Show SECTION TWO PROVO (UTAH) DAILY HERALD" FRIDAY; -APRIL 24, 1942 PAGE - ONE i t ! r INDUSTRY WILL UTILIZE SILVER WASHINGTON. April 24 (U.E Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr., disclosed today that the administration is drafting draft-ing legislation to make newly-mined newly-mined domestic silver available to industrial user at the world market price. He did not outline any details of the ' proposed legislation, but said that "this would be a good time to strike off all silver laws." Under existing law, the government gov-ernment pays 71.11 . cents an ounce for domestic silver, and supports a world market price of about S3 cents an ounce. Morgenthau Mor-genthau declined at a press conference con-ference to say whether he thought 35 cents an ounce was a fair price for silver used by industry. indus-try. The treasury recently agreed to make available more 4han 40.000 tons of its hoard of idle silver to be used largely as a substitute for copper. Morgenthau saftl that this silver had not been released because the war production board, defense plant corporation and .the private companies involved, had not been able to agree upon which would be responsible to the government gov-ernment for the silver, which is to be loaned Instead of sold outright. out-right. The silver will be used as a substitute for copper bus bars, which conduct large loads of electricity. Morgenthau said he and War Production Chief Donald M. Nelson believed that the 30,-000,000 30,-000,000 . kilowatt of electricity in the bus . bars would prevent anyone any-one from stealing the silver.

Space being at the high premium it is in the war-bloated capital nowadays, the chapter is housed in a real stable and darned glad to get it. " rt's the town house stable of Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles and his warm-hearted wife, the former Mathilda Townsond. They donated the building to the AWVS. So now, some of the capital's cap-ital's swankest social fillies arc tethered for the duration in honest-to-gosh stalls and hay-lofts. HOLDS CLASSES IN FIRST-AID The ramshackle little stable with its mansard roof, eighteen gabled windows, mapsive chimneys and marble fountain Is something some-thing of a cross between a Tudor manor house and a wing of the British Embassy. There are ten rooms upstairs and ten stalls and a six-car garage below. In it, the AWVS training division holds morning, afternoon and evening classes in first-aid. air raid precautions, tire-fighting and switchboard operation in the upstairs and servants' quarters. The trained members of the organization put new recruits through their paces. Club groups and business girls keep instructors busy in three shifts of classes from. 10 to 10. The motor corps will have an office pretty soon in one of the two box stalls. Already itfhas the latest thing in ambulances to practice on a snub-nosed khaki affair, now housed where the Welles' town cars used to be. wPtm LA WUUULTULJ ii 1 No Power Restrictions Oprc)i 3 Wayi: from 110 vol, AC or DC... or flf-cortoiifd boMory.
