The plant, covering some 2000 acres just north of Plattsmouth at the junction of the Platte and Missouri rivers, is the largest' in the nation devoted to the produc tion of urea and nitrogen fertilizer. It will be one of three plants now operated by Allied. Others are located at South T.int, Ohio, and Hopewell, Va., the latter two devoted to nitrogen products.

The appointments were dis closed at a board of directors meeting here Thursday noon. The group has been working as a unit for several weeks, how ever their appointments were not made public until today. ,,'Through the office of the Chamber Manager, the commit tee has contacted The Solvay Process Division of Allied Chem ical and Dye Corporation of New York, offering the services of Chamber. "Your generous offer to assist us in any way you can is appre ciated and, undoubtedly, when we become more active in the area, we will have occasion to take advantage of it," Dr. M. F. Fogler, vice president of the di vision noted in a reply to the committee's letter. 14-Year-0ld Admits Thefts A fourteen year old Platts mouth youth, with two previous arrests, has admitted to Sheriff Tom Solomon that he was re sponsible for the break in at the John Grebe residence on May 24 in which approximately $70 worth of articles were re moved from the home. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Grebe, who were here on vacation froi Portland, Oregon at the time, were owners of the lost property. Solomon said the youth also admitted slashing screens at the home of Mrs. Ann Taylor on Lincoln Avenue the same day. He faid the boy had attempted to enter the Taylor home. Juvenile proceedings have been filed against the youth, whose name was not disclosed.

It is not known when Keen time activities will be resumed. Mayor Woster fcIn Hospital Mayor Clement Woster is re portedly somewhat improved at uiarkson hospital m Omaha where he was taken Tuesday following a heart attack. He reportedly rallied after being quite low Wednesday. cation of the plant had not been decided. Tests of soil, wells and water will get underway in the areas within the next six weeks. Other studies of contour, loca- j tion of dikes, and pump tests on water availability must be made, in addition to core drilling for foundation specifications. Dr. M. F. Fogler, executive vice-president of the division, said the production of nitrogen fertilizer and urea for use in this area was equal to the ad dition of 3,500,000 acres of farm land j terms of pr0duction. I.o- cation of the plant is only the beginning of a new era of farm and business prosperity in this area through the use of nitro gen and urea, both as a fertilizer and livestock feed. Study of the present location has been carried on for several years. Decision to locate the plant near Plattsmouth jelled early last August after a study revealed an abundance of wa ter, natural gas, acreage, trans portation and availability of labor in the area, Mr. Riemer stated. He added that Allied was coming to this locality with the intentions of being "good citizens." In full production the new plant will employ upwards of 450 persons. During the con struction period employment is expected to exceed that figure considerably. Officials stated there was no danger of explosion in the man ufacture of nitrogen products and there would be no offensive odor. Tremendous amounts of water are needed for cooling purposes only. River transpor tation was not important. In addition to urea in crys talized and pebbled form, the plant will produce anhydrous ammonia and some urea-ammonia solutions. Crystalized urea also is used as a basic ma teria in the plastics industry. The plant could be converted to the production of nitrogen explosives. The net yearly production of the plant, 61,700 tons of nitro gen will be used almost en tirely in Nebraska, Kansas, the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa, Mr. Riemer said. It will be sold to fertilizer and feed blending firms and then distributed to farmers. In addition to Mr. Riemer and Dr. Fogler, other Allied officials present included John M. Gas ton, Jr., W. R. McCann and W. S. Colvin. Hosts at the Fonte nlle were John F. Merriam and Ellsworth Moser.
