Donohue Nomination
Raped as Political

The Petworth Citizens Associa-
ton has objected to the nomina-
ton Of F. Joseph Donohue as Dis
trict Commissioner on the grounds
that the selection was purely
political.
The group beat down an effort
to attack Mr.. Donohue on the
more personal grounds Of his hav-
ing had legal clients among the
"liquor interests" and his un-
familiarity with the District Gov
ernment.
Ernest Henry, a delegate to the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, said there could be no doubt
as to Mr.. Donohue's personal in
tegrity or legal ability. Mr.. Henry
added that the Commissioner
designate is'familiar with the Dis
trict Building and the court sys-
tenn.
Earlier. the group heard "such
political appointments" called a
slap IN tne Iace" TO the DISTRICT.
A three-man committee was ap-
pointed to draft a resolution pro-
testing the political angle and not
the man selected.
Mr.. Henry also criticized what
he termed the bad or certainly
low, quality of production" of the
Federation. He cited the ''low
number and value" of the COM
mittee reports. saying that most
of them are progress reports"
and do not give enough to work
on.
"T have never seen the Fedora
ton produce less in any three
meetings than in the last three"
he added.
The meeting was held in a
basement room of the Petworth
Branch Public Library, Georgia
avenue and Upshur street NV.

including aluminium, copper. brass
zlnc' lead, etc., all metals in short
supply. Mr.. Powell stressed the
fact that the results recently re-
ported apply solely to the first few
weeks of scrap activity and that
as soon as all phases of the pro-
gram are in full operation. the
tonnage of uncovered scrap start
ed back on its way to the mills
ana foundries from Delaware
should increase, appreciably.
Things now look promising
Tor the recovery of a large amount
OF scrap metal from the state. :"
SAID Mr.. Powell There is no
longer any question as to what
mas to be done. The order of the
Uay now is action. Otherwise. We
race the prospect of closed steel
mllIs in some instances and great
~ reduced production in Others.
bringing unemployment to those
communities and insufficient steel
ana other critical metals to sun
port defense and civilian needs. /
reel confident with such prospect
threatening, the State of Delaware
IS going to do not only its full
snare of scrap recovery but will
aoa to its share, a substantial bO-

tatlOn OF this committee, a number
q Key figures in local industries
attended a luncheon meeting at
the Town House on October 8 and
were addressed by Virgil J. RAIDER,
regional scrap expediter from the
regional Office of the Department
OF Commerce in Philadelphia.
Last week, the E. l. dupont de
Nemours and Company, announc-
ed that between May and August
this year, it had returned to the
mills $4,000 tons of iron and steel
scrap, as we'll as large quantities

Mr.. McFaul reports that during
the months of August and Septem-

scrap dealers.
The municipalities of the state
are also officially participating in
he State Scrap Program. Charles \

weeks ago by Mayor Hearn of Will
ningtOn. He reports that in ap-
)rOximately two months time, the
'arious Wilmington departments
Milford chronicle., 1951-10-26

have dug up and disposed of over
80 tons of scrap.
Other municipalities in the state,
where the mayors and councils
have assured NPA of their official
participation in the State Scrap
Program, are: Dover, Laurel,
Georgetown, Middletown, Milford
and Newark.
Late last month, the auto wreck
ers of Delaware held a meeting at
the district Office of the Depart

for the purpose of organizing their

At the meeting the scrap emergen-

chasing agent of the ClaymOnt
Steel Corporation. Eli Kaplan, of
Smyrna, is district chairman of the
state auto wreckers group and
Bernard RaphaelsOn, of Whining

man. Since auto wreckers are one
of the largest single sources of
heavy scrap, obtained chiefly from
the carcasses of defunct autOmo-
biles and trucks, after useable ac-
cessories and parts have been re-
moved and sold, much is expected
from this group in the way of
scrap recovery tonnage. A par
