 COPPER PRICE
Big New York Outfit Re. fusing Under 9lla-
 Is Above Market

NEW YORK, Feb IA. = Phelps Dodge Corporation. major copper producers, is refusing to sell the metal in the domestic market for less than 1-2 cents a pound. The current price is 9:25 cents pound, the generally prevailing level which has been in effect since October g. 1925 when the price was raised from g cents
 The new level if generally adopt ed would be the highest price for domestic copper since April 19, 1881.
 Initial raise Tn the price of cop per was credited to the large amount used in munition manufacture, the Italo- Ethiopian struggle giving im- petus to the metal. Kennecout, AL aska big copper producer, opened last summer after long shutdown and is producing regularly now.

Move to Revanlp Federal Set-Up
 Hits Opposition

WASHINGTON. F'eb l4- The of the record" story of what hap pened in the Senate Rules Commit tee on the Byrd resolution calling for reorganization and simplifica- ton of the Federal Government is illustrative of how cautious and touchy Administration leaders have come to be on this subject
 The Virginia Senator, whose gov- ernment philosophy is founded on a "pay-as-you-go' basis, has declar- ed that my senatorial career from now on is dedicated to drastic re- organization and simplification of the Federal government through abolition of useless agencies and con- solidation of overlapping bureaus un- til there is relief"
 His resolution looking to this end met with stubborn opposition when first called up in the rules commit tee Byrd was told frankly by one prominent Democratic member of the comittee that from the party's standpoint this was no time to be talking of such things in view of the coming national campaign
 Byrd countered that the purpose of his resolution was not to criticize, but that it was introduced purely as a constructive move.
 Thus the matter stood. At one time the difference of opinion be- came so pronounced that an out right threat was made to refer the Byrd resolution to the Partys policy committee in the Senate where it was almost certain to be shelved, at least for the time being.
 A compromise finally was effect ed. Opponents of the resolution agreed to let it be reported out of the Rules Committee provided Byrd would agree that between now and the elections in November all ses- sions of the proposed select commit tee to be set up be closed ones and all findings be held in committee until after that time
 The Byrd resolution, which yet must be approved by the Senate, pro- yides:
 Vice President Garner shall ap- point committee of five, composed of three Democratic and two Repub- lican Senators,
 The committee is authorized ito make full and complete study of the activities of all Federal Agen- cies to determine whet ther they should be coordinated or abolished; :;
 The committee will make its first report and recommendations to the Senate at the beginning of the 1937 session;
 The sum of s5o,ooo is allowed for expenses.
 Byrd's move is nothing new in Congress. Repeated attempts along the same lines have been made in both houses for years, but with little success. However. in view of Byrd's s pledge to make it the one big thing in his Senate career, together with the fact he had marked success along the same line as governor of Virginia. tangible results may be forthcoming.

CONFLICTS TO CONTROL AIR
 ROUTES NEAR
European Combine to Ous1 U. 5. from Competition
 Said to Be Brewing

WASHINGTON, Feb. Warn ing against an impending interna- tional race to control trade routes of the air is voiced by the National Ad- visory Aeronautics Committee in its annual report to President Roose- welt.
 The report holds that the United States preeminent place in scientif ic aircraft development is being threatened seriously by many other i-ationS.
 The publication of the report is al- most coincidental with word from Europe suggesting combined compe- tition against the United States for trans Atlantic airlines.
 The committees report says the general trend in aircraft develop ment is toward larger airplanes, in- creased wing loadings, and engines of increased horsepower.
