Get Top Priority

Munifions Board to Spend $600 Million

By JIM G. LUCAS pps-Howard Staff Writer

Seri) k WASHINGTON, July 5—Uncle gsam’s stockpiles, after being slighted for. three years, have a No. 1 priority. In the next 12 months, the Mupitions Board will spend twice as much for strategic and critical materials—3$600 million—as it has spent since the war. Negotiations already are under way. In addition: ONE: The State Department has signed agreements with Italy and Ireland—agreements it says

may be regarded as typical of] those to be signed with all 17 &

Marshall Plan countries this week —giving the United States access to strategic materials overseas. Editor Heads 9iiice -

TWO: The Economic Co-opera-tion Administration has set up an office of strategic materials headed by Evan Just, editor of the Engineering and Mining Journal. THREE: Attorney General Tom Clark has ruled the Commerce Department's office of industry co-operation can sponsor voluntary allocations to our stockpiles of a part of the strategic materials produced each year in this country. The Italian agreement, signed a few hours before appointment of ‘Mr. Just, binds that country to “facilitate procurement” of

materials produced there “which are required by the United States as a result of deficiencies or po-/ tential deficiencies in its own re-| sources.”

Increase Production

Italy contracted to promote increased production of stockpile materials within her own borders and to “remove any hindrances to the transfer of such materials” to the United States. Among other things, Italy agreed to set up schedules of strategic materials she can furnish for our stockpiles, deliver a “fair share” of them, tell us in advance how much she can increase production and agree in advance that a stipulated percentage of that increase will go to us “in consideration of assistZee furnished by the United es.”

Printed Special

Mr. Cox printed a special edition in which he went over ilhe|} whole background of® the situation. “Men of Vision Are Needed,” he entitled an editorial. He reported that a group of progres-| sive candidates would be offered at the town caucus next week. | From then on the Journal backed the “progressive slate” in news columns and editorials. The insurgent ticket won. Mr. Cox continued to print his views as to what the town needed in the way of fire protection. The board's first action at its first meeting this year was to authorize hiring of a professional fire chief and two full-time drivers for the fire department. It voted additional pay to volunteers who showed up for practice sessions and alarms. It appropriated funds to build a new gravity water tank to supply the pressure # formerly lacking,” and to install water mains in sections that had none.

Idea Pays Off Already the precautions have justified themselves more than once. One striking instance came when a backfiring motorcycle sprayed burning gasoline over the side of a frame house. The newly improved fire department turned out and saved the house. Damage was, estimated at $2000. Mr. Cox estimated that under the old system the fire would have gotten out of hand and done at least $15,000 damage. Mr. Cox is a typical small town editor, and the Journal a typical - ~ ”
