Ellsworth Letter _____ ___
Washington, D. C., October 23, 1943
—Apparently the fuss that has been
so effectively stirred up by the mem­
bers of Congress from the states of
Oregon and Washington regarding
the development of a domestic source
of alumina-frofr»-ctay plants may be
approved in the .near future. The facts
are so compelling fn favor of this de­
velopment. however, that it seems
also a certainty that this report, un­
official as it is, must be correct.
(Since,the above was written in
Washington the project has been
given an O. K.)
' X
It is unfortunate but true that de­
cisions both for snd against the pro­
duction of aljunlna-from-clay have
been kicked around Washington for
more than six months. When the
various war agency committees snd
the light metal division of WPB had
finally been cleared, the question was
up for final decision by the WPB
itself. In June, the three proposed
plants were approved. Then, during
the summer came word that the pro­
posed plant for the Northwest was
denied because of the manpower sit­
uation.
Back in Waahington after the re­
cess, members of Congress were in­
form«! that the ;nanpower trouble
was not the real reason for stopping
the alumina-from-clay development.
It was then stated that all three
plants were denied because they
were not needed. Mr. Wilson (Act­
ing WPB) told us in the heat of the
discussion last week that the plans
had not only been denied once, but
three times, by his Production Execu­
tive Committee. The members of the
committee were present when he said
it, by the wa^. Now they have ap­
parently seen the light. I hope so.
