Rep. Durham Urges
U. 5. Spend More for
Strategic Materials
BY the Asseeiated Prcss

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. %
Representative Durham, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina said today
1t Is time for the Government to
make long term contracts with
domestic producers Of seriously
deficient materials" - such as
manganese.
Mr.. Durham, chairman of a
stockpiling subcommittee of the
House Armed Services Committee,
also advocated increasing the
present above-market-price pay
ments to domestic producers of
essential and scarce materials.
Steelman Explains Aim.
He said in q speech prepared
for the American Mining Congress
the time has come to raise the
artificial Is per cent differential
OF the Buy American Act"-a
move which the Munitions Board
announced in Washington yester-
day after Mr.. Durham had pre-
pared his address.
The board, however, emphasized
that in line with q directive from
DIR. John r. Steelman, assistant to
the President, any payment in ex-
cess Of Is per cent above market
prices must be justified In terms
OF urgent national security. It
said the new policy will not be
used as general subsidy meas
ure."
Emphasizing "the near-critical
shortage" Of manganese, MIR. Dur
ham, who is also a co-chairman of
the Joint Congressional Commit
tee on Atomic Energy, said:
I'VE have manganese deposits
in this country.
Urges Federal Plants.
IF the ore requires beneficial
ton (reduction or concentration
then let's grant the long-term
contracts that will permit private
industry to do the job--or build
the plants at Government expense.
IF we don't follow this pro-
gram--we may find ourselves in
the position Of being completely
dependent upon foreign sources
for our manganese. Our policy Of
buying cheaper from outside the
United States may turn out to be
the most expensive mistake in
our history.
IF this means that stockpile
appropriations need to be larger,
then the Congress ought to pro-
vide them"
II believe, too" Mr.. Durham
said. "that we should expect the
other members Of the United Ma
tions to do their part in supplying
US with essential materials for the
keeping Of the peace"

Trained by Army.
The 40 civilian physicians urged
to volunteer by the District Medi-
cal Society today were named in
a list submitted to the society by
the Army. They received dement's
under the wartime Army Special
dzed Training Program. the So
ciety said.
Theodore Wiprud, society sec
retary, said he could not predict
the response to the appeal. A
similar appeal. a year ago brought
only six favorable responses, but
that was before Korea, he pointed
out.
The society does not know how
many of the 40 may be ineligible
for military service because they
are in residence at hospitals or for
other reasons. MIR. Wiprud said.
Some may not actually be in the
District at present. he added.
The following is the text Of the
society letter:
"Your name has just been given
us by the Department of the
Army as a physician who received
benefits under the Army Special
lied Training Program (ASTP).
AS you know, the Army is in ur-
gent need of medical officers and
it is the unanimous opinion of
various officials and non-official
bodies who have studied this mat
ter that you are in the category
which should be called upon first
to serve.
"At the present time, of course,
there is no compulsion with re-
Spect to your or any other group
except medical reserve officers.
However. it appears that doctor
draft legislation, now before Con-
gress. may be passed in the very
near future. It would therefore be
advantageous for ASTP-trained
physicians who are in the first
category to volunteer now. AS
special inducement there will be
800 q month additional compen-
sation to those who apply imme-
diately for a commission in the
Army Medical Corps.
"As you are well aware, this
is a critical period in the Nations
history and one in which we must
be willing to make any sacrifice
necessary to safeguard its welfare.
We feel sure we can count on your
cooperation. I will appreciate
very much hearing from you.
Cordially yours,
WILLIAM M. BALLINGER.

But the Macarthur statement

full advantage of it's contents.
In the meanwhile, as the ad-

Morse Calls for Investigation.
Republican reaction to the

forms.
Senator Morse, Republican. Of

mittees of both houses.
In an interview Senator Morse
called for "a clear statement from

category of Macarthur critics.
role that some Democrats seemed
to be reluctant to accept.
McCarran Supports General.
Senator McCarran, Democrat
of Nevada, for one, said he thinks
every American ought to know
Gen. MacArthur's views.
There is man who is on the
ground and knows what he is talk
ing about" Senator McCarran
said.
Such administration stalwarts
as Chairman Connally of the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee
avoided comment on both the
Macarthur statement and the
Presidents suppression of 1t.
One administration Democrat
who didn't want to be identified
said he thought the President had
only emphasized the Macarthur
statement by banning it. A Re-
publican who wanted to remain
anonymous took the Presidents &
side, saying that Gen. Macarthur
spoke with only one theater In
mind-not the whole world.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat
of Alabama. recently named to the

thinks the Presidents order to

the die" as far as this country is
concerned and must be backed
up by American action to keep
the island from falling in hostile
hands.
