RECORD Carnation Homestead Madcap, a three-year-old" heifer with her first calf, recently broke, the world mark for production of milk and .butter fat with 81,908.4 pounds of milk and- .< 1,216.6 pounds of butterfat in her first year of production at Seattle, ? Washington. i " I Committee which brought to light | Shortly afterwards, the Office of i n rl??ii 4 r n >i ar n,n il|. n ^x n -, -? ? *?? ? ? rjoauction Management announced locations of eight new aluminum plants to produce {he additional 600* 000,000 pounds yearly. This will in crease nation's capacity to lr 400,000,000 annually, which is abodl I the estimated production of Ger-: I by 1048. ? ? y'rl The recommendation* were based on. a report of the Federal* Power Commission and the Power Section of the Office of Production Manage ment and were made after a notion wide servey of power supplies for aluminum ami after consultation with the Department of the Interior, the Tennessee Valley Authority and public and private agencies. Hearings before the Senate Com-, mittee brought forth some serious charges. Secretary Ickes bluntly as serted that the Aluminum Company of America was seeking to maintain its monopoly with little regard to the nation's need for the vital metal which it produces. . He charged the company with "recalcitrance" in cooperating with v the defense pro gram and blamed the present short age upon its optimistic claims about production. Subsequently, officials of the Aluminum Cbmp&ny pointed out that it had already doubled and would soon treble its 1988 output and was spending more than $200, 000)000 of its own money and has offered all of its technical resources to the Government. Bequests for additional electric power were denied and officials failed to designate pow er and locations for requested plant expansions. ? The Senate's Committee's report, submitted by Senator Mead, con cluded that the Aluminum I Company "had convinced the Offic i of Pro duction Management of tiu adequacy of the supply in order to avoid the poaaibility that anyone q)se would go into a field which they had for so many years successfully Monopoliz ed* The Committee said the QFM ad mitted it had no real plans for the production of the-600,000,000 pounds needed and that the OPM . has "not only not encouraged, but actually discouraged research - and experi mentation m the use of alternative processes for the production of alum inum from lowgrade bauxite or other sources such as al unite."
