Three members of the house (
committee on appropriations—
Stefan of Nebraska, Carter of Cal
ifornia and Raubaut of Michigan,
have been on the western coast in
specting federal prisons which in
cluded both McNeil Island near
Tacoma, Wash., and Alcatraz, near
San Francisco. The committee’s
report to the full committee on ap
propriations will include sugges
tions regarding possible savings in
the next appropriations for our
federal prison system. Members
of the committee indicate that our
prison population is growing in
spite of many paroles and dis
charges.
The Pacific Northwest is boom
ing as a result of our national de
fense program. Vancouver, Wash.,
is especially booming due to the !
completion of the first unit of a
new plant of the American Alum-:
inum corporation which is already
turning out large quantities of
aluminum. Five additional units
are to be constructed and about i
700 men are to be employed. When
completed, the Vancouver plant
will be next largest to the one in
the Tennessee Valley which is said
to be the largest in the United
States. These plants are regarded j
as national defense plants and a
strict regulation has been inaug
urated against visitors in order to
eliminate danger of sabotage, j
Much of the aluminum is going
into the manufacture of airplanes.
_ I
Believe it or not, we have about
ten years of raw ore on and under
the ground for the manufacture of1
aluminum and there is no danger of!
any shortage of this material at the j
present time. Gigantic electric!
power supply is necessary for the i
making of aluminum and locations;
of plants to available electric pow- j
er supply is necessary for the mak
ing of aluminum and locations cf
plants to available electric power
is the first consideration. Bonnes
ville power supplies the Vancouver
plant.

Submarines have sunk too many of
the vessels which must be replaced
if a steady supply of material is
to go to England. Vancouver and
Portland are competing for a ship
