the United States will be examining pots and pans and
other home equipment to find what there may be of alum
num that is battered, leaky, broken, worn, or unnecessary
and can be given up for defense.
It is a week when tens of thousands can i take part in
America's defense program either cmtnbubn or by
collecting the metal now most urgently needed for air
plane construction and other munitions-making uses
Civilians in this way can help bridge a Pjh
developed between aluminum production and defense
neeQuite a bit of censure has been tossed here and there
about an aluminum shortage but to no great purpose.
The Aluminum Company of Amenca has shown willing
ness to increase its production and divert its sales i from
normal channels, but the quick expansion of
program has outstripped all ordinary expectations of de
mand. Independent companies have stimulated Produc
tion, and the C. I. O. Aluminum Workers' union now has
proposed a plan for bigger output.
Current production is at the rate of about 700,000,000
pounds a year with capacity for 100 000 000 pound. . more
under construction. Beyond that, the Off.ce of Produc
tion Management has just recommended government con
struction of seven plants, under five different company
managements, to raise the total production to 1.400 000
000 pounds a year. During the period while additional
capacity is being organized the collection of scrap alum
inum can be of tremendous assistance.
Most who give up a treasured cooking pan would
like, of course, to envisage it skimming through the air
in the fuselage of a bombing plane. The transformation
is not quite so simple as that. Scrap aluminum might
find its way into a tail skid but hardly into an engine
casting. Virgin aluminum is much more workable for
parts that require exactness in alloying. But the scrap
aluminum may be useful for parts of gun mounts, pistons
for an armored car, or utensils for an army kitchen in
this way releasing an equivalent amount of new metal
for airplane manufacture.
Thus, indirectly if not directly, the discarded frying
pan can become a flying pan
1941 LiB CROP
WASHINGTON, July 28 (AP)
The agriculture depart
ment reported today the 1941
lamb crop was the largest on
record, totaling 34,949,000 head,
an increase of five per cent over
the previous record crop of 1940
and 13 per cent more than the
ten-year period from 1930-39
average.
The increase over 1940 was
largely in the west north central
states.
The department said the
rather sharp increase over last
year was a result of an increase
In the number of breeding ewes
and a record percentage of
lambs saved.
The crop in the 13 western
sheep states was placed at 22,
723,000 head. The number In the
to-called native states those
east of the Rockies and Texas-
was reported' at 11,826,000 head,

The department's estimate by
states of the 1940 and 1941 lamb
crops, respectively, included:

Pepper Urges
War Warning
If Japs Move
WASHINGTON, July 28 (UP)
A United States senator called
on the democracies Saturday to
warn Japan that another aggres
sive move would mean shooting
in the Pacific.
Sen. Claude Pepper, (D-Fla.),
who sometimes speaks first on
important foreign policy moves,
urged that course as high gov
ernment quarters forecast the
economic strangulation of Japan
within a year on the premise
that the democracies would con
tinue their economic blockade of
the island empire.
Advised of reports that the
Japanese might be moving to
ward Thailand, Pepper told re
porters: 1 think that we ana tne Orn
ish and the Dutch and the other
nations Interested should say to
the Japanese ,in certain and
solemn words 'this: 'Next time
you move, ships and planes load
ed with guns will be across your
path. If you attack we shoot'."
A responsible government
authority on Far Eastern affairs
said that Japan's economic 'struc
ture could not stand for long un
der the burden of being cut off
from trade with the United
States, the British empire and
the Netherlands colonial empire.

are ye my disciples indeed; And
we shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you tree

Qyr PaULHALLON
WASHINGTON, July 28
w While this government Is
calling loudly for national unity,
It is furnishing daily live exam
ples that it has not been oblo to
achieve much within Itself,
It may not be crucially Im
portant that a cabinet office ac
cuses senator of near-treason
and the senator retorts tho cnbl
neteer is too old to do his job.
Or that Ickes is loose again and
calling names and cinrlng right
and left, even against District o
Columbia motorists for emitting
too much smoko from their ex
haust pipes, paradoxical though
that may seem. In an enlight
ened ago, everyone recognizes
such things as politics, not nec
essarily clean or Indispcnslblc
politics, but relatively unimport
ant to national defense.
The serious evidence of mud
dled governmental dissension re
doubles when a public break bo
tween Dofonso Leaders Hender
son and Knud.scn is followed Im
mediately by such a similar
squabble as Mr. Ickes Is stirring
up now with Leland Old.t. chair
man of the federal power com
mission. The Issue Is whether
one or the other Is going to get
control of tho Job. There Is
nothing of the old public versus
private power Involved. Both
are public ownership advocates,
Ickes wild, Olds moderate.
TWO STORIES
As the Ickes advocates tell it,
he planned to Issue a typical
I Ickeslan blast against the power
commission, but the commission
learned of it. rushed a report to
Roosevelt containing a hastily
prepared hodge-podge program.
Mr. Ickes Is not one to let a
sharp word go unspoken merely
because It Is late. So he blasted
anyway after the report was out.
calling it a hodge-podge.
The Olds people tell It differ
ent. This is their story: Mr.
Olds began a study of the power
situation last January when he
became convinced a shortage
would develop. The head of the
OPM power section then wos do
ing nothing. Ickes was doing
nothing. His own controlled
power policy commission was
doing nothing, Including lis coun
sel, Ben Cohen, who went to
London advising Ambassador
Winant.
Mr. Olds worked out a com
plete survey of needs, finally
concluded it about a week ago.
But t week before it was con
cluded, Ickes heard about it, and
decided something must be done
immediately under his jurisdic
tion.
A squad of former security ex
change commission attorneys
now working lor Ickes wontea
to make him power coordinator.
(The word "coordinator" may
yet assume a meaning in this
defense program equivalent to
that similarly coy term "liquida
tor" developed earlier in both
Russia and Germany.) They
asked Olds for information on
shortages and what should be
done. Olds, apparently unwise
in the ways of the Washington
world, sent it all over to them.
They feverishly prepared from
it, an Ickes plan.
But before this Ickes' plan
could be bared to the world,
Olds rushed his plan to the
White House. A new OPM
power expert, (who had replaced
the one who did nothing) ap
proved the FPC plan and urged
FPC to go ahead with it.
This put Mr. Olds streaking
down the field with the boll to
ward a touchdown, whllo Mr.
Ickes sat on his back, complete
ly blocked out of the play. The
only thing he could think of to
say was: "Hodge-podge."
GOAL SCORED
Mr. Ickes Is going to say
much more than "hodgo-podgo"
or even "fudge," when he learns
that Mr. Olds not only scored
the touchdown, but apparently
has kicked the goal.
Mr. Olds has been meeting
significantly on the sly with
Jesse Jonet, holder of the RFC
! money bag. He arranged to get
RFC loant irom mr. jones io n
nance his program. The expan
sion Is to be undertaken by both
private power companies with
RFC money and by the govern-
