‘Rated Scarcest of Industrial Metals as Labor Lack Slows
Production, Imports La
By EARL
g With World ‘Shortage.
RICHERT
Scripps-Howard Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, March
4.—Approach of full peace-
~ time production finds government and industry worrying
** over the nation’ s lead supply.
Lead is the scarcest of our industrial metals,
-
It is estimated a million tons of lead ‘will be needed an-
ually in the early post-war years. And our domestic pro-
.. duction is running at the rate "of only 400,000 tons a year. Scrap production this year "will run, at the present rate, at “ about 325000 tons. This leaves ¢ 275,000 tons needed from imports if ~ American mines do not’ increase , production. Industry spokesmen say that it! would be possible to increase pro- * duction by another 100,000 tons if + 4000 additional men could be found 2 0 work in he wines.
BUT THEY Shih "this estimate, too, on lifting all government con-| trols, principally OPA price ceilings. © The government is unsympathetic on this score and likely will retain ' ceiling prices as 10ng as it has the power and the metal remains’ scarce. Retiring Stabilization Direcior) John C. Collet recently ended . rumors that price ceilings would , be raised when he announced the * present lead price ceiling of 6% cents a pound would be maintained. * He said that government’ agen- _ gies concerned felt that the present .. price ceilings, together with the ex- = isting premium price plan, was ade- § quate to maintain maximum domes- ~ tic production. > The premiums, which the govern- © _ment pays for production above “established quotas, gives lead mines an average of 8.6 cents a pound for their product. The operators of one large mine, however, are not able ‘to qualify for the premiums and ~ hence produce lead at the ceiling price of 6% cents. This subsidy “program last year cost the govern.ment 312500500. : » i THE IMPORT * side of the ture is dark too. or | There is a worldwide shortage. and all industrial nations need lead. “The United States has contracted ¢ to import between 9000 and 10,000 #¥ tons a month for the first quarter : “of this year. # But it is not certain how much
lead
““ will be delivered. = Some of the | °
largest mines in Mexico are shut’
down by strike with a loss of 18 000 | Medium
; tons of lead production a month.

Seafood Seen
NEW YORK, March 4 (U. P.). ~Seafood supplies for the Lenten season will be reduced by the strike of the Boston fishing fleet, but seafood shortages) will be offset by abundant stocks of fresh fruits,’ vegtables, eggs, macaroni and poultry, the A. & P. food stores reported today. Favorable weather in the Chesapeake area, and opening of ‘the Great: Lakes fishing season on March 15 will increase the fish supply, but the gain will not be sufficient’ to offset the meager catches at Boston during the tieup, the report added. Boston - usually furnishes approximately 50 per cent of the nation's fish Reeds,
NEW RECORDS SET BY AMERICAN UNITED
The American United Life Insurance Co. last year established
records in insurance in force and in-assets,-the-annual report has revealed. “Achieving a gain in 1945 of over $20,000,000, the firm's life insurance in force stood at $335852,065 on Dec. 31, the highest point in our 69-year history,” commented George A. Bangs, president. “An increase of nearly $5,000,000 in assets last year brought that item to $70,853,544, which was another peak,” said Mr. Bangs, “and our ‘total payments to policyholders and beneficiaries since we began operations in 1877 had reached
00|$182,592,058 by last Dec. 31.”

They believed this trend would .| continue through 1946 but said they could not predict beyond then until they had completed their annual study of some 15,000 labor contracts.
Seek New Trends
The labor department studies are aimed at discovering common industry practices, innovations in labor-management relations, and significant new trends in labor relations. They said the patlern of contract negotiations since the relaxation of wage controls last August, however, had been marked by the abandonment of so-called “fringe issues” which figured in many. wartime cases. Some labor unions even have given up secondary benefits previously okayed by the war labor board in order to win better wiges. Most observers expect labor contracts to be influenced greatly by agreements reached vetween the United Auto Workers (C. I. 0.) and the Ford and KaiserFrazer automobile companies.
Get Time to Vote
-The Ford contract provides for fines against individual workers who participate in illegal work stoppages.. The Kaiser-Frazer contract provides for bonuses for stepping-up production: Although the war is over, it still is having its effect on some contracts. - The A: F. of L. building tradesmen have agreed to continue to surrender premium pay for certain work days because of the acute housing shortage and the scarcity of skilled construction workers Not precedent-making but still unusual was the contract signed between the United Electrical Workers (C. I. 0) and the New York City Associated Electrical

WASHINGTON, March 4 (U, P.). —A special senaté-house committee today recommended elimination of more than half of the standing congressional committees as part of a far-reaching, 37-point reorganization ‘plan designed to meet “a grave constitutional crisis.” : A $5000 a year increase in congressional salaries and a pension plan for congressmen were among other proposals made by the 132man committee after a four-month study on ways to stream-line the national legislature. The committee said its recommendations were made “in response to a widespread congressional arid public belief that a grave constitutional crisis exists in which the fate of representative government itself is at stake.” More and ‘more, the report said, public affairs are being. handled by administrative agencies headed by none-elective officials “with only casual oversight by congress. But government by administration, it declared, is a dangerous object of “group pressures which weaken its protection of the public interest.” “Under these conditions,” the committee said, “it was believed the time is ripe for congress to reconsider its role in the American scheme of government and to modernize its ‘organization and procedures.” The report said the existing come. mittee system was the No. 1 problem involved in an attempt to reorganize congress because it was “obsolete and overlapping” and represented a “luxury and waste of manpower.” It recommended that the senate’s 33 standing: committees be organized into 16 and that the house's 48 be consolidated into 18. Membership on Two It proposed that each senator be limited to membership on two standing committees and each representative to one major committee assignment. At present, it said, many senators serve on as many as 10 committees while some house members serve on as many as six or more. " Committee chairmenships are jealously ‘guarded privileges congress and the proposal to bi duce their number was certain to| meet strong opposition, especially| among southern Democrats. One’ member of the reorganization committee said this one recommendation alone endangered the entire report. : But it did not only recommend abolition of committees. It proposed an innovation in form of official majority and minority policy committees in both houses which would chart Republican and Democratic stands and strategy on ali legislation. “In order to narrow the widen{ing gap between the executive and the legislative branches,” the report. added, “we recommend that the senate and house majority policy committees serve also on a for-| mal council 40 meet at regular in-| tervals with the executive (President) and with such members of {his cabinet as may be desirable : . to improve relationships be{tween the two branches of the government.” The report was icongress by Senator

BRITAIN WILL
CONTINUE DRAFT
“ Intends Keesing. Force of 1,100,000 Under Arms.
LONDON, March 4 (U."P.)." —
Prime Minister Clement Attlee told '
commons today that Britain intends to keep a semi-permanent force of
1,100,000 men under arms -and is |
considering unifying her army, navy) and air forces into a single striking arm geared to the military | needs of the atomic age. Mr. Attlee opened a two-day affairs debate in commons with the flat announcement that peacetime conscription would-be continued for the present at least, to maintain Britain's planned strength and provide a constant reservoir of 100,000 trained men. The government plans, he said,
to reduce the armed forces by the lend of 1946 to the 1,100,000 level—
about 25 per cent of their wartime size. That will include 175,000 men in the royal navy, army and 275,000 in the air forces “There is always the possibilty of things going wrong in some part. of the world or other,” Mr. Attlee said. “If things went wrong {we would have to come to the | house and ask to keep greater | forces in being, perhaps asking for {a supplementary vote ,.., but I {have a very full knowledge of what
.lour obligations are and what dan-
{gers we have to face, and one [cannot afford to take risks.” | ‘Mr. Attlee pointed out that the {danger of Nazi uprisings in hunger{ridden Germany is still present and that “we have undertaken obligations under the United Nations charter which we intend to fulfill.”

under arrest today. The two men and a woman had operated in New York, Miami, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit and other cities, and each robbery followed the same pattern. The woman, accompanied by one. of the men would enter an exclusive jewelry shop and ask the salesman to bring out his most expensive pieces, police said. Then the woman would draw the salesman's attention .to another part of the store, and the man would pocket a few pieces. The woman would then pretend dissatisfaction with the jewelry, and the couple: would leave the shop. - Ruth Rosenthal, 43, of New York, was arrested in Boston last Wednesday after a detective said he saw her slip a $1900 necklace in her pocket at. a - hotél jewelry shop.
