In a long-distance telephone conversation, ne said tne Kt(J wanted to carry on "until we find out whether the plant can te operated on an economically sound basis or not." The plant need not necessarily close just because Nigel Bell, di rector of the WPB aluminum di vision, said it was not needed to meet war requirements, said Cordon. He has planned a meet ing with Bell today. it only means tnat wpb would cease to sponsor the pro ject as one immediately needed to meet war requirements," he stated. "WPB might even recom mend that the plant be operated to determine its value in some future need." Cordon declared, "The final boss in the matter is congress." He said the WPB might decide to continue the plant as a gov ernment experiment to deter mine the use of Oregon clays as an aluminum source.

Galloway has re ceived a very interesting letter from her husband, Capt. Wayne K. Galloway, stationed in Casa Blanca with the A'l'C, describing a boar hunt. The letter is in part as follows: "At 3 a. m., we got up to go hunting, and what a day it was. I'll try to write about it. "Wo picked up our French guide and friend and started out for the 'bush' about 5 a. m. Wo got to the Arab's, who is the friend of the Frenchman, about 8 a. m. and, after m u c h cere mony, were ushered into his tent homo. It was almost as romantic as the stories we have read. "The tent is low and big, made from black wool, lnsidu were rugs and very little else except the household goods nil cov ered with rugs. The tent is par titioned into two parts with wool cloth. The smaller room is for the women, 1 only saw one wom an there, though the French women said there were nine present. The one woman I saw was the first wife who was about 40 years old. She was privileged to be unveiled and to serve us our food. The chief had another wife, a young woman, who was not allowed to be seen. The chief was about 50 years old. "The chief's sons were around and also his brother who had his wives there. "They treated us royally. When we went into the tent, we took off our shoes, as customary, and sat around on the rugs on the ground. We were served mint tea and a kind of pancake with goat s butter and honey. There was a large stack of the cakes all swimming in this but ter and honey. The cakes were all on one plate and we all ate from one dish with our hands. Messy sounding, isn't it? Actual ly it isn't as bad as it sounds. Also, no one else ate until we were finished because we were the guests. Then the chiefs ate. Then the young men nnd the women ate what is left. Seems as though 1 m learning a lot about how to handle women! "After finishing eating, there was conversation in Arabic; we couldn't enter in very much. Then they led a lamb for our dinner up for our inspection and approval and then killed it. "About 10:30 a. m., we left the tent to go hunting. This country we were in was hilly, but the Arabs run stock and farm on it. So we walked about six miles to a wooded ridge to hunt.

MILLER CO. the hike wo passed several more Arab tents and from each we would have a couple of Arabs and their dogs join us, until wu had about IS Arabs and 80 dogs. "We came to the ridge that was brushed over, It was about three miles long and one mile wide. Two Arabs took ore end and put us at strategic spots. The rest went to the other end to drive tho pigs to us, "I shot one big boar hog and passed a couple because I could not see to shoot In the brush and because I was shooting toward tho Arabs. Wo got four nice ones in all, Tho Arabs killed one. "Incidentally that was good. They had one of those old ornate cip and ball affairs Just like all pictures show they shuot. They wounded this pig Just a little, not-enough to hurt his fighting nhllltv n Kit Wrtl II, Ami, tlw.l rtpn,nA ll.n '....1 J.... !..,.! ' ...upjv. Klin niiu i,ivi:ii null the brush after 'Mr. Hag.' Ho grabbed him by the hind foot to keep him down and by that time another Arab had joined us and was helping number one Arab rassle 'Mr. Hog.' I wanted In shoot tho hog but, by gestures, they told mo 'no,' "After qulto a struggle they got tho hog's mouth tied shut with a piece of grass. "Then they proceeded to lake his hind legs and, wheelbarrow fashion, m a r c h him to where they wanted to kill him. Saves packing the boar. Wish wo could handle doer the same way. 1 low ever, tackling a wild boar bare handed Isn't my idea of fun. "Anyhow, wo gathered up our hogs, loaded them on a burro and started that sU-milc-walk back to the Arab's tent and our car. "Upon arriving thpro we found the Inmli nil nicely roast ed over a chiucoul camp f I r o. They cut up the meat and mere ly drop It on the coals and I was very surprised to find that there was llttlo or no ashes on It when It was done. They are past mast ers at camping out, "Well, wo were served roast lamb and a kind of non-raised bread, I enjoyed every bite, too. A (U i' wo finished that, the Arabs ale. They then brought in a hugo bowl of lniiib ami peas cooked with a kind of chill pep per. Ileal good. Then tho Arabs iilo after us agiiln. "Then they brought a great dish of what they call "coosh eoosh." It's some sort of a flower seed, cooked with mutton and seasoned. Tastes good but very strange. All this was followed by conversation and mint tea. "Our leaving was also qulto a ceremony, of good wishes, etc. "All In all, It was tho most en tertaining and unusual day I have ever spent over hero. "We came homo dog tired, but happy. Wo gave tho Frenchmen the boars nnd proceaded to hit the sack, near exhaustion," Mrs. Cialloway and son, Ken neth, resldo at 718 St, Francis lit tho homo of Capt, Galloway's pill'IMltS, NOW AVAILABLE IT.
