Mitchell Urges
Operation Of
Aluminium Plant

Immediate operation of the
aluminium rolling mill at Spokane,
Washington was asked Friday by
United States Senator Hugh M.
Mitchell in order to meet the ur-
gent demands of the building con-
struction industry for metal sheet.
Senator Mitchell talked by tele-
phone to various officials in Wash
ington, D. G. urging that immed-
late arrangements be made to al
low the operation of the rolling
mill at Spokane as a practical
means of helping to solve two of
the foremost problems facing re-
turning veterans and the nation
as whole that Of providing new
jobs and adequate housing mater
ial.
Senator Mitchell said that John
w. Snyder, Director of Reconstruc-
ton and Mobilization, as well as
members of President Truman's
staff, assured him of immediate
consideration Of the problem.
The Washington Senator stated
that the Aluminium Company of
America and the Reynolds Metals
Corp. were both operating their
privately owned rolling mills at
full capacity and yet failing to
meet the demand for aluminium
sheet. aluminium sheet, he said,
could be sold for $1,000 per 100
square feet, while the consumer il
now paying $500 for sheet iron
which is unavailable in quantities
needed by the building industry
There is no reason why the
War Assets Corporation could not
make the Spokane Rolling Mill
available to private operators on q
basis which would allow the pri-
vate operator to produce q salts
factory aluminium sheet for build
ing needs" the Senator said.
Trough estimates now indicate
that about three billion pound Of
battle scrap is available for use.
If this battle scrap were rolled and
coated with a thin layer of virgin
aluminium, an inexpensive salts
factory material could be produced
which would be of inestimable
value to the housing industry"
Senator Mitchell informed WMR
Director Snyder and the White
House that here ,as in every other
state, he has found great need
for the adequate housing of re-
turning veterans who want to
start peace-time life as it should
be started: in their own homes
with their own families. I'm view
of this" he stated, lit is mex
cusable that the government
should allow any plant which
could produce building material
to stand idle"
Senator Mitchell was in this
area Friday with Investigators
from the National Defense Investi-
eating Committee, reviewing sur
plus stocks of the Army and Navy
bases here.
Friday morning the Senator was
the speaker at breakfast at the
Hotel Pasco Coffee Shop, attend
ed by a full house Of Kennewick
and Pasco citizens. His address,
in which he outlined his four
point legislative program, was
carried over station KPKW. His

The Kennewicl Lions are on top
Of the league at the half way mark
and have won five straight games.
Last Tuesday night the local boys
took Grandview into camp, after
a slow first half whcih ended by a
score of 1913 in favor of Grand
view. The Lions came out roaring
in the start of the second half and
racked up II points In the third
quarter while Grandview was held
to 9 points during this period.
Eight points were added to the
Lions score in the last quarter
while Grandview secured z, the
game resulting in the above score
of 1926 for Kennewick. The team
playing of Kennewick has been
improving during the last few
games. Grandview started out with
a couple of baskets by Browder,
which were matched by one each
by Green and Sitter, but Grand
view pulled ahead at the quarter
mark with another by Hoon. At the
end of the second quarter each
team had 4 field goals, with
GrandvieW adding two gift shots,
ending 1913 Grandview.
At the start of the second hall,
the local boys roared back with q
furry of buckets that jumped
their lead to 25-17 and went on to
hold that lead to the end Of the
game.
Kennewick lost the services Of
Bill Green, the speedy guard,
early in the last quarter, but Har-
old Perkins, q sophomore, filled
in ably. The Work Of Wyatt and
Blaclkman was outstanding, eS-
pecially in their ability to take off
the rebounds under both nets.
These boys are improving In every
game. The fact that any member Of
the team is apt to break away for
several points has been the secret
Of the Lions wins 20 far. Browder
of Grandview was high man Of
