Bridgeville Kiwanis

Mr.. Don Huber, District Manager
of the Diamond State Telephone
Company in Wilmington. was the
speaker at last weeks meeting OF
the kiwanis Club and many very
interesting developments OF the
telephone company were brought
out. Mr.. Huber said that when he
came to Delaware eight years ago
there were only 10000 telephones
in the state and at the present time
there are 10000. He stressed the
inability of the company to secure
copper and other needed equip
ment and that at the present time
there were in the neighbOrhOod OF
1900 requests for telephones, which
as yet they have been unable to
grant. He stated that due to the
! fact that the various offices OF the
I company had expanded just prior
! to the war they were able to carry
ia greater load and install more
phones than otherwise would have
been possible. Looking into the fu-
ture. he discussed the part that the
telephone company will play III
television and also discussed the
new equipment which is i'll opera

CPA

CContinued from Page D gument, he said. '"They accept the facts when they are caught"
 Brownell reported thatthe stop- order does not mean that construc- ton Is permanently halted in all cases. Many contractors start con- struction with the intention of rent- ing or selllny the completed dwell- ing to Q veteran, he sai. However, they fail to obtain an authoriza. ton setting a ceiling price on the project. These builders are ad- vised to seek prompt authorization from the Federal Housing ,Adminis. tration to complete the construction for sale or rental to veterans of world War II. Where such auth ization is obtained, the case is closed.
 Tn those cases where the con- struction Is not suitable for vet- erans' housing either because 1t involves Summer cottages which can not be occupied in the Winter, or because the construction is too elaborate for low cost veterans housing, or the owner Is unwilling to rent or sell to e veteran, no further construction Is permitted, the regional compliance director said. If construction is continued despite the order, Brownell said that the case is referred to the U. s. Attorneys offices for criminal prosecution in the Federal Courts, Such eases are infrequent, he add ed.
 Not all illegal commercial con- struction Is permanently halted. If the work is being done by a vet- eran who Is setting himself up in business and 1t is not too elaborate, the veteran is advised to obtain an authorization before continuing The authorizations are issued if the work meets the regular standards.
 No Suspension Permant
 So far, there have been no per- manent suspension orders in this area, Brownell disclosed. He warned builders that there has been no re- taxation of Government controls on construction and construction ma aterials needed for the Veterans Emergency Housing Program.
 He added, i've have had no indi- cation from Washington that there will be any relaxation of controls necessary for promotion of the Vet erans Housing Program"

New Copper Price Rise Expected
 LoeoI Products
 To Be Affected
 By Any Increase
By Any Increase

A new hoost ln the price Of dolnes- tlc copper is expected to result in additional increases in the price of manufactured brass products.
 The Phelps Dodge Corporation the price of copper, bringing it to 10 ia cents Q pound, the highest figure since 1929. Other major pro- ducers are also expected to announce higher schedules.
 Just Q week ago the Big 3 of the brass industry here announced in. creases averaging q i-2 cents a pound for manufactured brass products, following boosts in the prices of copper and zinc. Copper prices the day before had gone from i4 S-e cents to ' leg cents e pound, follow ing the end of government controls The Chase Brass & Copper Com. pany, the Scovill Manufacturing Company and the American Brass Company said the brass prices were increased only enough to pass on the increases in the price of raw mater ials.
 The copper price increase an. nounced by Phelps-D Dodge still leaves a gap between the cost of foreign and domestic copper. The govern. ment, which has halted copper baiy- ing, had been selling foreign copper at l7 i-2 cents a pound, without re- gard for the { cents Q pound duty. With the government out of the market, buyers must now pay the duty, meaning cost of 2l i-2 cents a pound for foreign copper.
 The whole situation is completely confused" said Rodney Chase. in- dustrial relations director for the Chase Company. He said his firm is awaiting word on copper prices by other producers. One of the major producers is the Kennecott Copper Corporation, parent of the Chase firm.
 The copper and brass industries are waiting for action on reduction or suspension of the { cent a pound excise levy on foreign copper. Some experts say that the levy is an ex. else tax, not strictly duty, and that President Truman cannot lift 1t un- der his emergency powers. In that case, action by Congress may be necessary, and this cannot come un- til early 1947.
 Industry leaders say that copper shortages are holding down produc- ton in e number of vital industries and that early action Is needed to increase the supply.
