Leroy Hill had flouted the National Mediation Board, OPM AND THE War Department, during months of senseless wrangling and hostilities. Mediation Board Chairman William H.

For this month latest OPM estimates show 5,730 tons too little copper for defense and Lend-Lease alone. For 1942 they show a maximum supply of 1,650,000 tons (including a sanguine 600,000 tons of imports); defense and Lend-Lease needs of 1,050,000 tons; "essential civilian" needs of 250.000 tons.
