ForCiviIian Uses
Under Study by NPA
By Froncis P. DouoIos

The National Production Au-
thority today was working on an
order to cut back the civilian use
of copper by a reported Is to 30
per cent.
Administrator William H. Har-
rison and other NPA officials met
yesterday with representatives Of
brass mills. copper wire mills and
foundries to discuss the forth
coming regulation.
+ Mr. Harrison also met with COM
munications industry representa-
tives. In this meeting Mr.. Har-
rison gave assurance that if neces-
Sary to head off a breakdown in
communications, NPA will issue
special directives to provide ma
terialS in short supply for the in
dustry.
These directives might even be
rated ahead of military DO orders,
or defense orders, and would pro-
vide the first instance of any
orders taking precedence over DO
ratings.
The copper order will affect
manufacturers of radio and tele-
vision sets for civilian use, elec-
trio motors and electrical equip
ment generally, and automobile
producers. Copper also is used
in large quantities in the tele-
phone and telegraph systems.
Spokesman for the communica-
tions industry asserted that there
are demands for service still un-
satisfied since World War II. They
feared breakdownS in the indus
try If they are unable to extend
service where essential or are un-
able to maintain equipment prop
erly.
Mr.. Harrison said that NPA
recognizes that the communica-
tions industry is essential and
that measures would be taken to
meet its needs.
He told the copper and brass
producers that the order to be
issued affecting their industry is
needed to assure equitable dis
tribution of the products after
defense orders have been taken
care of. The proposed order will
provide for distribution of nom
defense supplies on percentage
still to be fixed of the non-defense
business of the first six months
of 1850.

walked onto the Nets huge stage
and sang her way to a triumph as
zerlina in Mozart's Don Giovanni
1t was three lifetime "firsts" for
Miss Peters, who is hardly out OF
school. 1t was her first stage ap-
pearance, her first concert, and
her first opera.
And. after her performance, 1t
guaranteed her a first contract.
Last January. the Nets new
manager, Rudolf Bing, heard Miss
Peters sing in an addition, liked
her voice, and added her to the
roster for some tentative work.
Yesterday. only q few hours be-
fore the Metropolitans first Don
Giovanni of the season, Soprano
Nadine Conner was stricken with
food poisoning and had to cancel
her appearance.
Mr.. Bing summoned Miss Peters
backstage and asked her if she
could sing the part of the pretty
little country bride who manages
just manages-to escape the
clutches of the lady-killing Don
Giovanni.
While the clock raced, she
crammed for the role, which she
knew fairly well from seven years
hopeful singing practice.
