MEDFORD" MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1943 PAGE SEVEN 15, OF SCRAP METAL Portland, Ore., Sept 15. flj.ro Robert M. Been, chief of the war production board salvage branch, appealed to the nation today to turn in 13,000,000 tons of scrap metal within the next fix months. Without this V scrap, Beers warned, war production may fall off. "A serious rap metal short age is now looming on the na tional horizon," he said, "and if it continues, a number of steel mills will be forced to shut down." Beers explained to the state salvage committee that scrap piles remained standing in Ore gon because mills used the scrap closest to inem iim. The Oregon metal piles' are now Deing reduced, he said. Eric H. Marks, deputy salvage chief, with Beers, commended housewives for contributing 46. 000,000 pairs of nylon hose and great amounts of kitchen fats. But, he added, it is possible for the kitchen generals to turn in S3 per cent more waste fats. . - Flaming Wreckage of 2 Huge Bombers Conceals Their Dead f - - -i ff SNA 1 l- k eal V . -a-' mkX-Af .s I Aetna TmUnhatoi Flaming and scattered wreckage of one of two huge Liberator bombers which enuhed m mld-alr near Fort Worth, Tex., Is funeral pyre of all members of the two crews.

(U.R) Shipbuilder Henry Kaiser today predicted that a father draft would probably have the effect of tightening an "already criti cal labor situation," and urged that government agencies con sider most effective use of man power as a criterion for award ing future war contracts. Drafting of fathers, since it takes men from civilian life and puts them in armed services. must necessarily cut down avail able labor. Kaiser declared. He said, however, that as yet his industries had felt no appreciable benefit from the war manpower commission's program to get fathers into essential industry, The test of any manufac turer's efficiency then must be Dasecj upon two points: The man power necessary for each unit produced and efficient utiliza tion of women who now form our most available labor pool," Kaiser said during an interview. I believe that a government program through which contract preference would be given to manufacturers qualifying highest on these factors would result in more full utilization of the man power now available as well as increased production. WHEAT HARVEST OVER; YIELD "FAIRLY GOOD" Threshing of wheat in the val ley is now practically complet ed, according to County Agent Robert O. Fowler.
