tions.
Some observers expressed the be-
lief that the failure to bid in SUM-
cient quantities for the Nays copper
requirements constituted a deliberate
attempt on the part of industrialists
to break down the Walsh -Healey act.
Specifically. the labor sections Of the
act forbid employers to work en-
ployes more than 20 hours a week
without payment of overtime. where
they have contract with the Gov
ernment.
The Navy declared an emergency"
need in making the copper purchases.
The contracts call for 2o0,0 900 pounds
each from the Kennecott Sales Corp.
of New York City and the Calumet e.
Hecla Co. Of Boston. The Kennecott
price was l2.l75 cents per pound and
the other 122o5. The total price was
said by the Navy to exceed $4,000.
Building Plans Threatened.
The Navy said the difficulty in OBJ
tanning copper had threatened to OBJ
struct the Nays building program,
since copper Is used In munitions, ships,
engines and equipment.
The shipment from the Kennecott
Corp. is for delivery to the Washington
Navy Yard and the other to the navy
yard at Portsmouth, N. H.

ment advertised for 2.600,0 pounds
of copper, but when bids we're to be
opened, on two occasions. no bid was
submitted. One firm wrote in the
latter time and informed the depart
ment that there is a shortage of cop
per and 1t was unable to make de-
liveries. but submitted no figures.
Some observers believe the failure to
submit bids is due to the lucrative for
Ngn business occasioned by the Span
ish civil war and the war scare in
Europe. Some explain that the Gov
ernment drives hard bargain, that
contractors are required to submit to
rigid inspection and post bonds. and
that they prefer to deal with private
industry, especially in more prosperous
times.
Other Purchases Affected.
Whatever the explanation, and no
one really seems to know all the causes.
the Navy has been unable to purchase
alcohol, machine tools, copper, oil and
steel in the ordinary course of busi-
ness in SUFFICIENT quantities at the
time it called for bids. While it is
true some bidders submitted figures,
the Navy was unable to accept them.

by the Walsh. Healey act or for some
other legal reason. The oil and alco-

steadily pushing the capitals Defend
GERS along the road before them.
q Suddenly at Pozuelo, the insurgent
commanders said. the Socialist re-
ssistance seemed to crumble.

combined assault of the northern and
ssouthern wings of Gen. Francisco

s2rom Las Rozas and then 4 miles east
ward toward Madrid was described as
sone Of the greatest marches on the
ssiege front in many weeks.

had advanced steadily from Las Rozas,
capturing a continuous string of
chalets and villas in the fashionable
