NEW YORK, April Metal cir
cles reported today price ceiling
of IL cents a pound for copper
would be discussed in a meeting
Wednesday at Washington of de-
fense and mining officials.
Domestic copper from primary
producers has held at II cents for
several months. Some mining men
regarded the market as virtually
"pegged" there by informal Gov
eminent pressure and threat Of
heavier imports of South American
copper.
Fixing of a maximum price for
lead, however, put the metal trade
on the alert for similar action on
copper. Lead producers we're re-
quested to refrain from selling above
the prevailing level of 585 cents a
pound, New York, and $40, st.
Louis.
The main effect of a ceiling on
the copper market was expected to
be elimination of premiums" In
the custom smelter and outside
markets. While the major pro-
ducers have quoted II cents, Gus

The State Department an
nounced late today that the S. S.
Arkansan, an American vessel
flying the American flag, was
struck and some Of her plates
pierced by shell fragments dur
ing bombing raid over the town
of Suez Thursday night.
The department said no casualties
have been reported as yet among
the crew of 80, which included SO
American citizens. one British SUBJ
jeCt and one Dutch. The ship is
owned by the awaiian
Steamship Co. of San Francisco and
New York, and was operating be-
tween New York and Red Sea ports.
The department said the vessel,
which was built in 1921 and has q
gross tonnage of 6.997. left New York
on July 10, 194l. She arrived at
Port Sudan on September 5 and
left for Suez on September 8, ap-
parently arriving there some time
before the bombing.
There was no explanation how the
ship might have been hit by shell
fragments with sufficient force to
pierce her plates during an aerial
bombing raid. There was some con-
lecture the report may have meant
bomb fragments, since the State De-
partment said the official who sent
the message was not a military or
naval expert.
The news added another chapter
to the story of sea warfare which
inspired President Roosevelt to
broadcast Thursday night that the
United States Navy would shoot
first at any Axis warships sighted in
areas deemed to be American de-
