DR.. Frank X. Schoenfeld. techni-
cal director of the chemical d.
vision Of the b. +. Goodrich Co.
Among the possible new post
war developments cited by Or.
Schoenfeld were hundreds OF
rubbers and materials with rub
ber-hke properties, performing
unique and unexpected jobs and
made from wheat, corn, garbage,
soybeans. coal, petroleum. lime

salt: thousands of low cost
abundant raw materials from Pc

made by paper-making technique
which may give us new fresh
clothes as often as we wish TO
change our synthetic linens.
Other possibilities named were
nonshatterable glass and glass
filters with 10 times the tensile
strength of mild steel; germ
killing chemicals, new anaes-
thetics. synthetic vitamins and
medicines, and epochal develop
ments IN connection with cleo
tronics and the electron, including

and the electric eye.
Invasion of what has been con-
sidered the Legitimate field OF
established industries by manufac-
turers who have formerly made
products of an entirely different
nature, was also predicted by the
technical director. BY way of eX-
ample, he cited that the rubber

Biggest Job
Contract Settlements
TO Affect History

The history of the nation for the
next 20 years depends on the eff
Gent settlement of present gov
eminent war contracts. 1t. Gen,
William S. Knudsen. director of
the vast Air Technical Service
Command. declared Saturday as
he called for public understanding
of 1.-The greatest job America has
ever faced next TO the winning OF
this war"
Expressing concern over what
he termed possible public apathy
in the coming months over con-
tract settlements, Gen. Knudsen
pointed out that for decades to
come 1.-The nations entire economy
and that means jobs and money
in the bank and a chance 10 send
YOUR son TO college-depends on
the outcome of the job we have
ahead of us today.
cit is no exsggeration to say
that the future happiness of
every American for the next two
generations depends on the eff
forts and understanding of all of
us in this gigantic job of read
justment," he said.
MUST BE PATIENT
Labor will have To under
stand that there will he some
unemployment as we terminate
contracts and cut back produc-
ton. II will have to be patient
until we can absorb these un-
employed people in plants which
will increase production, such as
those making B-29 SUPERIOR
tress bombers and parts.
Management must realize the
necessity for the prompt presen-
tation OF bills to the govern
ment. IL Is a curious fact that
we have thousands of cOntrac-
tors and subcontractors who are
not asking for their money. We
have got to know their inven-
tories of excess property, raw
materials teeis,' gauges dies
and fixtures. costs and charges
on work done and claims against
them by suppliers.
Perhaps they figure the gov
eminent is always good for the
money. But IL this situation
continues, il will mean a pile-up
of claims and the consequent
disruption of the entire process
of contract settlement.
MUST SETTLE CLAIMS
"The government, in turn, has
a tremendous responsibility I'm
settling these claims, turning
excess property to other uses
and at the same time continu-
ing the kind of production ii
will take to beat Germany to
its knees and knock Japan
senseless. I can truthfully say
that Il is doing a good job.
I'VE are doing everything we
can to facilitate. the job that
must be done. the greatest job
America has ever faced next to
the winning of this war. II Is
no exaggeration to say that the
way we do this job will effect
our economic history for the
next 20 years"

THE strongest element of Jap

Iron Powder
Made from Rock

MINNEAPOLIS, req. - up
Research metallurgists at the Uni
versity CT Minnesota have found a
method of converting billions OF
tons of now worthless rock on the
/ Mesabi range into the pure iron
powder needed for a casting process
that may revolutionize the steel
industry.
A laboratory plant to determine
the best methods of producing the
995 per cent pure iron powder and
to produce enough CT it so that
manufacturers can use it for eX-
perimental purposes will be put into
operation at the university's school
Of mines experimental station on
March /.
METHOD USED
The laboratory will include a hy-
draulic press to demonstrate how
the iron powder can be pressed into
molds, then baked at 1000 degrees
Fahrenheit into forms and shapes
such as gears, bearings and brake
drums that need not be proceSSed
and machined by highly skilled and
highly paid help.
If the study. of iron powder
metallurgy had been going on for
so years instead of merely 20 1t
would be of invaluable aid. in war
production" said c. V. Firth, uni
versiry metallurgist. Any part that
requires machining is expensive to
make and those that require a
great deal of machining can be
made cheaper with iron powder
But the war cut the United States
off from the supply Of pure Swedish
iron powder and manufacturers
began searching for substitute.
About l6 tons CT it are used daily
in this country at the present time
Three processes were studied, but
it was not until the method now
employed at the university was
made suitable to the lower slaty'
rock on the Mesabi range that a
cheap and plentiful supply seemed
possible.
HIGH GRADE ORE
The lower slaty." which must be
removed before high grade ore can
be mined, covers thousands OF
acres on the Mesabi range and is
from 10 to 40 feet thick. Under
the new process, this rock is ground
into a black mud, treated with acid
and oxidized. then heated in blue
water gas which leaves pellets OF
pure iron which are ground into
powder.
"All the processes are standard
mining or chemical practice Firth
said. "and costs can be figured &C
curately."
He estimated the cost per pound
of the iron in a 100-ton per day
plant would be five cents as COM
pared with current costs CT 10 cents
to one dollar a pound, depending
on purity.
The iron powder can be cast TO
an accuracy of one-thousandth OF
an inch. and the metal that comes
from the baking furnace mas a
strength between that CT cast IRON
and steel, Firth said.
