WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (UP

Civilians Slash Production;

) — Government controls reached

right into the American home today to get copper for the war

factories.

Starting March 1, there will be no more copper for coffee pots,

door knobs and window screens,

belt buckles and fancy buttons,

frying pans, picture frames, bird cages and hundreds of other

familiar but non-essential products, National Production Authority Director William H. Harrison ordered all of -the nation’s tooemall copper supplies set aside for defense industries and the

key civilian plants that help keep the arms factories runing.

‘Makes No Promises

Some manufacturers may have to shut down if they can’t find substitutes. Mr. Harrison said they can appeal in cases of extreme hardship and. he will try to help them, particularly where a lot of people may be thrown out of work.

But he made no promises. The government already has ordered sharp cuts in use of nickel. The Senate Preparedness Committee reported today that nickel is very scarce.

More and more strategic and scarce metals will be taken off the civilian market in the months ahead Automobile production probably will be cut down by 25 to 33 per cent in 1951, although

that still would put some 6 mil-|

lion new passenger cars in the showrooms. Tires are relatively scarce and will have less natural rubber in them. But the tire makers stil?

The distilling industry may have to switch a big part of its production to industrial alcohol for the synthetic rubber program. But there won't be any shortage of whisky. . Cigarets also are plentiful. Effect of the new copper congervation order may not be felt to any marked degree for some months. But householders will notice it by mid-summer when they start looking for replacements for their window screens, lamp shades .and other home trimmings. Women probably will be the first to spot the change. New dresses, jewelry and clothing accessories made after March 1 will be minus all the brass curlicues that now add that extra touch.

A compromise hasn't been lworked out yet, but chances for one are good. Since the Senate will not be in session Monday, final action on any compromise cannot be taken before Tuesday.| Most In Danger i A House - Senate conference committee has agreed on a compromise civil defense bill, but this can not be acted upon finally before Tuesday either. It might run into trouble then if an opponent of the bill decides to use delaying or filibustering tactics. But the emergency war powers bill seemed in most danger. Mr. Truman originally asked Congress for two grants of power. One would authorize him to reshuffle defense agencies without waiting

Congress time to study reorganization plans. The second would authorize the Executive Department to resurvey governument contracts in the light of price changes and other new conditions. Postpones Action . The Senate passed a bill giving the President only the power to make contract adjustments. It postponed action on the reshuffling request pending further study. . The House hasn't done anything about this legislation yet but is slated to act Monday. The bill to be presented by Chairman Emanuel Celler (D. N. Y.) of the House Judiciary Committee would give Mr. Truman all the authority he seeks. But if the bill passes the House, a compromise to allow final action may prove to be too much of a problem to overcome before

Monopoly Plus U. S. ‘Complacency Cited For Shortage

By GEORGE E. REEDY JR. United Press Staft Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 30—The Senate Preparedness Committee today blamed past government complacency and a “formidable” Canadian monopoly for a critical shorta of war-vital nickel. It called for a drastic cut in non-essential uses of the metal and said some’ uses should be eliminated altogether. As nonessential, it listed the shiny trim on automobiles, and coinage. The Senators levelled the com-| placency charge at former officials of the Munitions Board and named the monopoly as the International Nickel Co. of Canada,

|Ltd., which “produces over 85 per

cent of the free world’s nickel.” “The current shortage has resulted from the collision of rapidly increasing civilian and mili-
