For Industry
Naval Commander
Outlines Situation
to Klwanis Club
Little hope of private Industry
obtaining any of the commodities
oh the Government's priority lists
was held out by Commander R.'E.
A. Lambert, head of the Procure-ment
Division of the Ordinance
Plant in Baldwin, who spoke last
night at the weekly dinner of the
Freeport Klwanl^ Club in the Elks
club house.. In fact, he predicted
the situation would become worse
as time went on.
Commander Lambert had prepar-ed
a list of seventy-five strategic
and critical raw materials of trade
^industry arranged according
/or America* fo Open
for ffrffmn'a Faff Season
to tnelr iniportance and availabil-ity
of supply. This was headed
by aluminum, but He" "said steel
and iron were on a list that top-ped
even this.
The commander showed how
magnesium, copper, nickel, and
cork were among the first ten list-ed,
though until the present emer-gency
arose -the United States was
supposed to have an unlimited
supply qf these articles.
He" also said that substitutes,
mich as sisal and henequin for
rubber, had Mbeeh Mated, But re-pealed
that the scarcity "oTni
thirteenth on ,the list, has resulted
In the building of smelters to pro-vide
this metal here. He showed
how since the last war the United
States had developed dyes, that
were. superior to those that used
to be Imported, and expressed the
hope that the stringency caused
by the present situation might
have a similar effect on other
commodities.
.Vice-president Clinton M. Flint
presided in -the-absence of Presi-dent
James A. Warner. It was
