The Ogden air depot, Hill field, has issued an urgent nppea! for 10.000 workers immediately. Civilian personnel officers said they believed it would be impossible to find enough employes in Utah, making it necessary to import them from other states. Coal Miners, Too At the same time, the War Production Board has recommended to the War Manpower Commission that 350 coal miners be sent to Utah to relieve a "critical situation. Theodore Maughan, office director of the Utah U. S. employment office, said today, however, that it would be pointless to import workers into Utah if additional bousing facilities were not prepared. 'There are not enough accommodations in the Ogden area now, he said, citing cases of men who arrived to take jobs, found no place to live, and left within a week.

Tho process was described by Charles L. Gabriel, vice president of the Publicker Commercial Alcohol company of Philadelphia, which now controls it. The company, he said, desires to build a small test plant which would turn out 20,000 tons of butadiene a year. The war production board, however, has failed to furnish necessary priorities on materials, Gabriel testified. Ferdinand Eberstadt, WPB vice chairmun, ordered an investigation of the Polish process last year when he was chairman of the army and navy munitions board, it was brought out. The investigator, John M. Weiss, turned in a favorable report. Yet priorities have not been issued to permit the construction of even this small pilot plant, Paul Hadlick, counsel for the subcommittee, asserted. "There is a nigger in the wood-pil- e WASHINGTON, A some place that we havent able to discover, acting Chairman Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont., said. Maybe it's because the Publicker people want to build the plant with their own money and the government couldn't control it and close it down after the war. Gabriel said that a plant turning out 20,000 tons of butadiene a year by this process would cost only $2,778,000 whereas other plants have cost many times that amount. The Publicker plant would require much less in the way of critioal materials and equipment for which the synthetic rubber program is competing with the high octane gasoline and escort vessels program, he been added.
