| lbrannan Is Accused
OF Coercing His Aides
By the Associoted Press

Representative Curtis, Repub-
lican, of Nebraska, said yesterday
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
'is cracking the whip over an
army of 10000 in his fight to i'm
pose the socialistic Brannan plan
on the farmers of the Nation"
In a statement issued through
his Office here, Mr.. Curtis said that
las opposition by big farm or
ganizations is piling up, buttressed
by millions of individual farmers,
the secretary is getting desperate"
Mr.. Curtis said Secretary Bran
mans --latest maneuver" came at
the recent Production and Mar
keting Administration conference
at Memphis. Tenn. He said pro-
grams of the department are car
ried out by county and community
farmer-committee systems under
the PIMA.
After slapping the farmers and
farm organizations who oppose his
plan," Mr.. Curtis said, "the secre-
tary, with tongue in cheek. told
the Agriculture Department en-
ployes that it was not their func-
ton to urge the people of the
country to accept my recon-
mendations." Then he continued.
THAT does not mean, however,
that anyone need be in ignorance
of the recommendations. 1t does
not mean that you must refuse to
answer questions from the people
who expect you to know and un-
derstand what has been proposed"
There it is" Mr.. Curtis said.
Secretary Brannan's order to this
group of 10000 is not even subtle
coercion. He has laid down the
gospel of his socialistic scheme to
regiment the farmers of the Ma
tion and this army of 10000 must
see to it that his facts are
preached throughout the land"

Brass Mills Working at Capacity
Despite Shortage Of Copper
Copper a Brass Research Association

Whether or not there viii be q
sufficient supply of copper, zinc
and lead in 1949 to meet the re-
quirements of the brass mills. wire
mills and other copper consuming
industries will largely depend on the
following three factors:
l. The amount OF these strate-
gic metals which the Government
will stockpile in its National De-
Tense Program.
2. The labor situation in the
mines. mills and in transport. Cap
acity production will be necessary TO
meet current demand.
3. The quantity of these metals
which can be imported from abroad,
and in turn, the shipments which
will have to be made abroad on
account of the European Recovery
Program.
Even though there are no labor
disturbances in the copper mines
during the year and they are OPP
Grated at capacity they cannot sup
My enough copper to meet domes-
tic requirements. It Is generally
believed that 1949 will be one of
continued prosperity in our coun-
try. If this turns out to be true,
the demsnd for copper may well
reach 100000 tons. The mines In
the United States cannot produce
such tonnage so 1t will be neces-
sary to import the red metal from
the Mexican and South American
mines generally operated by comp
anies In the United States. The
amount of secondary metal fscrap)
will also play an important part
in meeting demand.
There exists today an acute
shortage of copper. In fact, the
supply is so tight that the brass
and wire mills are finding it diff
cult to obtain sufficient supply to
continue normal operation. This
shortage was augmented by the
strike at the great Utah open-cut
mine of Kennecott Copper Corpora
ton. Normal production lost on this
account is estimated as about $4,000
tons a month.
Practically every basic American
industry is dependent on copper
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1949-01-29

, or copper-base alloys in the manu-
facture of It's products. To make
GRASS, bronze and other copper
base alloys to meet the varying
demand of industry zinc and lead
and a number of other metals are
required besides copper and several
of these are in short supply at the
present time.
The electrical industry is the
largest consumer of copper Next
to the electrical industry, the auto
motive and building industries are
the greatest consumers of copper
and copper base alloys. The average
1919 model car will have approx
mately As pounds of the red metal
and its alloys IN its construction.
Trucks and buses also contain
large amounts of these metals. Mi.
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., Chairman of
General Motors Corporation, and
other TOP executives of automotive
companies are of the opinion that
this industry in 1949 will probably
set a new peace-time record for
building cars. trucks and buses.
This means copper and brass pro-
ducts. With about 100000 new
housing units required in the next
decade building activity should re-
main high The demand for copper
and copper-base alloys in 1949 for
this purpose should be about the
same tonnage as that for the auto
motive industry. Each will need
about 250.00000O pounds of the red
metal and its alloys during 1910.
J Since the end of the war the
brass mills have taken over a num-
Der of fabricating plants built by
the Government during the war TO
supply the United States and others
of the United Nations with war
armament. In addition, several COM
panies have constructed new plants,
specifically in Alabama and Calf
ornia.
In other words, every possible
step is being taken by the Industry
j, to meet the large demands on it
and 1t must now depend on the
availability of its principal raw
materials to do the job which is
required of it.
