As rival A.F. of L., C.I.O., and independents moved in, started membership drives, jurisdictional strikes set off sparks. Most inflammable spot this week was at Boeing Aircraft Co., in Seattle, Wash. There an A.F. of L. union, scabby with Communism, had expelled a leftist group, who resentfully switched their affiliations to C.I.O.

Reynolds also is starting on a 60,000,000-lb. plant in the lumbermill town of Longview, Wash., where Bonneville will furnish power aplenty. Now Reynolds is confident that his 100,000,000-lb. output (by next July) plus Alcoa's 690,000,000 will take care of defense needs, adds: "We do not share the sudden and surprising hysteria as to an acute shortage...
