Reverse Trend in
Aluminum Sought
Washington (UPI) Sen
ators from aluminum proces
sing states Friday asked seven
federal agencies to arrange
an early meeting to take "con
structive" steps to reverse the
downward trend in the do
mestic aluminum industry,
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson
(D Wash.) said Friday.
In a letter to the Secre
taries of State, Commerce,
Treasury, Interior, Defense,
and the Office of Defense
Mobilization and the General
Services Administration, Mag
nuson, Sen. Henry M. Jack
son (D-Wash.) and 11 other
senators said one-third of the
nation's productive capacity
in aluminum is now shut
down.
The senators said the shut
downs had been caused part
ly because of increased alum
inum imports "principally
from friendly countries whose
aluminum markets are ef
fectively closed to U.S. manu
facturers." Since World War II, they
sa'd, the domestic aluminum
industry 'has invested more
than two and one-half billion
dollars of private capital to
build primary and fabricating
facilities. Most of it has been
invested in futherance of
government mobilization ex
pansion programs, they added.

THERE'S NEVER BEEN A PAINT
LIKE IT BEFORE.,, fi
The original formula was developed in
1951. '
Fuller chemists, through know-how and
continuous research, found that by com
bining certain new "miracle" materials,
they could produce an exterior paint so re
sistant to wear, so amazingly superior in
every way that it made even the finest
house paint seem old-fashioned by com
parison. Two of America's largest chemical labora
tories tested and confirmed these findings.
