Metal Prices Climb,
Restrictions on Lead
Imports Dropped
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. l6.-Non-fer-
rous metals moved closer to complete
freedom from Government control
with CPA announcement today that
effective Monday all restrictions on
lead imports are lifted. n
This action, CPA said, removes all
controls over ALLEGATION of foreign
lead to domestic users. ALLEGATIONS
OF domestically produced lead will
continue, but the agency said deal
ers' purchases of foreign metal would
not be counted against their domes-
tic quotas.
AT the same time the agency
announced it has directed the Re-
construction Finance Corp, to dis
continue public purchase of lead
from foreign sources except to full
NIL commitments already made.
CPA said it action result from the
elimination of price ceilings under
which private purchase was
not feasible because of a substant-
ial difference between the world
price and the controlled domestic
price"

BY the Assoeioisd Press

Every important naval air station
In the United States and overseas

a radar controlled landing system
that has proved itself accident-free
in 80 months of study. Nine United

that indicate the direction and ele-
vation of an incoming plane to
within 10 feet.
Some $4,000 operational landings
have been recorded by the Navy, 469
of them under weather conditions
when instruments only could be
used, a Navy announcement said
yesterday. 1t added:
80 successful is this method Of
aircraft control, that no plane max
ing It's final landing approach
under instrument conditions has had
an accident while under control OF

The nine airfields in the United
States that alreadyy have GOA in
stalled are at Whidbey Island and
