Old gates turned in for scrap. Soon to be added to the scrap pile is this huge wrought iron gate of the historic Friendship estate, Washington, D.C., which the government has taken over for a huge housing project. This is one of two large gates of the estate, which, along with a 400-foot iron fence, will add 40,000 pounds to the nation's scrap pile. Shown in the picture are, left to right: Robert C. Waldie, project manager, Defense Homes Corporation; Lessing J. Rosenwald, director, War Production Board (WPB) Conservation Division; Clifton E. Mack, director, Procurement Division, Treasury Department
