Pion Tremendous Increase P gK -
In Synthetic Wool Production
BY PETER EDSON atjjKL
NEA Washinrton Camapandent
TVrASHINGTON—(NEA)—Plans to increase U. S. production of syn-
— — thatic wools to a rate of 100- million pounds a year by 1953 are
now being considered by Charles E. Wilson’s Office of Defense Mobili-
zation. Present production is about four million pounds.
All of this production will be by private industry. No government
plants and no government financing are involved. ' '
Government priorities to obtain steel and other critical materials
needed to build the new plants will be granted. The government will t
*fso provide an ultimate market-for nearly all the* synthetic wool pro-
duced. The wool itself is considered necessary for the national de-
fense effort.
Half a dozen major U. S. chemical manufacturing companies are now
interested in synthetic wool production. Included are DuPont, Union
Carbide, Celanese Corp., Virginia-Carolina Co., American Viscose,
Montsanto and Chemstrand. The list may grow.
As far as the United States alone is concerned, consumption of nat-
ural wool, has been about three times domestic production. What wool
consumption the U. S. does not produce itself it imported from Au-
stralia, New Zealand, South Africa and the Argentine.
TN 1933 the average price of wool was 46 cents a pound. In 1945 it
was 75 cents a pound. Last March, the price for domestic wool was
>1.19 while Australian top grades brought $3.60 a pound.
By July, this top price had been brought down to $2.45 a pound.
The drop had been forced largely by stopping government purchases
for the Ameriear^defense program. By further curtailing U. S. pur-
chases, the price' may be forced down to $2.00. But this is still con-
sidered too high. Synthetic wool fibers produced at 50 cents a pound
could knock natural wool production right out of the market.
Since the end of the war, with consumption down, the U. S. has been
drawing largely on wool stocks. Existence of wool reserves in the
United States is what has forced the price down this year.
“ In another year or two, however, the American wool reserve will
be all gone. If U. S. demand for natural wool should shoot up in 1953,
about the time that European nations are back on their feet and able
, to buy more wool, the demand would rise and so would *
It is this long range picture that has made the U. S. Government’s’
Office of Defense Mobilization decide to push synthetic wool produc-
tion. An annual production of 100 million pounds a year would of
course take care of only a fifth of U. S. consumption,

HOMOSASSA, Fla. <U.R) — Ar-
chaeologists have gained new
knowledge of Indian life in Flor-
ida before the discovery of Amer-
ica by studying human skele-
tons, weapons, and pottery un-
covered by two fishermen along
the Homosassa River.
The Indian relies were found
in a sparsely-populated section
of the state near the Gulf coast,
and only a few miles from In-
dian mounds estimated to date
back to 600 A. D.
The fishermen found 100 skele-
tons, stone knives, arrowheads, Mrs. Willie Andcejczak ofMill
pieces of pottery and native r
beads. i
Two archaeologists of the state
park service studied the findings i
and estimated the pottery was '
made between 1200 and 1400 A. 1
D„ or probably a full century be- «
fore the first Spanish explorer |
set foot on the soil of Florida. 1
Not. far from Homosassa are i
Indian mounds that experts say i
date back to 600 A. D.
Archaeologists say they were '
used as ceremonial grounds By <
the Timuqua Indians. <
Sea food and deer seem to
have been the mainstays of their
diet.

7716 synthetic wools "have other advantages. 'They can be . made
wrinkle-proof, crease-proof and waterproof. The .fibers made from
coal or minerals are mothproof, mildew and rot proof.
With all these advantages, it is not believed that the synthetic fibers
'will completely destroy the market for natural wool. For specific uses,
best results are obtained by textile blends.
There are strenuous objections, however, to the development of an
American synthetic wool industry. They are largely political. On
the domestic political front, states where wool-growing is a major
industry are fighting this new threat of competition. 1
On the Internationa) front, it is claimed that a synthetic wool industry
will -upset the economies of the Wool-exporting countries. But in a
way, both domestic and foreign wool growers have brought this new
trouble on themselves by keeping their price too nigh.
