Official 'Brass' Helps Launch First Production of Salem Tin Can Firm House Group 'Divided Over Civil Rights Can line foreman Richard Wie land had plenty of help Wednesday as the big machines on his No. 1 production line noisily punched out the first batcW cans made in the new Salem plant of American Can Co. The cans were of high grade tinplate metal; the first-day cere monial helo was hich aradc "brass" Gov. Elmo Smith and nther mvernment and industry leaders who switched on the plant' initial production and who in spected" the fhSt run of cans, j Putting the first of three produc tion lines into action called for the ceremony of the day at the nearly -completed million dollar in dustrial plant in North Salem near the Cascade Meats plant. Experirarrd Nucleus A nucleus of IS experienced Canco men transferred from other plants started the Salem work Wednesday. Plant Superintendent .1. ; Griffin said hirine of em ployes locally would begin next week. Bv August the plant is to be in full production with a crew of 75 and an output of 240 million cans a year. Then an Open House for the public will be planned. American Can officials and a Salem Chamber of Commerce dele- sation exchanged shouted greet ings as 450 cans per minute formed on the Drodurtion line, banced UD and down and around on the con veyor belt through the series of heating, welding, punching and other operations, then headed across the big, open manufacturing room ceiling, through can-size openings in the concrete wall to the storage area, then back with out stopping1 through the wall and down to the hands of men packing them in large, square heavy-paper I sacks lor storage and shipment. Machine Fed Theirs were the first hands to touch the cans since a workman fed stocks of tinplate pieces into the machinery in the first place. Since only one of three lines was complete and working and since nothing had yet been stored in the 240 by 380 foot warehouse, the cans "rattled around" the plant in more ways han one Wednesday, American Can Vice President R. C. Stolk said the warehouse offers a feature new to American Can in its heiehth 29 feet, which per mits can stacks half again as high j as in most Canco plants. Open Factory Another new feature in the com pany's newest plant, he said, is the entirely-open factory section non partitioning of maintenance, supply or other production depart ments. The manufacturing room is 161 by 200 feet. Among those visiting dignitaries who saw the first can -run, besides Gov. Smith, .ere Salem Mayor Robert F. JQlite, Chamber Vice President CUude A. Miller and N. W. MerriJJfSalem packer who is president of Northwest Canners and Freezers Association. Can company leaders present in eluded, besides West Coast vice president Stolk, E. G.
