Search For Industrial Tanalite Now Being Made

mile area, but they report that it's like hunting for the proverbial needle in rock streWn furnace, not unlike parts of Arizona. The inaccessibility of the Brazilian sertao adds to the difficulty. Ii is all but impossible to get heavy machinery into the country and the ore out. It is being done so effectively that Brazil is produc- ing now 52 per cent of the worlds tantalite and since Australia and South Africa are the only other known sources, the Allies have it all.
 At present nearly all the work is done by hand. More than 5000 Brazilian natives are employed in the mines, picking out the ore, hand-crushing and hand-washing it in sluices similar to those our early gold miners used in the west and Alaska. Water for the washing, which separates the heavy mineral from its neighbors, has to come from deep wells and often has to be lugged for miles in casks on the backs of burros.
 It's by burro express. too, that the sacked tantalite has to be taken out. At Natal, U. s. mili- tary transport planes wait impa- tiently to pick up the mineral.
 It takes 5000 tons of ore to pro- duce one ton of tantalite and al though the natives receive only 30 cents a day, mine owners are hard put to make a profit. Every time it appears the war is nearing its end, the tantalite producers want to quit and turn to more profit able and less troublesome metals.

CEILING PRICES ON FRESH VEGETABLES

Effective February 18th, fresh eggplant, green peppers and cu- cumbers, heretofore uncontrolled, have been placed under price regulation in he States. This ac- tion automatically puts these i'm ported vegetables under price con- trol in Alaska, Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann. Alaska OPA Director, announced today. Commencing February 18th, wholesalers and retailers who make sales of these commodities mus not charge more than the maximum price permitted by Maximum Price Regulation No. l94, namely price determined by adding to he landed cost the dollar markup which the seller took in the base period, November 7th-December 6, l941.
 O'her imported fresh vege- tables under price control are snap beans, cabbage, carrots, let tuce, onions, green peas, potatoes, spinach and tomatoes. Merchants who made no sales of these com modities during the base period, ] or who have kept no base period records and cannot otherwise show what their base period nark-up was. should file an ap- plication with OPA for a price before making any sales, Mrs. Hermann cautioned.
 Application forms can be ob- tained at all OPA Field Offices and War Price and Rationing Boards.

By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON - Over at the Office of the Coordinator of h. ter-American Affairs, they are piling up file on one of the amazing industrial stories of this war. Much of it is a military se- cret, but some of it can be told now. It's the search for tantalite in the scorched mountains of northeastern Brazil.
 Few people ever heard of tan talite. It was virtually unknown in 1927, when if was commercial ly mined for the first time. It wasn't until 1940 that it became 3 vital war mineral, sought by every nation. However, since our enemies don't know to what use we are putting it, very little can be said.
 Tan'alite is well named, having the same root as the word tanta- lize. It is an acid-proof member of the vanadium family and al- though it is sometimes referred to as black gold, it's more pre- cious.
 It is hard to find, deposits of it being buried with other min- erals in the sun-scorched rocky ridges or sub-surface alluvial de- posits of Brazil's tree-barren "sertao" dnterior). Once found, it is tantalizing to mine. What seem to be bonanzas peter out before they have produced a ton and often deposits, that hardly seem worth mining, develop into true bonanzas.

ENGINEERS CITED
BY COL. KNIGHT

In a George Washington Day ad-
dress, Lieut.. Col. John T. Knight,
Jr.. district engineer. himself a
businessman in private life, told
the Rotary club Tuesday of the
parallels between operation of a
district engineer office and opera
ton of an industry, and called
finally for honest to : goodness
American leadership in all post
war efforts.
Col Knight spoke the business
mans language. He explained in
understandable terms the necessi-
ty for the mass of procedures and
records Which government
branch must tolerate, but which
are largely foreign to an average
concern. He cited the step by step
build-up of the local engineer set
up as being similar to the estab-
lishment of any construction en-
cheering firm. He told of the
problems of securing materials
and training personnel that char
acterize any business today.
Knight had high praise for the
'oldtimers" in the Wilmington dis
trict office, who, he said, had fur
nished an efficient nucleus for a
setup that has expanded tremend-
ously, and has been charged with
the handling of hundreds of con-
tracts monthly since the emergen-
cy began.
He also praised the new meth
DDS initiated by the Army to i'm
prove and conserve its engineer
ing personnel, methods which se
said had been borrowed from bust
ness practices. He declared that
all the new systems suggested
have been given fair trial in the
Wilmington office, and that by and
large they have proved most sue
cessful."
"As 1 visualize it, gentlemen,
Col. knight concluded, 1.-The most
important thing to consider in
postwar planning is development
of honest to goodness American
leadership. There is nothing wrong
with our country that cannot be
remedied by more trained lead
ers. And remember, leaders are
trained, not born"
Knight was introduced by J..
Frank Hacker, who had managed,
without the engineers knowledge,
to resurrect his Army and civilian
record. Col. Knight, graduate of
West Point, h o ! d S the Distin-
guished Service Gross, the Purple
Heart, the Silver Star and was
cited by his superiors for leading
an overseas group in the last war
which without exception, and to
a man, acquitted itself with gal
lantry."
