From Tuesday’s New York @ American, Will Arouse Nation to Great Ore ' - and Coal Resources of Region. Underwood Sees Federalßoard. WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—Out of the Temarkable work so far accomplished in Washington in behalf of Rome, Ga., as the site for the bhig $11,000,000 Fed eral armorplate plant have developed three questions of far-reaching im- Portance to the entire South. These questions have aroused all Bouthern Congressman to activity be- Yond the mere matter of locating the plant at some particular place: First—The integrity and avail ability of Southern ores in gen eral for the purposes of armor plate, Second—The supply of South ern coal and its quality. Third—The proper adjustment of freight rates as they touch the other two problems. Hearing that there might be some doubt in the minds of the Federal board considering the armorplate matter as to the availability of South ern ores for the purpose of armor plate manufacture, Senator Under- Wood, of Alabama, went beforé the board. He told it that there is no doubt whatever that Southern ores are perfectly adapted to armorplate burposes, and that they are of a quality paralleling the ores used in the great Krupp factories in Germany right now. Senator Underwood is an authority on steel, perhaps the very best in Congress, and what he sald about Southern ores in general in this con nection impressed the board pro foundly and favorably. Senator Hoke Smith also had as- Sembled a great mass of data on both Southern ores and coal, which at the proper time will be presented to the board. Judge W. C. Adamson, chairman of the Interstate and Forelgn Commerce Committee of the House, today Btated he very greatly favored Rome @s the site of the Federal armorplate plant and that he expects to do all he c¢an to push its claims. “I am sure this matter will be set tled on the merits of the cases made out by the various cities, and that is as it should be,” said Judge Adam son. “But I have been convinced Rome's claim is superb, and probably the best of any made or likely to be made, “I shall do all I can to impress her claims upon all persons to whom such knowledge would be heipful in reach ing a determination just to the Gov ernment and best for its big armor plate experiment,” Girl Skater Better Yolande Boyd, 14, dau%hrer of Mr, and Mrs. L.
