PORTLAND, Aug. 1 OP) Sam
Husbands, president of the De
fense Plant corporation, and Sen
ator Cordon (R-Ore.) are hope
ful the Salem Aluminum plant
will not be abandoned.
"There are no facts behind
any rumor that the plant will be
closed, as far as we are con
cerned," Husbands, board mem
ber for the reconstruction fi
nance corporation, told the Ore-
gonian.
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.

Captain's Letter Tells
Of Casa Blanca Boar Hunt
Mrs. W. K. 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. During

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

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,"
