Copper Men Expect
South America 10
Help Meet Needs
Plans for Imports
Reported Favored
By u. s. Officials
BY the Associated Press.

By the AssoCie ted Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25-The cop
per industry is weighing the neces-
sity of tapping South Americas
rich mines to help fill huge domestic
and foreign orders for products, it
was learned today.
Defense needs, backed up by eX-
panding commercial requirements
and British munitions orders, re-
suited in record breaking demand
in September. Sales totals for Oc-
tober are also racing higher.
Dealers emphasized the present
capacity of the domestic industry
was adequate to fill current require
ments. Looking to the future, how
ever, many dealers saw the Gkell-
hood the industry's ability to cope
with more orders might be strained
to the breaking point.
Some observers said plans to bring
in South American copper had the
approval of the Federal admins
tration. Entry of foreign copper,
clamoring for market but damned
by a 4-cent-a-pound excise tax,
would act as a brake on higher
prices, it was said.
The President, it was suggested.
could cut the excise tax on copper
to 2 cents pound, which would
Immediately place foreign metal on
competitive footing with the domes-
tic product. Such a move was
viewed as improbable, though, until
the national elections are passed.
The major domestic producers OF
copper have not boosted their price
of IL cents a pound, fixed a month
ago, in the face of swollen demand.
This attitude was understood to
have been commended by Govern
ment leaders striving to check a
runaway price level.
In the custom smelter and resale
divisions of the. trade, however,
copper sold as high rs 1875 cents
a pound, or a premium of lis cents
over the producer level.

Contract Is Hailed
By Stock Holders
BY EDWARD C. STONE.


According to Government records,
the Mergenthaler Linotype Co. has
been awarded Army and Navy con-
tracts aggregatirg about $4,000 900.
AS announced yesterday, the latest
contract was awarded Wednesday
and amounted to s2,983.3OS. The
contract was for the manufacture of
fire control equipment
Previous to this award of nearly
100000 the Mergenthaler Limo
type Co. had already received sew
eral other contracts amounting to
about $4,000 900 in connection with
the Government national defense
program, these having been an
nounced by the War and Navy De-
partments at the time each was
awarded.
Stockholders will be elated over
this latest contract, the largest vet
awarded. The companys fiscal year
ended on September 80, the annual
report being due very sooon. This
report is not expected to reflect in
creased earnings from defense con-
tracts, at least not to any important
extent. Earnings in the coming
fiscal year, however, are certain to
be increased materially by the ad-
ditional business.
Mergenthaler stock is listed on the
Washington Stock Exchange, widely
held here, and is selling at $40

Benefits Are Many
Under New Reserve Act

Aitnougn the shortage of appro-
prlations has made it impossible to
maintain Naval Reserve oreaniza-
tlons in the numbers which would
De required in the event of general
mobilization, or to give the necessary
training to more than a small frac-
ton OF the members of the merchant
marine Naval Reserve, there has
been a general increase in the ef-
flclency. due to various steps taken
under the Naval Reserve Act. ac-
cording to the annual report of the
chief of the Naval Bureau of Navi-
cation.
Discussing the new Naval Reserve
Act, the bureau chief said the ac-
tivities of the various organizations
and individuals continued without
abatement during the period of
transition from the old to the new
law. Among the beneficial changes
already affected under the new law.
ne mentioned the following: The
squadron has superseded the division
as the basic unit of organization of
the aviation component of the or
ganized Reserve, thereby paralleling
the Regular Navy organization and
making for more facile administra-
ton. An increased number of pro.
motions to the grades of commander
and captain has provided the Re-
serve officers required in these grades
for mobilization and has afforded
well-merited advancements for many
officers of long and faithful service.
Transfers to the honorary retired list
on account Of age in grade, although
in many instances, he said, fraueht
with disappointment for the individ-
ual, will result in a Naval Reserve of
greater efficiency in that ages are
commensurate with required mobili-
zation duties, and a healthier flow of
promotion for the younger officers
will result.
Certain of the naval bureaus auth
orized to employ technicists and
scientists, in connection with the
prosecution Of work of such bureaus
have taken advantage of that provi-
sion Of the law which permits them to
utilize the services of Naval Re-
serve officers placed on active duty
for this purpose. A total of 35 Of
f1cers, he reported, were SO employed
In the course of the year, mostly in
connection with the construction of
both vessels and shore facilities.
He pointed out that under the
provisions of the new statute, avia-
ton cadets are to be commissioned
ensigns In the Naval Reserve, upon
graduation from Pensacola, and af-
ter three years Of continuous active
naval service are eligible to promo
ton to Eeutenants, junior grade.
They may, he continued, be required
to perform active duty continuously
for total Of four years and may be
permitted to serve in commissioned
grades for q total Of seven years.
Upon discharge to inactive duty, af-
ter not less than four. years service,
they receive q lump-sum payment of
$500.
