...settled), had a quick reply. It called the whole business a plan to subsidize operators of U.S.-owned aluminum plants. There is no reason, said Alcoa, why "Government-owned plants cannot be successfully operated if they are efficiently managed." But few outside of Alcoa shared Alcoa's optimism. Olin Industries has already shut down the DPC plant it operated, made no offer to buy. Reynolds Metals is dickering with the Surplus Property Board to lease some plants, but nothing has come of it yet.

At Atlanta's Black Rock Course-where a galleryite last winter offered Sam Snead a prewar ball for his match with Byron Nelson, in exchange...
Alcoa's own plants, and those it operates for the Government, now supply 92% of U.S. aluminum. The only other aluminum companies, Reynolds Metals Co. and Olin Industries, Inc., supply only a small 8%.
