the shortage Of non-ferrous metals
is "by all odds the most Immediately
critical problem in the whole field
Of raw material supply and has al
ready caused the restriction of pro-

This shortage, he explained, was

we cannot afford to get these metals

"The majority of the board has

gestion that this increase would
lead to new inflationary spiral of
wage increases in other competitive
industries. In the first place, the
amount of the increase is not sufn-
cient to have any such effect. In
the second place, the board has IN

to control that situation.
In a minority opinion, the en-
