    ft '?·Jf ^ SCRAP IRON DEALERS ron erickson 10/21 The president of the national Institute of Scrap Iron and Steel has pledged full support to the beautification bill signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on Thursday. Harry S. Marley of Syracuse, N.Y., told delegates to the institute convention that the new bill "should receive our support and assistance," during a session at the Sands Hotel,where the convention is being held. Marley, who was called on for advice during both Senate add House of Representative hearings on the measure, said the scrap iron and steel processing industry was prepared to immediately move forward with a plan to improve plant and yard sites. The new program, entited "Project Greenscreen" will be conducted on a national basis with the accent on fencing and landscaping. "To insure that we're going at this in the proper way, we have enlisted the aid of the American Society of Landscape Architects," Marley said. "Already a great many members have begun formulating plans for dressing up their property and getting grass and trees underway." Continuing on the topic of beautification, Marley agreed that many persons are not really aware of what a scrap processor does. "It seems that much of the public believes we are the people who have acres and acres of old automobile hulks stored along highways and in car graveyards," Marley said. "Actually, as far as we are concerned, we wish we did own these hulks so we could process them and send them to the mills.
