RA Increases Copper
Allotment by Allowing
Foreign Metal Imports

The Government yesterday in.
creased allotments of copper TO,
many household appliances and
utensils by 43 per cent and also
allowed more of the scare metal
for home building and other con-
Etruction.
The overall increase in copper
allotments to industry is 10 per
cent. This will apply in the July
September period Of the year.
The National Production All
thority said it's action will permit
United States copper users 10 rur-
chase foreign copper up to the
limit Of allowances made by the
international Materials Confer
ence. This has not been done in
the past.
In fact. the NPA action was re-
garded as step to encourage the
buying OF foreign copper, which
costs more than domestic metal
GucctS OF Or0er.
NPA said its order will.
l. Increase copper allotments
Tor some consumer articles from
the present IS per cent of pre-
Korean consumption to so per
cent, higher allowance than has
oeen available for about a year
This applies to washing machines
stoves, vacuum cleaners and pots
and pans.
2. Increase considerably allot-
ments for defense-supporting and
other essential programs which
have been receiving relatively
small allowances.
3. Make it possible for small
producers of consumer durable
goods to obtain up to 20 tons per
quarter without specific allow
ances.
4. Allow builders of commercial
structures likewise to obtain, by
"self-certification." $50 pounds
per project instead of 200 pounds.
Provide additional copper for
home-building to be obtained
without specific allowances.
B. Permit start on replenish-
Ing the stockpile from which the
metal has been drawn out because
of defense needs. .
World Price Drops.
Henry H. Fowler, NPA admins
traitor. said the action was made
possible by the decline in the world
price of copper from about SIS
cents a pound to about IS cents.
The domestic price has been 24b
cents.
Because of the high world price
American users had not been able
to buy the amounts of foreign cop
per allowed by the International
Materials Conference.
Last week OPS permitted COP
per and brass mills to pass on 80
per cent of the excess foreign cost
to customers. The copper tariff
likewise has been suspended. With
more foreign copper thus becom-
Ing available. NPA now is issuing
tickets" to enable users to obtain
1t under the controlled materials
plan.
Mr.. Fowler said the more gen.
erous allotments will mean in
creased consumption of 10000 tons
OF copper monthly.
