Open Hearing Is Held
|By Senators on Copper
Sent 10 Red China
BY the Associated Press

A Senate subcommittee ordered
a public airing today of new evil
dence about round-the-world
shipments Of Japanese copper te
Communist China.
Called to testify were officials
of export firms which had a part
in trade that sent the war-useful
metal from United States-oc
pied Japan to New York City and
then to China.
They had told their stories
earlier behind closed doors to a
Senate commerce subcommittee
investigating shipments of stra-
tegic materials to Communist
China.
O'Conor Heads Probe.
At an open session about three
weeks ago the subcommittee,
headed by Senator O'Conor, Dem
ocrat, of Maryland received testi-
mony that nearly 4 million pounds
of Japanese copper had been
hauled to China by way of New
York.
The shipments were made prior
to the Tightening of controls over
exports of Japanese copper last
July. A ban had been placed on
shipments of United States pro-
duced copper to Communist areas
a year earlier.
Senator O'Conor said last night
that millions of pounds of tin mill
products have also been shipped
from this country to Red China.
Senator O'Conor said that al
though the materials are second
grade "they can and easily are
manufactured into strategic prod
ucts." He called on the Com
merce Department to halt such
exports. A department spokes-
man said a close watch is being
kept on the situation.
Big Shipments Reported.
The Senator said that in the
last five months 1881 ,014 pounds
of tin mill products have been
shipped from New York alone to
Red China and British Hong
Kong.
An official of the Kane Import
Co. of New York City testified at
the earlier public hearing that his
firm bought more than 3.5 million
pounds Of Japanese copper and
shipped it out of New York to
the North China Import Corp.
