Aluminium Future
Said TO Rest
On Cheap Power

WASHINGTON. March 81. (UP)
Cheap power Will determine the
future location of the aluminium in
dustry, and that location probably
will be the Pacific northwest, the
senate small business committee was
told Monday by DR. Paul j. Raver.
administrator of the Bonneville
Power Administration.
Raver said nearly one-third of
the national output of aluminium
has come from the power supply of
Bonneville and Grand Coulee dams
in the past four years.
Bonneville power rates are the
lowest in The country and are at
tracing to the northwest power
dependent industries such as mag
nesium, aluminium, and ferro allows
in an ever increasing number, he
said.
Bonneville supplies power for the
Aluminium Company of America,
he said, and intend to continue ito
cooperate with Alcoa, whatever hap
pens"
He said, however, that the govern
ment should create competition in
the aluminium industry through
disposal of government owned plants
to competitors.

Illness Haunted
Won Rundsfedf
In BeIqian Drive

BURGBROHL, Germany. March 81
(UP)-Failure OF the German arm
les in the battle of the Belgian bulge
marked the downfall of Marshal
Karl Won Rundstedt. The story was
told by the manager of the hotel
where the Ardennes offensive was
planned.
Rundstedt. long ailing from a kid
ney and stomach trouble, was re-
moved from command of the Nazi
armies on the western front and
Immediately replaced by Marshal
Walther Model after the offensive
collapsed last December, the hotel
manager disclosed.
The hotel. which the Germans
used as western 'front.' headquarters
until March 5, was the modernistic
and swanky Korfurstenhof Bad
Tonistein near Burgbrohl.
Won Rundstedt and Model set up
their western front headquarters
here Novembec and began plan
ming what turned out to be the
battle of the Bulge" said the man
ager who asked that his name be
withheld.
They used to work late and at
nights took long walks in the woods.
On November 8 they worked
throughout the night when they
were believed to have completed
the plans"
Rundstedt left here soon after
completion of the plans, the man.
ager added, but Model stayed on
until December II, when he left for
Munstereifel to personally direct the
break Through.
He returned here after the often
sive was broken and stayed until
March 5. During that time Model
received an urgent telephone call.
He was told of the American ad-
vance and was advised to move back
Immediately.
The hotel manager said that plans
already had been made for the
move and that German soldiers had
been burning documents for the 10
preceding days. The American First
Army advanced quicker than an
ticipated and Model was forced to
move fast.
He was having lunch when he
received the call" the manager said.
He came back to the dining hall
sent orderlies to his quarters in a
Chateau across the road to pick up
his luggage, and resumed his lunch
Within three-quarters of an hour
after the call M o del was EN- route
across the Rhine and the rest of
his staff moved out two days later"
Rundstedt was described by the
manager as very i'll and always sur
rounded by five or six bodyguards,
while Model was young and fit.
The manager pictured Model as a
typical Prussian General, always
wearing a monocle and declining
to mingle with his men. When he
was here he always left early for
the front and returned about din
nertime-except when Allied fighter
bombers were out, the manager
said. Then he would remain in the
hotel until about 5 p. m. and return
about p. IN.

TAX BILL
New maneuvering was reported
meantime in the Warren-Sponsored
drive for early passage of tax reduc-
ton bills. Legislative Counsel Fred
Wood ruled that 54 votes were need
ed in the assembly for passage OF
its tax measure. A test vote last
week showed the governors forces
we're 10 votes short of that total
There were reports that an at
tempt would be made to amend the
bill to make its passage possible by
simple majority of Al votes.
Vandegrift reiterated statement
that the governors health bill
would cost S100,0O0,0O0 more a year
than income received from pro-
posed 3 per cent payroll tax. He
made the assertion in a letter to
ASsemblyman T. Fenton Knight (R9
La Canada, vice chairman of the
legislative budget committee.
The legislative auoit added that
> health bill backed by the state
CIO council would show about the
same loss.
i think the figure is ridiculous y
Wollenberg declared. I'VE will sup
ply reliable evidence of what the
bill will cost"
Copies of a circular from the
Women of the Pacific calling health
insurance ''unadulterated state So
cialism no matter what it is mis-
called by vote hungry politicians and
power-mad labor leaders" were re-
ceived here Tuesday night.
ASKS ACTION
The circular asked that postcards
opposing health legislation be sent
to Assembly Speaker Charles Lyon
CR) Beverly Hills, because of his
active" opposition to the proposal.
Lyon said he had received about
200I of the cards and had stuck
them in a cabinet" He said he didn't
know why the cards were being sent
him.
The assembly speaker added that
while he was opposed to compulsory
health bills, he was not actively
fighting them.
Warren declined to comment on
the Women of the Pacific'S CAM
paign.
However, he contested an aSSer-
ton by Vandegrift that he had dis
regarded constitutional provisions
in failing to estimate health insur-
ance costs in his biennial budget.
The governor pointed out that the
system would be in operation only
for the last six months of the COM
ing two years and it would have a
backlog of collections from the prior
six months.

Make Move for

Weary of the time and labor re-
CURED to get the fertilizer they
must have every year to produce
crops, Imperial Valley farmers We'd
nesday prepared to ask the federal
government to build a super-phos-
phate plant in the valley.
Valley farmers need $4,000 tons
of triple super phosphate this year
and have been informed that there
are only 2700 tons available on the
west coast, it was set out.
I'VE object to single phosphate
because we have to apply twice as
much TO get the same effect as
triple super phosphate" William
Bailey, well known farmer, said
Wet nesday. IF we use the single
variety we pay double for freight
and labor over what it costs US for
the triple. 1t takes more gasoline,
trucks, and men to use the single
variety"
1t was learned that the federal
government is financing construc-
ton of fertilizer mixing plants else
where in the nation SO it is planned
10 ask that one be built in the val
ley as soon as possible. Soil in the
valley is short on phosphate and it
must be added if best growing re-
suits are obtained Rock used in
making triple super-phosphate may
be obtained in Idaho, Bailey said.
"A fertilizer mixing plant in the
valley would cut down shipping
COSTS" Bailey said. 1T would save
railroad cars if they shipped valley
farmers triple super phosphate from
the. east. For instance 25,00o tons
Of single variety, which we under
stand could be shipped in from Tex
as, would bs the equivalent of 10000
tons CT triple Super-phosphate. Use
of the single variety costs more all
the way around for half the re-
suits"
