
er millions of tons Of additional
scrap material. Broken or dis
carded cultivators, hay rakes,
plows, harrows, hoes, shovels and
any and all scrap metal should
be gathered up. They will be sent
to factories to be melted down
and made into depth charges, air
plane motors, knives for COM
mandos and other fighting equip
ment.
Unless millions of tons of iron
and steel are turned in, as the
chairman of the War Production
Board has pointed out, some
steel mills will be forced to stop
operating. This has happened in
the past. Then the ships, guns
and tanks necessary for our
fighting men will not be produc-
ed. This scrap collection is meant
to build up stockpiles big enough
to last the steel mills through the
winter months when the weather
makes it impossible for most of
them to get scrap.
In addition to scrap iron and
steel, many sorts of materials are
needed. Since the Japanese have
seized 80 per cent of the worlds
rubber supply, it is necessary
that every ounce of scrap rubber
in the United States be turned
in for use by our fighting men
and by those who back them at
home. Rubber from discarded
tires, hose, Wornout boots, rub
Der gloves and aprons can be US
ed for planes, gun carriages, gas
masks, soldiers equipment, as
well as made into tires to keep
our mechanical forces rolling
Back your boy in the army by
bringing in the scrap!
