Flatly denying charges of Sec retary of Interior Ickes, I. W. Wilson, production vice presi dent testified today that the "Aluminum company (of Amer ica) has done everything within its power, and more" to aid the president's defense program. If a shortage of aluminum ex ists for airplanes and other vi tal defense needs, Wilson said that the aluminum company could not be blamed. He said that the company had furnished more of the metal than its own estimates and that Secretary Ickes had denied its requests for additional electric power at Bonneville dam. . . FRUIT AND PRODUCE STRIKERS GET RAISE Portland, Ore., June 17. W Striking employes of the Pa cific Fruit and Produce company returned to work today under terms of settlement which Ransom Meinke, attorney for the firms, said provided for a 16 per cent wage increase for the AFL warehousemen, with hours remaining at 45 1-3 hours a week. The previous wage was $30 weekly. 1 Washington, June 17. (P Interior Secretary Ickes told a senate committee today if history records the present war as "lost, it may be because of the recall trance of the Aluminum com pany of America." Testifying before the special committee investigating the de fense program, Ickes said the company had worked to prevent aluminum production by other companies. "It is as perfect a monopoly as ever devised by man." he de clared during questioning by Chairman Truman (D.-Mo.) Too Polite "We could get more aluminum if we weren't too polite," Ickes added. Ickes said the aluminum com pany "would prevent the dissem ination of the facilities of alum inum, regardless of the conse quences to the United States, in order to get all the aluminum sources under its control." Ickes told the committee that the Bureau of Mines had de veloped a method of making aluminum from alunite, a ma terial found in Utah and Wash ington. He suggested that In building aluminum plants the government should refrain from making them so large that they could be purchased later "by oniy one Dig and wealthy com pany." Competition Hampered A large company might even buy the plants for the purpose of closing them and keeping them out of competition, he as serted and added: "Throughout its existence, the Aluminum company of America has bought out or hampered by an means in lis power, every formidable competitor that ever threatened it." Ickes said that additional aluminum fabricating plants should be located in the Pacific northwest to process ingots pro- auceo. in mat region. This would eliminate cross-hauls, he de clared, adding that "we must take vigorous action to avoid the necessity of taking metals and materials on joy-rides back ana forth across the country." DAlSHVESSELS T OF TO BE TAKEN BY U .S. Washington, June 17. (IPv The united States placed on the active service list yesterday six Danish freighters, first of a ref ugee fleet of 84 foreign ships to be taken over by the govern ment under provisions of legis- Quolity that enhances summer enjoy ment... a finer, more flavorful Iced tea. Jrf w lation congress enacted two i weeks ago. The new law permits the gov eminent to operate foreign ves sels upon payment of "Just com pensation" to the owners. Most , di me snips io De taken over have been tied up idle In Amer ican ports for a year or more because of the European war. The commission said it would take over other idle foreign bot toms as quickly as possible, These include 28 Italian and two German ships. Whether this action would result in the release of additional cargo ton nage to Great Britain commis sion officials declined to say. Besides the six Danish ships taken over, there are 33 other Danish ships in American ports. French vessels affected number 11, including the luxury liner Normandie. Other refugee mer chantmen include two Estonian, one Lithuanian and one Rumanian. E T Moscow, Idaho, June 17. (JF) A youth who gave his name as Douglas Howell, 19, of De troit, was In the Latah coiJnty Jail today because he failed to notice that a Moscow theater proprietor held his pipe in his hands while he was being tied up. The youth, charged with rob bery of the theatre, was captured at Pullman, Wash., seven miles away, 15 minutes after Milburn Kenworthy, theater manager here., had been tied up and his safe robbed of more than $400. Sheriff George K. Moody ex plained, Kenworthy slipped his pipe between his wrists as they were being tied and when the robber left, slipped the pipe away, leaving slack enough to free his hands." Rushing out a side door, Ken worthy saw the robber leave in a car with a California license and called two friends nearby to follow the car. The friends beat the car to Pullman, and when it pulled Into town, Policeman Art Campbell and Ed Sims stopped it. iLEGION AUXILIARY GIRLS CAMP 5 10 STATE Five members of the Junior American Legion Auxiliary will leave June 22, for Girls" State at Silver Creek near Silverton.

Jean Peterson, governor of 1940 Girls' State sent hi. sage, "we learn a lot in school about the theory of government, but Girls' State mads th... l. sons real to us by giving us aciuai practice m government. Our experience helped us to de-. velop personal leadership. We girls of today will become wo men of tomorrow, so If we be come Imiitnmwl , the responsibility of leadership now. we win naturally do this in our Government urhn w. come of age.
