Agencies in Shortage
Of Mica Supplies
BY the Associated Press,

by the Associated Press.
The Truman Committee COM
planned last night that under poll
cies followed by the controlling
Federal agencies, domestic mica
production in 1943 has been held
to 1927 ,436 pounds while 4,744,670
had to be imported, much of 1t by
air from India.
Mica Is a non-metallic mineral
used as an electrical insulator in
generators, motors, radio and radar.
The committee blamed the small
ness OF United States output on pol
1cies OF the Colonial Mica Corp,
which was set up by the Govern
ment's Metal Reserves Corp. to con-
troll the purchase and sale of do
mestlc mica, and the War PRODUCE
ton Boards mica section. It iden-
titled officials in both as having
previously been active in the mica
importing field.
AS a result Of these policies, the
committee said: (a) Several hundred
mines closed last year In North
Carolina, (b) Operations in New
Mexico were reduced and the corpo-
ration's Office in that State closed,
Co A number of South Dakota
mines ceased operations, and I'd
New England mines produced at
reduced rate.
The committee said the dominating
figure in Colonial Mica Corp. is
George Purcell, vice president, who
1t said was the first recommended to
the Government by Max A. Chap
man. British citizen, president of
the Mica Insulator Co., and Eugene
Mansell & Co., both controlled by
Associated Insulation Products, Ltd.
of London.
The committee recommended that
the Colonial Corp. eliminate dis
crlmlnatory practices" and take steps
to encourage domestic production
by relaxing specification rules. Al
policy Of imposing tight specifica-
tlons for the purchase of domestic
mica has resulted, according to the
committee, in the rejection of huge
quantities of stained and spotted
mica which could be used, and has
forced numerous mines out of
business.
