Chemists Believe
They Have Found
Important Method
By James II. Bishop
(United Press Sufi Correspondent)
Knoxvllle, Tenn., Jan. 29 iui
Two University of Tennessee
chemists who have discovered a
unique method for producing
rhenium, a rare heavy metal, be
lieve it may result in new metal
lic alloys and chemical com
pounds. For instance, they say, it may
be used to develop better fila
ments lor electric light bulbs.
Plant Developed
Dr. Arthur D. Melaven and J.
A. Bacon developed the only plant
of its type in the world for pro
ducing the metal. Melaven said
that now the only drawback to
extensive experimentation with
the relatively unknown element is
its high cost. It sells for $900 a
pound.
Rhenium is isolated from mol
ybdenum sulphide flue dust,
which is a by product from a cop
per plant in Arizona. The chem
ists say only in dust from this
plant has the metal been found
in sufficient quantity. The pilot
plant for extracting it started op
erating in Knoxville last sum
mer. Elements Unknown
"Many of the physical and
chemical properties of the rare
element remain unknown and,
consequently, commercial use of
the metal must await further
study of the element itself," Mel
aven said. "But its weight and
density suggest many uses for it."
Because of its similarity to
tungsten, Melaven said, rhenium
possibly can be used in light bulbs
for filaments. Mixing it in small
quantities with other, more com
mon metals, may produce new
useful alloys, he said. "I don't
know of any medical uses it
might have but we shipped the
metal to several hospitals," he
added.
In addition to the hospitals the
school has shipped rhenium to
universities and industrial plants
all over the United States. Ship
ments also are going to several
foreign countries.
Before the discovery of the
Melaven Bacon process, Germany
was the only available source of
rhenium. There the metal was be
ing sold for as much as $4,500 a
pound.
Highway Body
(Continued from Page 1)
crosses the Ochoco summit Into
Central Oregon, via Mitchell and
Prineville, and continues west
ward through Redmond and Sis
ters. Backers of Oliver unhealed
that they would like to have the
support of all Central Oregon.
Oliver is at present a member of
the state board ol hlgner educa
tion. His term expires on March
2, 19-19, and he would be available
for the highway appointment.
Also mentioned for the vacancy,
should one occur on the board, is
a man well known in Central Ore
gon, M. R. Matthew, of The Dalles.
He is being backed by influential
follow townsmen. Matthew has
traveled eastern Oregon routes
since the days of cow trails, and
made his first trips into the Bend
country from Shaniku in horse
and buggy days, way back in l'JOli.
Vale lias Candidate
Interest in the possible vacancy
on the state highway commission
has also spread to the far eastern
part of the slate, where Robert
D. Lytic of Vale has the support
of communities facing Idaho from
the Oregon side. Lytic is a runn
er district attorney of Malheur
county and a former circuit judge.
He has long been active in Ore
gon republican work and is a
former member of his party's
stale central committee.
LaGrandc has also advanced a
candidate -for a place on the state
highway commission, to represent
the vast region east of the Cas
cades. He is Charles H. Reynolds,
public utilities and insurance and
loan executive. He has close as
sociation with the stale highway
commission, and since 1935 he has
served as a member of the advis-

Republican Party Damage
Unrepaired as Meeting Ends
Omaha, Nob.. Jan. 29 illi Dam-1 Committeemen Harry Sommers,
age to the republican party organ- Georgia, publicly apologized to
izalion in an angry two-day na-1 committeeman Harrison E. Spang
tional committee meetinc hero ! lor. Iowa, whom he had described
was far from repaired Friday as !
members scattered through an
other blizzard to their homes.
It has been a tough week all
around in Omaha. Nebraska was
half-paralyzed by snow drifts and
ice when the republicans began
gathering here last week end. The
weather and republican tempers
grew steadily worse.
Yesterday another eight or ten
inches of disastrous snowfall was
piling up outside while republi
cans indoors were piling up a rec
ord of bitter feeling which long
may plague the parly.
When the roll finally was called,
49-year-old Hugh D. Scott, Jr.,
kept his job as national commit
tee chairman but with the slim
margin of 54 votes to 50.
The ouster move against him
was on charges that he was front
man for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York. The committee
never got around to voting for
Roy E. Dunn, Minnesota, the op
position pick for chairman. The
Scott forces tabled the ouster
resolution and that ended it, at
least for the time beging.
Travel association. He was on the
Old Oregon Trails commission,
and is chairman of the LaGrandc
chamber of commerce roads and
highway committee.
Change Proposed
Although interest cast of the
mountains is primarily centered
on the possibility that a new
highway commissioner may be
named to represent the region, a
bill introducad in the state legis
lature this week by Ben Musa,
senator from Wasco county, would
open up other appointments, if It
received final approval. This bill
would increase the personnel of
the state highay commission from
its present three members to five,
one to be appointed by the gover
nor from each of the state's four
congressional districts and a fifth
to be appointed from the state at
large.

Tractor Plunges
Into Frigid Pool
Warm Springs, Jan. 29 Carl
Johnson, employe of the Warm
Springs Lumber Co., suffered no
more than the discomforts of an
icy swim when the caterpillar
tractor he was driving to push
logs Into I he mill pond plunged
into the icy pool. The pond was
filled with huge ice chunks. The
tractor was recovered by use of
a heavy block and tackle.
Later the mill pond was in such
constant process of freezing that
a crew was kept busy breaking
the ice and permitting the trans
fer of logs to I he runway to the
carrier at the plant.

during the angry argument as a
man without principle, oohuiki"
was for Scott; Spangler against.
But all the rest of yesterday's
hard words remained on the rec
ord including some remarkable re
pudiations of Dewey's presidential
campaign and of any remote pos
sibility that he might ever be con
sidered by the party again for the
presidential nomination.
Many of Dewey's formerly ar
dent supporters denied him here
yesterday as a campaigner or
spokesman for the G.O.P. That
was done to protect Scott against
charges he was responsible lor
losing the election.
Scott was Dewey's hand-picked
committee chairman, but as he
and his supporters here repeated
ly explained, he had nothing to do
with the Dewey-Warren cam
paign. "Hugh had nothing to do with
the campaign any more than you
did," Committeeman G. Mason
Owlett, Pennsylvania, told the na
tional committee in a plea for
Scott. "The campaign was run
by Herb Brownell."
