AS Shortage Grows :
BY SILER FREEMAN

The copper situation appears
10 be getting steadily worse
and Donald M. Nelson's War
Production Board has ordered a
nationwide plant-by-plant sur
vey of some 80 primary fabri-
Gators of copper by the

The intimation is that there
has been some evasion OF the
priorities orders.
The survey is the third in the
metals field and will be carried
on by a force of attorney-eXam-
inerS loaned to the WPB by the
federal trade commission. They
will confer with company Off
Gals and study receipts of virgin
copper and copper scrap, as

inspection will indicate the
points at which vitality needed

Red Cross Urges

Officers of the local Red Cross
chapter last week received the fol-
lowing telegram from Chairman
Norman II. Davis at St. Louis, Mo-.
THE bombing of Pearl Harbor,
Honolulu, Manila, the invasion OF
the Philippines, the submarine at
tacks in the Atlantic and Pacific,
have dramatically brought home to
us the cruelties of this war. Wher-
ever our heroic soldiers, sailors and
airmen are so valantIy defending
our soil, there also you will find the
flag of the Red Cross unfurled along
side the Stars and Stripes. Red
Cross men are on every front. Funds
are urgently needed to keep intact
these front lines of mercy. The
enemy respects neither holidays nor
Week-ends. The Red Cross war fund
should be pushed to rapid over
subscription. Partnership in this
time of need gives all the people
