flower arrangements was given
this afternoon in the patio Of the

Copper Hearings
Hint Rift Between
S.P.A B. and 0. P. N,
Order for Investigation
Seen os Reputation
OF Lotter's Work
Bv THOMAS c. HARDMAN.

Public hearings on copper pro-
duction. instituted by the Office of
Production Mana cement at the
direction Of the Supply Priorities
and Allocatiors Board, may bring
to a head a reported rift between
S. P. A. B. and o. P. M. according
to opinions expressed in defense
circles yesterday.
Some authorities interpreted the
order calling for the investigation
as reputation Of the work done
or left undone-ln the copper field
by the o. P. NJ.
The o. P NJ. has been charged
with the responsibility of planning
and carrying out an integrated pro-
gram for the supply of vital ma
terials needed in the defense pro-
gram S. P A B, in directing
that copper hearings be instituted,
stated that there are current today
many conflicting stories and reports
on copper productiCn.'
Seeks Impartial Chairman.
1t requested o. P. NJ. to select an
Impartial chairman for the hear
ings from outside its own ranks.
Chester c. Davis. member Of the
Federal Reserve Beard and former
member of the old National De-
fense Advisory Commission has been
named to serve as the chairman.
S. P. A. B, policy-making body
which. though operating through the
o. P. NJ, answers to the President
ordered its executive director. Don

tember to utilize the facilities of all
Government agencies to speed pro-
duction Of needed materials, partic-
ularlv copper and aluminium
That S. P. A. B. had been dissat-
isfed with results, particularly in
the copper field, became known
some time ESQ. The copper hearings
are expected to begin next week,

6. P. A. B. made a move toward
the conservation of copper Yesterday
when it ordered the o. P. NJ. to
withhold priorities aid to new public
and private power projects unless 1t
can be shown that they are essen
tial to national defense or to the
public health and safety
This new policy directed that ev-

joined by indissoluble links of friend

Our proximity to the United
States and our duties of co-opera-
tion with them, because of historical
antecedents, for reason of loyalty
and by force of reciprocal prin-
ciples," he said, make even more
clear the circumstances which de-
termine this request for a legally
declared state of emergency, which
would permit the adoption of those
measures indispensable for the
preparation of this country in
short time and for the adoption of
the inevitable accords and agree
ments in the most discreet manner
possible"
Members of the opposition party
anticipating Batlsta's request for a
state of emergency, had announced
previously they would oppose such
a measure. on tie grounds 1t would
give the President dictatorial
powers.
Nevertheless, the general impress
sion in political circles was that the

der way, but placed a drastic cur
tailmeht on future construction of
power facilities.
In announcing the policy. S. P A.
B. stated that $500 tons of copper
will be made available monthly to
the Rural Electrification Admins
tration. up to a total of 10500 tons.
This. officials estimated, will enable
R. E. A. to complete all projects now
more than 40 per cent finished and
a number which are less far ad-
VanCed.
S. P. A B. intends reviewing the
whole program after three months
operation to make any necessary
adjustments, the board announced.
Public and private power projects
will be treated alike. it was said,
and the mere possession of a sub
stantial inventory will not allow
one group to undertake a project
for which the other is denied prior
ity assistance.
Duplication Barred.
During the emergency, neither
public nor private power bodies
may undertake projects which du-
plicate facilities Of the other, the
board ordered. adding that private
power companies may not take ad-
vantage OF inventories they now
have to pre-empt an area under
development by r. E. A.
All proposed power extensions,
whether by public or private COM
panies. and whether involving in
ventories on hand or materials to
be acquired. must be submitted to
o. P. NJ. for approval under the
new policy. Moreover, S. P. A. B.
held that however important it may
be TO extend feeder lines into un-
served agricultural areas, such ex-
tensions usually represent a Use OF
copper less essential than other uses
which should be satisfied first.
With reference to public and pri-
vate power projects which are not
now under construction and which
are designed for unserved rural
areas, the o. P. NJ. was directed to
prepare and present to S. P. A. B.
complete studies of power require
ments, copper requirements and the
effect of electrifcation on the in
creasing of farm production.
