Kaiser Seeks Lease
OF WAA Plant if Deal
With Republic Fails
By the Associated Press

Henry J. Kaiser today offered to
lease a $12,113,304 blast furnace at
Gadsden, Ala. If the War Assets Ad-
ministration fails to come to terms
with the Republic Steel Corp. which
is negotiating for the furnace.
Several months ago the Kaiser
Frazer Corp. leased a Government
owned blast furnace at Cleveland,
which was being operated for the
Government by Republic.
Mr.. Kaiser announced his offer
for the Gadsden' furnace in a state
ment. He said he had written War
Assets Administrator Jess Larson a
letter aimed at assuring" that the
iron output from tine furnace will
be supplied to the foundry industry.
The Gadsden property is now un-
der lease to Republic, but the cor
poration says the terms are not sat-
isfactory. Mr.. Larson earlier this
week offered to meet Republics pro-
posed changes in the 10-year lease,
provided 1t takes care of its former
Cleveland pig-iron customers.
Conditions Listed.
Mr.. Kaiser called his offer one of
three alternatives to insure that
metal from the Gadsden furnace
goes to foundrymen. The others:
l. That Republic agree to WAA's
request to supply at least 280, 200
tons-the furnaces annual capacity
to the foundry industry each year.
2. If Republic rejects the proposal
and breaks off negotiations. that the
foundry industry can establish a CO.
operative company to lease the
plant.
Mr.. Kaiser said if the two alter
natives fail, I'VE are prepared to
lease the Gadsden furnace in the
same terms presented to Republic.
1t would be our policy during the
current foundry pig iron shortage to
sell the entire production of Gads-
den on the open market to con-
sumers of foundry pig iron."
Two Firms Cited.
Mr.. Kaiser said that either by
coincidence or plot" two firms of
attorneys representing Otis g. Co.,
Cleveland banking house, are now
simultaneously waging attacks
against Kaiser -Frazer's lease of the
Cleveland blast furnace.
He named the firms as Arnold,
Fortas e. Porter of Washington and
Miller Hornbeck of Cleveland. He
said both represent Otis & Co. in
court actions and now are claim
ing to speak for foundry customers
of Republic whom Republic has
threatened to cut off from pig IRON"
Otis g. Co. Withdrew last winter
from proposed underwriting of
Kaiser stock issue. Mr.. Kaiser ac-
cused the banking firm of breaking
q contract. Several legal actions
growing out of the incident are
underway.

Red Cross Gives
Local Relief Too

Although the public is very much
aware of the important role the Red
Cross plays in providing relief and
rehabilitation for those involved
in spectacular disasters, they prob
ably have little idea of the import
ance of the same type of work that
is done by local chapters as the re-
suit of small-scale local disasters,
such as fires in peoples homes, etc.
For that reason the February re-
port made by Mrs. ]. C. Fulde, Chair
man of the Home Service Committee
of the local Red Cross Chapter, is
particularly interesting. Here are
some of the highlights of her report.
Thirty-five applications for help
from persons or families were made
to the Washington County Chapter
of the American Red Cross during
the month of February, and nine
teen of these applications were from
war veterans. Of the thirty-fve
cases handled, fourteen Gall of them
veterans) were given financial as
sistance, totaling $110, and the sum
of $19.74 was expended under the
heading of disaster relief. This lat
ter expenditure was, of course, in
addition to clothing and other mis-
cellaneous items stocked by the
Chapter, which were given to those
in need through such disasters as
fire in the home, etc.

Pegasus Club Hears
Wayne w. Parrish
Aviation Editor And Publisher
Gives Straight From Shoulder
Talk On Aviation.

The meeting of Fairchild Air
crafts Division of the Pegasus Club
held at Franklin Court Auditorium
on Friday night was outstanding in
three respects.
First: the dinner served was some
thing entirely different from the
usual dinner served at banquets, and
the appreciation of the members
and their guests was very evident
in the plates after the meal was
over, which in very many instances
barely required washing
Two: the good fellowship of the
members was evident all through
the meeting, particularly when the
excellent floor show was put on and
some of the members were called
upon to take an active part in it.
Three: the guest speaker, Wayne
w. Parrish, internationally known
aviation newspaper man and at
present editor and publisher of
American Aviation Publications,
skipped the usual fowery praises
for his hosts organization and got
down to an honest-to-goodness talk
an aviation as it is today, and as its
future looks
Mr.. Parrish, who asked that most
of his remarks be off the record
(for obvious reasons) gave some of
his experiences during his recent
trip to Europe, and quite frankly
painted pretty dark picture of the
present world situation But he did
not think that it was hopeless, and
as a good many others believe to-
day, he stated that with the right
leadership and the right guidance,
lasting peace can still be made.
Speaking of aviation, Mr.. Parrish
stated that it would be quite some
time before airplanes became COM
mon mode of pleasure riding, and
that one of the big possibilities of
the airplane industry was the use
of the plane as carrier of freight.

Around Town With
The Editor

President Truman in the strongest
and finest address he has made since
he assumed the Presidency of the
United States following the death
of the late President Roosevelt, in
plain and unmistakable language,
told the Congress of the United
States yesterday, that the time has
come to ''Pick Up The Brick" (see
editorial elsewhere on this page.)
Now it remains to be seen whether
the Congress will-forgetting for
the time being that this is an cleo
ton year-take immediate steps to
back up our president.
A healthy sign-the fine way the
Hagerstown Retailers Bureau sticks
together, with the majority of the
members main consideration the
welfare of the Bureau and the en-
tire community
At the present time, in my book,
the man who stands out head and
shoulders above anybody else in the
United States as presidential timber
Republican or Democrats SEN
ator Arthur Vandenberg of Michi-
gan.
While there is a lot of street cor
ner talk regarding political aspir-
ants for the City election next year,
there doesn't seem to be any con-
certed effort by either Party at this
time, and it will probably be late in
the fall before they settle down
to the real business of selecting
party candidates.
1t is, however, a healthy sign to
find people, this far ahead, discuss
ing possible candidates for the next
City election, for it is only by sound
ing out people who might be inter-
ested, or perhaps l should say,
people who might be willing to
make the sacrifice, that a truly rep
resentative slate-be it either Dem
ocratic or Republicans arrived at.
l firmly believe that the day is
just about over when strict party
politics can be expected to control
local elections, for in this day and
time people are not so much con-
cerned as to whether the man or
woman they vote for in the City
election is a Republican or Demo
crat, but rather whether they are
the type of people that can be ex-
pected to give the City an efficient
and honest administration.
1t is my hope that when the can
didates are announced for our May
or and Council for 1949, that there
will be found among them large
number of young business men who
are willing to make the sacrifice
that is necessary of everyone who
enters into a political campaign
particularly city election), with
the sole purpose of helping to make
his city better place in which to
live and make living.
