rows surpluses, Sidney kirkpatrick,
editor of Chemical and Metallurgi-
cal Engineering, told the Washing
ton professional chapter of Alpha
Chi Simga at dinner meeting last
night in the Lee Sheraton Hotel.
Many of the things being de-
veloped under war planning, he
explained. will have a potent effect
on postwar economy. AS an ex-
ample, he said that enough alumni
mum will be available after the war
to rebuild every railroad passenger
car and it will be so cheap that
it can be used in motor car con-
struction.
AT the same time, he warned that
the chemists of the Nation would
have to take further steps to mobil-
ize their research outside of ortho-
dox channels. Pointing out that re-
sources can be a liability when not
accompanied by resourcefulness, he
said the Germans had substituted
research for resources, producing
ersatz materials with which they
made themselves SO strong that they
now control most of the vital raw
materials.

First '43 Auto Tag
Applications 10 Be
Mailed Out Tomorrow
Motorists Will Retain
Same Number Plates,
Affix Small Metal Tob

Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer announced yesterday that the
first group of 1943 automobile license
plate applications will be placed in
the mail tomorrow
In line with wartime efforts to
conserve critical materials Mr.. Van
Duzer said, Washington motorists
will retain their present tags and
will receive small metal tabs with
serial number and expiration date
to be attached to the 1912 plates.
1t is estimated, he added, that the
District will save 80 tons of steel
under this plan.
By the end of the month, Mr..
Van Duzer said. all new tag appli-
cations for motor vehicles now reg
istered will have been mailed.
"Over-the-counter' sales will begin
March I in room 1000, Municipal
Building, 301 c street NV.
Because of the new procedure, car
owners will be required to return
their 1912 registration cards with
applications for the 1943 tabs.
There will be no charge this year
for mailing out the tabs and, as a
time-saving measure, Mr.. Van Duzer
urged motorists to take advantage
of the mailing system.
Newcomers applying for 1943 tags
on or after March l must first take
their cars to one of the two District
motor vehicle inspection stations
located at Tenth and F. streets S.W.,
and Mount Olivet road and West
Virginia avenue NE. They will ap-
ply at Room 1157, Municipal Center
Building, for title and new plates,
presenting proof of ownership Of the
vehicle to be registered.
Mr.. Van Duzer asked motorists to
take special care of their present
tags because they may have to last
long time" In the event of loss or
damage sufficient to make the pres
ent tags illegible, there is a limited
supply Of replacements on hand, but
we can't guarantee how long the
supply will last, Mr. Van Duzer said.
The post Office will not forward
applications to persons who have
changed their addresses and have
failed to notify the traffic director.
Complete details on methods of
obtaining 1943 tags will be presented
on the radio program, Capital
Motoring" over Station WINK at
8:05 pm Thursday by Howard F.
Wentworth, chief Of public rela-
tions of the department.
