stood their ground. Under the
leadership of the Maccabeans thew
fought what was probably the
first campaign of attrition, and
then by sheer military genius
drove the Greeks from their
homeland.
The Old Technique Still Works
Today, again, the Jews are
fighting-not in the cave-pitted
mountains of Judea, not in the
dismal wilderness along the Dead
Sea, but on far-flung fronts in the
greatest armies of the world and
as members of guerrilla bands in
countries occupied by the enemy.
Too little has been said about
the Jewish partisans battling the
Nazis all over Europe. The sIaugh-
ter of the aged, the weak and
helpless Jews is continually being
reported. But with the celebra-
ton of past victories, it is time
to take notice of the vengeance
that the strong able Jews of our
own day are wreaking for the
murder of the helpless and the
Dissertation of temples.
AS the Maccabees fell upon
Greek supply trains winding along
narrow pathways near ancient
Jerusalem, so Jews today watch
from the heights of the Carpath-
ians and the Transylvanian Alps
to ambush German supply col
umns moving toward the Russian
front. In the Polish woods Jews
escaped from concentration or
labor camps Turk with knives, old
rifles and homemade grenades to
surprise Nazi patrols.

aluminum-for-War program is ove1
the top, producing 100000 pounds
in excess of requirements every
three months.
Arthur H. Bunker, director ot
the aluminium and magnesium di
vision of the Wal Production BOARD
today unfoldcd the hitherto secret
story of cdigious growth from q
pre-war midget to an industrial!
giant.
Highlights cf his report:
When the rearmamen' program
began IN mid 1910, the U. S. pro.
duced a limited amount of alum.
mum unsuited to war needs, and
almost no magnesium.
Fabricating equipment could not
be converted TO military produc.
ton, and billion-dollar fabricat.
ing plant system was built from
the ground up
Plane production was measured
IN dozens per month; in October
$500 units were produced, each
utilizing light metals.
Bunker estimated the following
production increases for 1943, as
compared with 1899: domestic
sheets, 700 per cent; aluminium rod
and wire, 1900 per cent extruded
shapes, 1000 per cent: aluminium
forgings, 4,500 per cent.
Aluminium supplies for the fourth
quarter of 1913 Werer set at 871, 200
900 pounds, almost 100000 pounds
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1943-11-03

! in excess of the 774,OOO, 900 pounds
required.
Scrap aluminium salvaged for re-
smelling now amounts to 100000
coo pounds year, double the total
pre-war U. S. production of pri-
mary aluminium.
Employment in the industry has
grown from 10000 in 1889 to 200,-
900 in 1913.
Present annual requirements of
the industry include: 100000 tons
OF petroleum coke for furnace cleo.
trodes; 100000 tons of soda ash;
go, 600 tons of sulfuric acid 1,50O,-
900 yards of filter cloth; 100000
900, kiloWatt hours of electricity
a year.
BunF er reported that the labor
supply is almost the only remain
ing production headache in h e
light metals picture. He estimated
that 67,25 additional workers are
required in the last half of 1913,
new workers to allow for turnover
and losses to the armed forces.
Bunker sad the production pro.
gram was so successful that WPB
executives had to wrestle with an
over-supply problem go days ago,
when aluminium scrap was at least
10, 600, 600 pounds in excess of re.
ouirements.
Since then Russia has agreed to
take one-third of it's fourth-quarter
aluminium requirements in such
secondary metal: and secondary
netal is being used in place of
some former metal substitutes.
