Reopen Gold Mines to Get Zinc="Cinderella of War’
By F: Troe DENVER, Dec. 29.—Zinc, to use to protect roofs and w:. is a Cinderella of the war, Amid magnificent efforts « bys as. copper, no ore seems scarce too, or to have reali’ ¢ partner of other metals in needed alloys, As brass and | But it’s true: Much anxiety cent weeks has been directed building up our productiea of and to providing new mill ca; So anxious is the governmen zinc that it’s going to allow C: Creek miners to dig gold agai: vided the Golden Cycle Corp.

Zinc Penalized
It’s a tricky metal both to ocncentrate from the ores and t: reduce to the final metallic form, and the smelters which can hand e it are few and far between. Hence it is true that whil: the nation is crying for it, mines 0 cortain sections of the Rockies are penalized, not paid, if the coii:entrates they send to smelters «cntain zinc, and that the slag li ps of such smelters are, so to spe Kk, mines of 10w-grade zinc ores. There are thousand-mile streiches between the. smelters which axe zinc, and freight rates make it nove prohibitive to ship to them thai pay the penalties imposed by o har smelters. However, there seer Ww be no shortage of zinc smelter ci ty is in li capacity for reducing/ the zinc wo compact concentrates for ship :nt to smelters. Easy to Convert

U. S. GOAL SEEN AS WAR WEAPON
Desire to Ship Fuel Abroad May Prompt Ickes’ Plea For Longer Week.
Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The United States has more than 90 million tons of soft coal “akove ground,” mined and ready for delivery—about twice as much as is normal at this season, and much more than ever in statistical nistory. Still, Secretary Harold L. Ickes, as solid fuels administrator, is seeking to persuade John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, and
to agree on installation of a sixday working week of 42 hours in-
stead of the present 35-hour week.
But so far neither the miners nor the operators have been convinced of a need for greater produc:ion
y | when such great supplies of coal are
already visible. Some industry experts, seeking the reason for Mr, Ickes’ concern, have concluded that Mr. Ickes thinks it will be necessary. to ship large quantities of coal to Great Britain, Russia and Italy.
Ickes Keeps Neutral
No confirmation has been given to this speculation, but it is the unly explanation that the industry's experts have been able to suggest in view of the fact that present stocks are more than ample for present domestic needs, and that the present work week would maintain the’ surplus for normal demands. Shipping bituminous fuel to Great
| Britain would be in the nature of
“carrying coals to Newcastle.” But a serious coal shortage is known to exist in England.. Men have been detailed or recalled from the armed forces to work the mines. ! Russia, also a coal producer, is a possible user of American coal, because of large military demands on | its- manpower. Italy is reportedly | suffering from a lack of coal; and if that country withdraws from the
-lwar as an Axis power, American
strategists may find it wise to supply it with fuel. The international possibilities in {coal have not been mentioned by Mr. Ickes, who also has refused to take sides in the disagreement between Mr. Lewis and the operators
over the methods of installing a six- |
day week. Their point of concréversy is whether miners will be subject to penalties if they do not work on the sixth day. The officially stated reason for desiring more coal is that despite the large stocks now available the rate of consumption is growing faster than the stock piles and that a ' domestic fuel crisis may be produced through diversion of miners i other industries and the armed force

WPB_ Experimental’ Order Designed to . Help...
Small Stores.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 (U, Po. —Small business concerns—the kind | that serve suburban neighborhoods and crossroads, towns—today, res ceived a promise from the war Pro=
| duction board that in the: fature
they can expect a more ‘equitable distribution of dwindling stocks of furniture, clothing and ‘other consumers’ goods. The WPB has set: up eontrols over the size of stock inventories of large manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers which eventually will. force concerns like big department: stores to share their merchandise more equitably with smaller ones. and new stores, especially those opened in defense centers. Affected by the order, which becomes effective early next year, are stores and stock-carrying branches of manufacturers whose" individual annual sales total $200,000 or more. and whose inventories total at least $50,000. The only major expeptions on types of goods were foods and. petroleum products. WPB Chairman Donald M. Nelson said in explaining the order that it .’ was on an experimental basis and that the sales-inventory exemptions may be lowered to include smaller concerns. Other officials said that if the experiment does not prove wholly successful in distributing dwindling stocks to"all stores, even more drastic action is planned. A number of other “devices” for achieving wide distribution were un derstood to be already drawn up and ready to go into operation if necessary.
Affects 25,000 Outlets
The order is designed to prevent the larger stores from stocking up on scarce commodities, at the: ex= pense of smaller firms without the necessary cash or storage space to lay in large amounts of goods. . | Eaton V. W. Read, chief of WPB's wholesale and retail ‘policy section, who will‘ administer the program, said the order would not correct. present maldistribution of consums er goods, but would “prevent greater inequities that will occur next summer or next fall when we really begin to feel the effects of shortages.” The order was said to effect 25, 000 retail outlets, counting each chain system as’ one: firm, 8000 wholesalers and 12,000 manufactur-| ers. Read said the nation’s 4000 department stores have inventories 32 per cent higher than a year ago, and hold 15 per, cent of all retail inventories, although they “do only about 10 per cent of the total retail business of the country.”
Cites Example
The order becomes effective March 1 for merchants whose fiscal year for filing federal income taxes begins Dec. 1; on April 1 for those whose tax year begins Jan. 1, and - May 1 for those beginning Feb. 1. The inventory restrictions will he figured in this manner: i -A “normal inventory” based on a ratio between inventories and sales will be worked out. for each quarter of 1939, 1940 and 1941, and that ratio will be used as its present alowable inventory. The - following example was given by the WPB: “If a company’s net sales during the second quarter of 1939, 1940 and 1941 averaged $100,000, and if ‘its
. {inventory at the beginning of each ‘lof those quarters averaged $50,000,
then the company would have a stock-sales ratio of 50 per cent. Therefore, if its anticipated or projected net sales for the second quarter of 1943 amount to $120,000, its normal inventory would be $60,000.” - Merchants who report inventories in excess of normal when the order becomes effective will be. limited in purchases during the first quarter to an amount not exceeding onethird of the cost of goods sold during the preceding period. However, an additional percentage is allowed as leeway for shipping difficulties. In the first quarter, the tolerance will amount to 15 per cent of normal inventory in the Mountain and Pacific time zones and 10 per cent in the eastern and central zohes, and will decrease 5 per cent: after the first b guaper:
