: By JOHN F. CRAMER z ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—The builder of 5000 extra . cargo planes, such as those proposed by Henry J. Kaiser, would need enormous volumes of critical raw materials. fr But his requirements would be relatively small When : matched against— Our own present production; ~The production of our North and South American allies; The additional production available to us if we are - willing to pay the cost of developing low-grade ores. i For. instance, the man who builds 5000 extra cargo - planes in the next 30 months 000,000 pounds of aluminum . our 1942 output as reported by

to produce 5000 extra cargo planes. It estimates the metals nécessary for ihe ‘lance themselves and for all the necessary new plants. The estimates on the planes ' themselves are based on a pound-by-pound breakdown of the critical metals in Glenn Martin’s huge fly= * ing boat, the Mars. This breakdown ‘ was obtained from the navy department. The figures on the metals for new plants were obtained ‘from competent engineers. The estimates in every case, are ‘very Jiberal.

Figure on Doing It Hard Way

In preparing them, it was assumed that the builder of 5000 extra cargo planes would have to “doit the hard way.” It was assumed, for instance, that there would be needed complete new facilities for the production and fabrication of aluminum, for building huge aircraft

_ engines, and for assembling the

cargo planes. In every case, due allowance was, made for losses indarred in machining and fabricating the -neces-

~ sary metals.

Based on navy figures, here are - the metals necessary for 5000 extra cargo planes: Steel (of non-electric furnace

+ grades)—not to exceed 25,000 tons.)

Steel (of electric-furnace alloy grades)—not to exceed 45,000 tons. Nickel—not to exceed 900 tons. - Chromium—not to exceed 1500 Magnesium—not to ‘exceed 10,000 tons. : Silicon—not to exceed 375 tons. Manganese—not to exceed 2200 tons. Cobalt—not to exceed 275 tons. Molybdenum—not to exceed 100 Copper—not to exceed 8000 tons. _Aluminum—not te exceed 175,000 tons. Metal Needed for Plants

Based on estimates of competent engineers, the figures helow are the metals needed to build and equip all the necessary new plants. These

would include:

1. ‘Complete new aluminum facili-

“Hes, including alumina plants, in-

got aluminum plants, a rolling mill,

2. A ‘complete new aircraft-engine plant to build 30,000 engines of 2000 horsepower—four engines for each flying boat and a 50 per cent reserve of spares. 3. Necessary aircraft assembly ~ plants—either the nine shipyards proposed by Henry J. Kaiser, or other Declines, There are ;the figures: Ordinary steels—not to exceed 170,000 tons.
