Fertilizer
(Continued from Page 1)
The plant has had a varied
history, but always the possibil
ity of making it a permanent in
dustry was recognized, and that
is the intention of the new own
ers.
About a year ago it was up for
bid. Highest bidder at that time
to the government agency was
Manganese Products company of
Seattle at $750,000. The lease
of Columbia Metals corporation
of Seattle, former operators, ex
pired June 30 last, since when
the plant has been idle.
Further negotiations between
Manganese Products and the
government did not materialize,
and recently General Services
administration notified the Sa
lem Chamber of Commerce that
the plant was again up for sale.
"They asked us for our assist
ance in locating interested par
ties," Manager Cochran said to
day. We had been standing by
waiting for Manganese Products
to establish the plant. When it
was offered again, Rhoten,
Strickfaden and Metzger dis
cussed it, and after several trips
to Seattle completed the deal.
"For a short time," Metzger
said, "there arc still inventories
to take, then a program of clean
ing up before operations start,
It is the intention of the corpor
ation to be in production on or
about April 15 for a short spring
run. This has been urged upon
us because of an extreme short
age of nitrogen in this territory
just now.
"It is also the intention of
the company to work out ways
and means to put the plant on a
permanent basis. This may re
quire a good part of the first
year in research work."
The new owners plan to pro
duce ammonium sulphate. Thev
will do research work to find
some other commodities which
might be manufactured in the
plant.
Of Arch Metzger, Manager
Cochran of the Chamber of Com
merce said:
"He was there during the time
the Chemical Construction com
pany had it and produced alum
ina from clay. Then he carried
on with Columbia Metals corpo
ration producing ammonium sul
phate. If it had not been for the
fine cooperation by Arch Metz
ger and our senators and con
gressmen the plant might not
have been saved for Salem."
At a cost usually mentioned at
$4,060,000, but believed to have
been more, the plant was built
by Chemical Construction com
pany during World War II as a
government operation through
Columbia Metals to extract al
umina from clay. It was ex
perimental, but the plant proved
it could be done.
The plant went into operation
first the middle of 1945. By
that time alumina from clay was
not so important. The plant
went into the manufacture of
fertilizer on July 1, 1946, and
Columbia Metals took over the
operation by lease from the War
Assets Administration.
Originally the plant was es
tablished in Salem by the co
operative effort of the Western
States council. A plant was
wanted somewhere in the north
west. When Salem seemed to
be the logical spot members of
the couticil in other states were
cooperative in bringing it here.

Navy Orders
(Continued from Pai?e 1)
"I walked into this with my
eyes open," he said. "I'm doing
what I think best for my coun
try."
When the furlough becomes
effective April 1, his pay will
be cut from about $700 a month
to approximately $350 a month.
He is eligible to retire on three
quarters pay because of credit
for his many military decora
tions. Crommelin said he believed
the furlough was a suggestion
that pointed to the "desirability
of retiring." His answer to that
was:
"I'm not going to retire.
"I've closed the range to the
point where I'm hitting them
with every salvo, every burst,"
he added.
Court Martial Refused
He said he had "respectfully
requested" a court martial at the
time his navy superiors first
cited him for attacking the gen
eral staff. A court martial would
force an official examination
of his charges that the defense
department is being "Prussian
ized" under the joint chiefs of
staff.
But defense officials have
made clear they will not give
Crommelin a "sounding board."
Nor do they want him to be
come a "martyr" like the late
Brig. Gen. Mitchell, an early ad
vocate of air power.
Under navy furlough regula
tions, Crommelin will have
about the same status as an of
ficer on leave. He will be sub
ject to "any dictate or other ac
tion" for violation of orders
and may be recalled to duty at
any time.
Washington, March 16 0).R)
Adm. Forrest P. Sherman chief
of naval operations, expressed
regret today that it was "neces
sary" to discipline Capt. John G
Crommelin by furloughing him
on half pay.
Sherman told the United Press
that the action was taken be
cause of Crommelin's "contin
ued" insubordination in disre
garding orders to quit criticizing
defense officials and policies.
"I am deeply regretful that it
has become necessary to relieve
from active duty in the naval
service an officer who has in
the past rendered distinguished
and valiant service to his coun
try," Sherman said.
"However, the navy regula
tions require that all persons in
the navy service show in them
selves a good example of subor
dination and that they aid to
the utmost of their ability in
maintaining good order and dis
cipline. i
"Continued disregard of this
requirement and failure loyally!
to carry out the intent of orders!
issued in connection therewith
cannot be condoned." I
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Thursday, March 16, 1950 5
Sec. Brannan Admits
Serious Tactical Error'
Washington, March 16 (IP) Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
testified today that he made a "very serious tactical error" by
proposing a top limit on government benefit payments to farmer!
in connection with the Brannan farm plan.
"My enemies used it to embarrass me all over the country,"
Brannan told a senate agricul '
tur subcommittee. Later hel
greed "opponents" was a bet
ter term than "enemies."
The secretary was urging that
congress adopt a trial run of the
so-called Brannan plan next year
as a means of controlling the
Irish potato surplus.
Under this, potatoes or other
farm products would be allow
ed to find their own market
prices without government price
upports. Production payments
then would go to farmers com
plying with controls, if necessary
to maintain their incomes at fair
levels.
Last year the Brannan pro
posal included a formula that
would have limited these gov
ernment subsidies to a top of
about $20,000 or $25,000 for any
one farm, in an effort to encour
age family-sized farms.
Senator Aiken (R., Vt.) noted
that the plan for potatoes did
not contain this formula to meet
complaints "that one, two or
maybe a dozen potato farmers
got several thousand dollars of
supports."
Brannan smiled and remarked
he had called attention of con
gress last year to a "suggested
formula." He termed this f
'very serious tactical error."
Both the senate and house re
jected proposals to approve the
Brannan plan last year even on
a trial run basis.
The subcommittee has two
different potato control bills be
fore it. One, introduced by
Chairman Elmer Thomas (D
Okla.), would include a trial
run of the Brannan plan.
The other, sponsored by Sen
ator Lucas (D 111.), would use
the present method of price sup
ports but with rigid provisions
for production controls. But it
still would support prices by
means of government purchases
instead of the Brannan plan
production payments."
Captain Brown
(Continued from Page 1
Brown, Millctt, Morris and
Carr were defendants before the
court of inquiry, which heard a
half hundred witnesses during
18 days of sessions between
February 3 and February 28.
Fechteler said no serious blame
was "considered as attached" to
Ens. Elwin R. Harris, of Nor
folk, Va., the Missouri's assis
tant navigator, and therefore no
disciplinary action was taken in
his case. Harris, who was plot
ting the battleship's position the
day of the grounding, was named
an "interested party" in the
court in inquiry proceedings.
One Bright Note
One bright note was disclosed
by the inquiry and Adm. Smith
took note of it thusly:
The engineering watch of the
USS Missouri at the time of the
grounding proved extremely
alert. When confronted with an
emergency without any prior
warning of approaching danger,
they met this emergency effi
ciently and expeditiously. The
engineering plant of the Mis
souri was shut down in a com
mendable manner without ser
ious damage."
The Big Mo, the nation's only
active battleship, ran aground
off Old Point Comfort while
trying to run a secret electronic
range. She remained stuck on
her sand shoal for 15 days and
was finally refloated February
1 on the fourth attempt.
At the concluding session of
the court of inquiry February
28, Capt. Brown made a state
