Raleigh, Nov. l2.-Now that the

in sight over control Of the national
Congress or spcakcrShip Of the North
Carolina House of Representatives,
the politically are showing
some interest in the protein presi-

there is little prospect OF a scrap.
Only two names have been mention
ed in connection with the post, those
of Senators Joe Blythe OF Charlotte
and Gordon Gray of Winston-Salem.
Some weeks ago Senator Gray
stated he was not a candidate ana
would make no effort TO get the JOB.
If he. has changed his mind there
has been no public evidence OF II.
Senator Blythe was here a few days
ago on other business and let IT be
known he is in receptive mood. when
asked how his campaign" was COM

expect to wage one, but that ne APP

well as proven ability, nc IS entlIIIu

at the same time, but missed !he

pJ reduction of minerals and metals
through purchases made carefully
so as not TO create stringencies in
our marfets. We should be able 10
70 a long way toward complete
self suffiency. Il Is not only de-
4irable to have stockpiles--it is
essential to have continuously op-
Grating producers to take care Of
war needs. The stoCkpiles are in
tended TO act as reservoirs TO take
care OF unusual drains on our pro-
ductive capacity as well as to pro-
vide a backlog OF minerals and
metals in which we may be def
cient'
There are a number OF ways
ia which. under the Stockpile Act
the Board may stimulate the pro
ductl0n OF domestic materials. in
Guiding liberal contracts and ad-
vances against future production
and perhaps sope form - premi-
um payments Although there
scarcely has been the chance to
formulate and announce what the
stockpiIe purchasing policies will
be. there should not be too much
delay IN doing so II is expected
that Congress will keep a close
watch on the Army and Navy mu-
nitions board 10 see how they in
tend TO implement the law in ac-
tual practice
Congressman Murdock stated
that he has in mind a possible Sc
ries OF hearings later in the year
designed 10 bring out the ideas of
the mining industry with regard
to stockpling and 10 give the off
ciials OF the stockpile board an
opportunity TO state their policies
and the reasons therefor.
When asked about the possible
dates OF these proposed hearings.
he said that mis- plans were not
sufficiently advanced to set a
time. but 1t would probably be in
November. The Board, be thought,
should have opportunity by that
time to formulate plans and TO
have well defined procedure to
carry out the policy.

New StockpiIe Act TO
Encourage Conservation,
Development Of Minerals

According 10 Representative
John r Murdoch CD OF Arizona.
member OF the Colmer House
Committee on Postwar Economic
policy and Planning. the future Of
the uon-ferrous mining industry OF
the United States will depend
. largely upon the administration Of
the new stockpile law by the Ar
my and Navy Munitions Board
This il vital but almost un-
touched field Of study for this
committee
In the next few years" stated
4 Congressman Murdock today,
Congress is expected to appro-
pirate several billion dollars for
stockpiliug strategic and critical
materials OF course. all Of this
money viii not be spent for min
erals and metals but they will con-
stitute the largest part OF the
stockpiles II also may be noted
that the Board can receive with
out charge materials declared sur
plus. up TO a valuation equalling
its appropriation for new materi-
ais.
"The Stockpile Act" continued
Mr.. Murdoch. shows clearly in its
policy clause that Congress not
only directs the acquisition OF
metals and minerals wherever
they conveniently can be procured.
but it is a mandate 10 the board
so to arrange its purchases as TO
encourage the conservation and
development OF sources OF these
materials within the United States
and thereby decrease and prevent
wherever possible a dangerous
and costly dependence OF the Unit
ed States upon foreign nations for
supplies OF these materials ia
times OF national emergency"
In discussing the necessity for
"A well balanced purchase program
which viii build up stockpiles OF
the requisite size aud at the same
time stimulate domestic discover
les. exploration and development.
the Congressman pointed out that
even in the case OF minerals OF
which We are presumed TO be de-
ficient every effort should be made
10 find sources and develop new
methods OF recovery while re-
serves are being built up from for
eign sources. Manganese and
chrome" he stated, ARE excellent
examples of minerals OF which We
have vast low grade deposits
which can be converted into me
tallic form. readily stockpiled, and
are in that form suitable for most
commercial uses. The board
should Immediately take steps TO
encourage direct commercial pro-
duction of these metals from do
mestic low grade ores. The bulk
importation of these ores is among
the more aggrayating of our war
supply problems. There are prob
ably many other similar instances
Now we have in the law the
buy American directive and a di-
rectiye to the Interior Department
and economic Investigations con-
corning the extent and mode OF
occurrence. the development, min
ings preparation, treatment. and
utilization OF ores and other min
eral substances found in the Unit
ed States or its Territories or in
sular possessions we must make
certain that these purposes are
properly carried out and that the
intent of Congress properly is i'm

date. With the Interior Depart
