THE CAPITAL JOURNAL'
FIVE DEALERS
It's Just Junk to Most People
But Scrap Metal Is
Old Cars, Stoves
Among Items
In Pile
By BEN MAXWELL
Capital Journal Writer
Sure it's junk. Bui junk is not
without value. In (act, from 10.000
to 12,000 tons of scrap metal, ship
ped out of Salem annually, is junk
At prevailing prices this old metal
has a value of around $400,000.
And no one, even in this interval
of inflailon, would say that $400,
000 is exactly junk.
Every user of metal in this lo
cality contributes ultimately to
the scrap pile. That swank car of
1935, once the family pride and
joy, is now junk. Your old Iron
cook stove is also Junk. The old
ice box that kept your home brew
chilled in the 1920s has long been
junk. Look at the next gondola
railroad car you see being loaded
with scrap. Look closely. You'll
find nearly everything metal
there, from bed pans to differ
entials. Yellow pages of Salem's phone
book list five persons who arc
dealers in junk and the same num
ber concerned with scrap metal.
This Capital Journal writer lately
interviewed three of these dealers
to get a better understanding of
the local scrap metal picture.
Kline Estimates
Sam Kline, Salem scrap metal
man for the past 34 years, men
tioned that he shipped about 1500
tons of scrap from Salem yearly
and considered that 10,000 to 12,
000 tons for all dealers was a
reasonable estimate. Most of
Kline's scrap goes to Oregon
"Steel mills in Portland where it
is smelted down and manufac
tured again into products such as
plates and angle irons used in
construction fields. Sam pointed
out that no iron ore is mined In
this locality for smelting and that
steel products made in this region
are based on scrap metal collect
ed and delivered to the mills.
Both railroads serving Salem
handle scrap. Oregon Electric has
lately moved five cars a week.
Southern Pacific presumably
handled as much. Besides these
common carriers, a lot of scrap
Is moved to Portland hy trucks
owned either by the junk yards
or by collectors.

CHAPTER 1
Solving Micro - Dot Puzzle
Chapter 18
Ninety-one persons were con
victed of spying against the United
States from 1938 to 1945. And the
shame of it was that 64 of them
were American citizens betraying j
their own country.
The greater number worked for ;
the Hitler government because of j
loyalty to Germany. A few others!
were mere adventurers. A few
were recruited by threats of death
or injury to loved ones held by
the Nazis. A few became enemy
agents because they saw a way
to easy money.
The Nazis tried desperately to
establish an espionage and sabo
tage apparatus in the United Stales
to cqu;il the spy ring organized
before World War I. But this lime
the FBI was alert to the threat.
One enemy agent was caught
with a box o( ordinary-looking
safety matches. Most of the match
es were just that, but four o( them
turned out lo be tiny pencils which
wrote invisibly. Messages were

Enjoys Business
W. H. Harris, a "johnny-comc-lately"
in the local scrap metal
fraternity who enjoys the business
because ofits diversity, mentions
that a lot of so-called mild steel
scrap springs, crank-shafts and
like is, now in demand by regional
electric steel foundHries. Steel
scran, says Harris, is elassiiied
as No. 1 and No. 2. Basically the
No. 1 stuff is heavier per cubic
fool and less bulky, therefore less
expensive for smelters to handle
efficiently. .No. 2 scrap may be
just as good mctallurgically, but
it is more bulky and some of it
needs to be baled before it is
smelted. (Baling. Harris under

Holmes Slated
For WU Talk
Gov. Robert D. Holmes has been
secured as the main speaker at
the 1957 Oregon Federation of Col
legiate Leaders conference on the
Willamette university campus,
Feb. 8-9.
The purpose of the conference is
to enable the leaders of Oregon
colleges to mutually discuss prob
lems of college leadership. The
forthcoming conference will be the
first in two years, although the
group has been functioning since
1947.
Fourteen Oregon schools will be
represented, and approximately 10
leaders of each college student
body will attend.
Willamette students working as
committee chairmen are George
lloyl, Portland; Dean Bishoprick,
Woodhurn; Norm Dyer, Newberg;
Steve Mason, Chemult; and Wil
lard Bunney, Vancouver.

This was the secret of the dots,
a triumph in photography.
ND98 Ilcneges
Discovery of the micro-dot
secret opened a door through
which the FBI got onto the trail of
espionage agents and their con
federates, a trail that led through
the United States nnd South Amer
ica, and helped the FBI break up
a German espionage ring in Mex
ico in cooperation with the Mexi
can government.
One of the most successful dou
ble agents developed by the FBI
had the code name of NUM. He
was operating an import -export
husiness in Germany when he was
recruited for espionage hy t h e
Nazis. Like the others, he was
schooled in secret writing, tele
graphy and codes, and given in
structions reproduced on the easily
hidden microphotographs.
One day in 1941, a Nazi official

"You will go lo Uruguay . . .

Phil Steinbock, an oldtimcr in
the Salem scrap business, explains
that rust on iron Is not objection
able to smelters, that rust, which
is iron oxide, somehow seems to
enhance the smelling process. Phil
now ships three cars of heavy iron
and one car of light scrap each
month. Much of his iron comes
from farms and old mill machin
ery.
Shipments to Japan
In recent months relaxation of
federal restrictions has allowed
scrap shipments to Japan. Most of
this is baled or unclcancd, unstrip-
ped scrap. The demand for this
metal abroad may account to a
considerable d6grcc for the pres
ent lirmness in the Western scrap
market.
Portland prices for scrap range
up to $47 a ton for the best grade
of heavy, cleaned Iron. No. 2 stuff
is less valuable by a third or less.
Wall Street Journal for Jon. 21,
quoted No. 1 scrap at $63 a tun.
But that price was the mill price
at Pittsburgh and not in Salem or
in Portland, either.
A farmer with a busted up har
row for junk may not know the
Pittsburgh quotation but the big
outfit supplying lots of scrap, you
can dci your Douom dollar, does
know the price and deals shrewd
ly with the junkies on that basis.
And when the local boys, making
truck deliveries to Portland out
lets, don't like the price offered
they, too, 'gypsy" around a bit for
a better quotation.
Some scrap dealers appear to
take It as it comes and sell it by
the same token. Others meticu
lously sort for the best price avail
able on clean stuff. Cost iron goes
here. No. 1 and No. 2 steel to
Portland, lend to Seattle, brass to
California and copper and alum
inum where the market for the
best grade is highest. Dealing in
scrnp metal is a cagey business
and those who hang on and pros
per are not lacking in foresight
and perception.

INCOME TAX TIPS
Deciding on Joint Tax Form
Important, Can
When you have determined
which teaerai income x mm
is most advantageous, your next
step if you are or recently were
married likely should be to deter
mine whether to file jointly or
separately.
Most couples save tax money via
the joint return instead of the
separate one. This is true because
the tax is figured -on a joint re
turn as though hubby and wife
each had half the total income.
This income-splitting may place
the couple into a lower bracket.
But, beware of exceptions, for
they may prove costly.

Some other factors to remember
in deciding whether to file jointly
or separately:
1. Husband and wife may file
a joint return even though one
has no income nor deductions.
2. A joint return can be filed if
the taxpayers were husband and
wife on the last day of the tax
year or on the date one spouse
died, provided tne survivor aoesn t
remarry during the year.
3. Spouses who were divorced or
legally separated by the last day
of the taxable year, or on the
date one spouse died, cannot fib

they had was an interlocutory
decree.
4. Spouses filing separately can
change to joint return at any
time before the limitation statute
expires generally, within three
years from the due date of the
return. But after the due date,
they can't switch from joint to
separate returns.
5. Filing separate declarations
of estimated tax does not preclude
filing a joint return, or visa versa.
6. The spouses who file jointly
must have the same taxable year
(except in cases of death.) If
the tax years are different, per
mission must be obtained from the
commissioner of internal revenue
to change to the same tax year.
7. If the spouses use different
accounting methods, they may still
file a joint return, provided their
accounting methods clearly reflect
income.
8. Joint returns may be filed on
form 1040-A, short form 1040 or
long form 1040.
9. On separate returns, if one
spouse itemizes deductions, the
other must also itemize and can
not file a short form return nor
claim the standard deduction.
10. If one spouse dies, the other
can get split-income benefits for

must maintain a household which
is the home of a child for whom
the survivor is entitled to claim

Naturally, if the survivor remar

Over the large, paned window ,
very fine, very sheer ivory-colored
ninon curtains would be
nice if the same shade in a heav
ier fabric is used for draperies.
These should be made with a
graceful swag edged in loop
fringe of the same color. . . .
Now let's paper the walls over
the ivory dado with a rich, red
flocked wallpaper of traditional
damask design, giving the walls
the feeling of being fabric-covered
in velvet. ... In the center
of the room we'll place a Duncan
Phyfe table with shield D3ck
chairs covered in lipstick red an
tique satin. The two host chairs
should he painted bone ivory to
keen the room's balance light in
feeling. . . . Tall, silver candela
bra on the beautiful mahoflnny
sideboard, with a smaller match
ing pair on the table at meal
time would be lovely. ... A
large crystal chandelier hung at
the standard height of 30 inches
above the table with matching
wall sconce at either side of the
window would add sparkle to the
room. . . . Before we leave let's
set the table with Spodes Jewel
dmnerware. from our china de
partment, placing it on heavy,
ivorv-colored lace mats. Tall
stemmrd eoblets of crvstal and
a low arrangement of fresh, red
roes in a crvstal bowl would add
a last crowning Jouch.
