Expansion of the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corp ration Class
“B” Mining Loans is expected to
be aproved by Congress in the
near future Class "B” mining re
lates to the strategic metals, ac
cording to advices received by
Harry G. Watson, secretary of
the A'aska Miners’ Association.
It is understood that Represent
ative Henry B. Steagall, Demo
crat of Alabama, chairman of the
House Committee on Banking
and Currency, has conferred
with Chairman Jesse Jones of
the RFC and that Steagall will re
port this bill to the House very
soon. The bill is then expected
to be quickly passed.
Will Build Tin Smelters
Initial conferences have been
held in Washington with a view
to building tin smelters in this
country. Participating in the con
ferences were Jesse Jones, Fed
eral Loan Administrator, repre
sentatives of metal concerns, the
State Department, Defense Com
mission and other agencies.
Under present plan American
nonferrous metal concerns would
build smelter to treat Bolivian
ores, with financial aid to come
from the Federal Government.
It was pointed out that British
smelters, on which this country
largely depends might be thrown
out of commission or made in
accessible by the war in Europe.
This action ties in with the re
cent creation of a corporation to
buy 75.000 tons of smelted tin
in the Far East —approximately
one year’s supply.
The RFC has announced the
purchase of 6.000 tons each of
antimony and chromium in its
program to build up the nation’s
supply of strategic and critical
materials.
.Mundt Amendment Opposed
The House has refused to with
draw its insistence upon the
Mundt amendment to the Stream
Pollution Bill. The vote came on
a motion by Representative Jos
eph Mansfield Democrat of Texas
that the House instruct its con
ferees to withdraw their insist
ence to the amendment. After
an hour of debate the motion was
voted down on a roll call vote of
154 yeas to 199 nays. The Mundt
amendment was sponsored by
Representative Karl E. Mundt,
Repub.ican of South Dakota.

OF THIS NEWSPAPER
The Senate has taken no fur
ther action on the measure and
■unless ihat group instructs its
conferees to agree to the Mundt
amendment the bill will die in
conference with the end of this
session of Congress. The Senate
cannot take any vote on the
Mundt amendment unless the
Senate conferees take it to the
floor of the Senate and thus far
they have refused to do so.
The amendment is opposed by
r. fang interests.
Drastic Nature of Bill
Debate on the House floor dur
ing consideration of the Mans
field motion centered around the
"drastic” nature of the bill and
the endeavor to prevent “new”
sources or pollution of streams.
Opponents of the Mundt amend
u... i contended that the provi
sions of th- proposal would ser
iously handicap industrial expan
sion and growth. Representative
uv r O. Bland Democrat of
Virginia called attention to the
fact that under the Mundt am
endment every addition to an es
tablished industrial establish
ment and every new' connection
on a sewer line could be inter
preted as “new” pollution and
subject to regulation by the Fed
eral government He also called
attention to the fact that the
Mundt proposal w'ould provide
no period of adjustment to take
care of situations which have de
veloped through long years of
i community and industrial
1 growth.
Divided Enforcement Authority
Representative Mansfield also
pointed out that the Mundt
amendment was objectionable be
cause it divided authority for en
forcement. Without the Mundt
.amendment administration of the
measure would be entirely under
the Public Health Service; with
the Mundt amendment it would
be divided among various author
ities throughout the country.
However, supporters of the
Mundt amendment, backed by
“wild life” groups throughout
the country remained in the ma
jority in the final vote. The next
step will probably be a further
meeting between the Senate and
House conferees.
MUSSOLINI DOES STUNT
ROME, July 29 '/Pi — Italian
Premier Benito Mussolini put his
German cavalry mare over the
hurdles today before 45 foreign
correspondents so they might see
how fit he is.
After 10 minutes of strenuous
horsemanship, he reined in his
mount and turned to the ground
correspondents and asked in Ger
man:
“Am I sick, weary or tired?”
The query required no answer.
