PORTLAND, Oct 7 W Of
ficials handling the current scrap
drive in Oregon said today tha
35,000 tons reported by Claude
Sersanous, state chairman,' was
computed on the basis of reports
from the first seven counties in
tha state to announce totals.
They said that the first seven
reported almost 8000 tons col
lected since September 38.
Since soma of the counties re
porting are relatively small and
since they do not include the
state's most populous county
Multnomah Sersanous figured
1000 tons per county for all 38
counties would be reasonable.
This would make 38,000, tons
but to be on the conservative side
he trimmed this estimate 11,000
tons and reported 25,000 tons
already collected.
Actually, the scrap drive men
aid, the collection probably runs
over 88,000 tons. They believe
there are 25,000' tons in Port
land scrap heaps alone, cone of
wnicn has been reported vet.
They also pointed . to ' reports
from Salem yesterday indicating
a total or more than 10,000 tons.

JUNK DEALERS
HELD VITAL TO
The importance of the Junk
dealer In the national scrap
metal drive, an integral part ot
the war effort, was emphasised
here Wednesdoy by W. W.
Bushnnll, salvage inspector for
the WrB auto graveyard divi
sion. In recent public statements
the government, conscious that
any misunderstanding of the
position of the scrap dealers
might slow up this effort and
cripple war production, has ex
plained that the scrap dealers
have a vital (unction in getting
scrap from the country to the
mills.
There are more than 70 dif
ferent classifications of iron
and steel scrap alone. Metal
scrap comes in as many differ
ent sizes and shapes ss there
are pieces of scrap.
If the steel mills had to ac
cept scrap directly from the
salvage depots, they would
have to do a sorting and grad
ing job at which junk dealers
are more skilled because that
is a part of their business. The
scrap dealers must meet gov
ernment requirements In doing
this and there is a large field
force out to inspect the salvage
and yard conditions. The scrap
dealers operate under price
ceilings, and they cannot hoard
scrap. '
Bushnell explained that the
government has asked every
scrap dealer to set. a monthly
goal of 33 13 per cent-in ex
cess of his average monthly
production for the first half of
the year. M and S Bag com
pany of Klamath Falls was this
week given an award of merit
for making this quota in Sep
tember, Bushnell announced.
There are two junk dealers
and six auto wrecking yards In
Klamath Falls, Bushnell said.
They Tiave Suned up their oper
ations to the nationwide acrap
effort
