LaGuardia's Pot And Pan Campaign Outsourced To Junk Dealers
Washington, Nov. 4. The Office of Production Management announced that junk dealers, not Mayor LaGuardia, will lead the next campaign to collect old pots and pans from households. William S. Knudsen said the mayor erred by thinking the government would give collected items to dealers. Households will be paid prevailing prices for recyclable scrap, and collections will proceed through ordinary trade channels. Rosenwald criticized aluminum results as unsatisfactory.
