McCONNELL HEADS SCRAP MOBILIZATION COMMITTEE
J. Dan McConnell of Cone
Mills Corporation has been appointed head of the Scrap Mobilization Committee by C. Fred
Carlson, chairman of the Small
Industries Committee.
Serving with McConnell are
E. L. Faulconer, James Poole,
Leo Kelleher, Sr., R. Sanders
Williams, J. D. Wilkins, Jr.,
Guy M. Berry, Duvall Craven,
John Lipford, Charles Wilkins
and Colvin Leonard.
The newly formed committee
has set up initial plans for a
check of possible scrap metal
sources in this area. The source
of this metal will be mainly
from commercial and industrial
establishments in the form of
dormant scrap such as obsolete
machinery, equipment, beams
and plates.
The need for iron and steel
scrap, essential to our steppeu-
up production of steel for defense, has become so critically
urgent that no effort can be
spared which will produce scrap.
What was originally a shortage,
is today an emergency. The very
success of our defense production program will depend upon
our ability to solve the scrap
problem.
A series of letters sent to
manufacturers in this area are
planned by McConnell and his
committee to start the program
off. These letters will ask every
user of metal to check his plant
for obsolete machinery, or any
metal objects that can be salvaged.
Are you a producer, buyer or
seller of steel articles being hurt
by allocations under the Controlled Materials Plan? The
shortage of scrap metal makes
it impossible for the mills to
produce enough to meet both
military and civilian needs. We
can all help. Dig to the bottom
of the pile at your place of business and get discarded articles
containing heavy metal, whatever the quantity, moving into
trade channels. Unless scrap
continues to move to the steel
mills, we, as civilians, will be
seriously squeezed and the entire defense program can bog
down. The need will continue,
and grow.
