STEEL ILL
FOR SOVIET
Russian 'Gary' Rising Near
Mountain of Iron As
American Engineers Prod
20,0000 Workers in
Three Shifts Daily.
By Victor Kubank.
MAKIN-HTOCKMIBK, V. S. S. K.
UP) Hare, a thousand miles from
any cily of importance, the soviet
union is building one of the biggest
Kteel mills In the world.
Americans who have seen it de
scribe the place as "the Gary of
Kusaia." It is rising from barven
steppes in much the same manner
an the steel town at the, southern
end of Lake Michigan mushroom
ed amid sand dunes of northern
.Indiana.
A city is springing up here, too,
but thUH far the town consists prin
cipally of shacks and tents. ,
And os In World war days, when
military minds of the United Stales
looked to Clary as a life-saver in
case of disaster overseas, so the
soviet authorities are appealing to
the patriotic sen of It ussian
workers to hasten the Magneto
Korsk project to completion.
Par from Moscow,
From the standpoint of invasion
by a foreign army, the project
would be classed as "impossible."
U J.fl more than l.oon miles almost
due east of Moscow near where
.Siberia and Kuropean llus.il a
merge.
The MagnetoKorsk works alone
would constitute an important mil
itary vertebrae for soviet defence,
both from the east and west.
liut it is only one link in a chain
of such enterprises which the com-
munist regime has planned in the
I'nl region.
Other plants are being built or
are planned at Nljl-Tagil. Bakal
sky. inarsky and Kuznetsk.
Like most o the big projects
now under way in the union, Mag
netogorsk is being bossed by
American engineers, the Arthur O.
MeKee company of Cleveland hav
ing the contract.
Twenty MrKoe specialists are on
the Job, although the winter wea
ther here runs the North Pole tem
perature a close second. Uut with
SO, 000 men working in three shifts
if eight hours each, the Americans
nust Ignore the climate.
Finished ill
The huge metal plant is to ho
completed, according to' the' "five
year plan," .by 1933, but if work
continues at the present pace en
Kineers believe it will he in full
operation before that time. Two
of the big blast furnaces may be
ready for work by the end of 1031.1
While the Soviets may envisage!
the , uninterrupted production of
war materials here In the future. 1
the first orders to bo filled will ho1
Tor the transport service of the'
union. I
dly the end of 1!31 It is desired
that Magnetogorsk furnish 3r.0.000
tons of rails, 450,000 ions of beams. I
230,01)0 tons of assorted iron and,
steel and 100,000 tons of roller inm
for the immediate use of the rail-
ways, which even the most opti-1
mlstlc communist will admit are in;
a bad way now. i
Need More Metal.
. "More metal!" is the cry of the i
soviet planners In their five-year!
scheme to build "the world's great
est Industrial nation." So the Mag-I
netogorsk steel mills will he sur-
vnnnded hv factories Which will
haeten the conversion of its prod-j
UCtS.
' Nearby a number or machine
' building plants, including those ror
Industrial and agricultural ma
chinery, are to he erected.' Foun
dation work Is already under way
for chemical plants and some
smaller factories of the light in
dustry class.
The steel plant is nt the foot of
"magnet mountain." which is al
mont solid iron. No watcli can be
guaranteed to keep the right time
in Its vicinity and compasses arc
worthless. Preliminary estimates
place the mountain's content at a
billion tons of ore.

and collective farms aro being or

Magnetogorsk Is to get Its fuel

lion tons. Double railway tracks.
ore being laid between the steel
works and the coal mines.
Trains Are slow.
Tho railway situation, a in other
parts of the union, Is one of the
present handicaps of the projects.
A single track line now connects
tho works with Tro tsk on the
' Trans-Siberian railway.
There Is another single track
line to Kartali. but this Is of the
military field type and trains run
over it at only five miles an hour.
American engineers call It the
"slowept railroad In the world."
but a double track line alpo Is
