Texas-

DALLAS, Nov. —
Henry J. Kaiser today said he
is considering building an
aluminum plant in Texas.
He called for an expanded
national economy with mbi-c liberal
depreciation provisions for capital.
"What this country needs is a
$.'100,000,000,000 economy and an
accelerated depreciation’ law. Then
this nation’s induatrles will really
go places,'' Kaiser said In an In
terview,
Thu industrialist stopped In Dal
las en route to Oakland, Cullf.
Kaiser said Texas had three
essential requirements for an
aluminum plant.. He Hated raw
materials, power and demand. If
business conditions turn out as
bright as ho beliovus, the Kaiser
Co. “will have to build a plant
here,” he said. • ' i j J . | .
Kaiser said his company and
others would lie helped immoasure-
ably if congress would enact an
“accelerated depreciation law.”
He Said a 20 year period for de
preciation is now required. A flex
ible depreciation period similar to
the wartime 5 year period, he said,
would tend to increase risk capi
tal and permit industrial expah-
sion. I j J. ' '| i"

Washington (AP) i The

Texas and Louisiana to deve
lop a strain of dairy cattle
that will produce more milk
in the hot weather zones.
Cross breeding of poqplar thor

to the project. , t!
Dr. Ralph E. Hodgson, assistant
chief of the Agriculture Depart
ment’s Bureau of Dairy Industry,
said today experiments arc under

Station at Jeaneretto, La.
“It is our hope to develop a
strain of dairy cattle ! that will
have strong resistance to pro
longed and intense heat,” comment
ed Dr.' Hodgiion.
“There’ Is nothing spectacular
about our work, ami it will take
