Possibilities of obtaining from Russia other Important metals such as copper, zinc, 'lead, nickel, anti- tin, tungsten, manganese, as well as oil, are limited if they are ruled out completely the article' said.

1 most important nonferrous metal is copper, which is almost indispensable in the manufacture of 'artillery projectiles," the publica tlon said. "Under the Russian 6-year plan the production of copper was fixed at 155,000 tons in 1937, hut this figure not reached because of great Inefficiency until only recently. This can hardly have been remedied thus far. Therefore Russia compelled even today to import -large quantities. indispensible for arma tnents Is lead, which is used prlmar lly for the body of rifle bullets.

WILL Ml FLAG HIM APPEAL (Associated Press Leased Wire) PHILADELPHIA, NOV.

11. The right of school children to refuse to nnlute the flag Sf that violates their religious right upheld yesterday in a unanimous decision by the Third United States Circuit Couvt of Appeals today to be headed again toward Supreme Court review. Legalists wondered whether the Supreme Court would reconsider its refusal to pass on the subject on the grqund that no "substantial" federal question is involved. The court took this position toward appeals from decisions by the highest courts of New Jersey, Massachusetts and Georgia contrary to the United States Appellate Court opinion of yesterday. This stand, in effect, upheld flag salutes, but the Circuit Court declares that the Supreme Court changed its mind when it assumed jurisdiction in the Mayor.

Frank Hague "free speech" case. In any event, counsel for the Pennsylvania town school board affected by yesterday's decision announced he would appeal to the Supreme Court.

Judge John Biggs, and Judge Harry E. Kalodner concurred.

They believe, the court said, that to salute the flag is to "bow down to a graven- image." Wants Thanksgiving Held Armistice Day (Associated Press Leased Wire) Nov.

Edison replied that as early as 1930 was encountered in the sternposts of certain new heavy cruisers, but. that defective castings have been replaced and the difficulty apparently eliminated. He said the trouble arose attempts to "achieve the maximum in military features" within a limit of 10,000 tons.
