SUBJECT: Tombstone Extension premium

This premium has been signed by Metals Reserve, with the reserv&tio~ that it it not to me serrt out unless Tpmbstone has been operating continuously.

I hope I didn tt lie to Howard Young and Stroble when 1 told them, based on a recent memo of Coupal,t s, that the mine is still being opera.ted.

At anyrate, Strobel has wired Brown for confirmation and the ­tone of his wire will control what happens (BrO'ltffi' swire) Q

So, after all this 'time and so much difficulty, I finally have the case approved all around, and Brown will get his money if the one statement is substantiated. Metals Reserve has to_be covered that it is not a straight bailput; and signed with real

, reluctance. (7 ' J

Incidentally, growing out of my squawks, a hot report which . I wrote on the premium price plan and sent to Bunker, and the dise~~~ions at our luncheon last week comes a letter from Bunker promising that he will try and l~eep tJ;1e total time on premium application processing down ·to 2 weeks. and a month at the outside if additional data has to be obtained. He is putting. ill a system of followup where, any case over two weeks old will be brought directly to his attention for checking up. This is an enQrmous step in the right clirectiono I always feel badly even when I get these things °done, (as in the ease ' of RFO, although we did get more than a year's benefit out of those reforms) because of thinking how much time and money and trouble would have been saved could the re:t:orms have

I b~en made effective a couple of years or so ago • . · \

\ ~

Blt~ it takes a long, st,rong lever to move these agenci.es, a.pplied · slowly and ~arefully •••• first .youhave to build the lever and then feel around for pOints of application and be patient at the frequent slips.

Talked to Howard Young about this case this a·fternoon, as it is & pe~ of ours, he having agreed · to my thesis and set v1.PB policy on it_

I told him that I had heard from OPA that wIRC might turn it down and I thi~ Howard will go to bat for it.

I was astonished and gratified to hear from your memo of Feb. 21st that Brown is still operating there. I understood he had shut down and this news will help a lot in ·holding ~ffiC in line. We should have a decision in a ~ew days now.

\

After months of battling the Tombst0ne bailout case is in the hands of Metals Reserve, .but [ am afraid that~ after having 'a stipulation with WPB and driving it through OPA; MRC is gOing to turn it down on the basis that the mine is "not operating and thus is is a plai~ ' bailout which they have no legal autho'rity to m.a~e.

Wben Brown shut Tombstone EA~ension down he surely took the wind out of my sails but I 'don't suppose he had any option.

You will be happy to know that following the policy eommittment I insisted I •

en that these outfits to be closed will be let out solvent, the Quota Oommittee has reco.mme~ded a retroaetove premium to last March tor tkis outfit.

Of course, it requires other approvals yet, but I feel it will go through.

This cas~ and three other leaa cases .have ~~en tke subject ofhigk policy 'consideration for months, ahd figure in lots of letters . and memos between departme~tal officialso .

If I can put this over (see prior .memos) it will lay down a precedent that is gOing to be hard for VlPB a~d MR~ to break. .

And you must remembe~ in this case Brown basalreadY 'stated to VlPB that he is gOing to close from lack of ore anywky. This .complicated the case badly and made it more difficult as it is nowrdefinately a matter of paying for

.. dead horses.

Yeur letter of March , I reacheCl me today on the la.-te mail. ,At the same time! received a telegram from Strobel stat-ing the;t the "Btl has fina.lly been approved.

I can 't thank you. and Bill ~roadgate enough for all your efforts en , my behalf. I oertainly will do all loan to support the good work at Washington, after 1 olea,r up a· few of my pressing obligations, inoluding the R. F.' C. loan.

"

E·ven wJth the '~]3" premium, I expeot to have a struggle to make the remaining low grade at the Extension pay.

I hope Br9~~gate will continue to try for a special o~ the Shannon as I really have a good copper prospect which I ho 'pa may get on its feat if given the samet chance a.s that accord,.. ad other nearby mines. I have shipped two cars and am load­ing another, but plan to withhold some broken ore in the mine until I hear from you or Broadgate.

Very truly yours;

SUBJECT: ' Tombstone Extension premium

Unfortunately, this case is st ill stuck on the desk of our fine feathered eIO friend, vice-chairman Golden of VJPB~~C.

I am trying to jar it loose, but the way the labor people feel, and the fact that this is lead, ·makes it look bad.

The Golden-Lipk01l'litz:- Bucbannan combination ,is worse than when Lund was King, .nearly.

SUBJECT: Tombstone Extension'

Washington, D-. C. , Aug. 15, 1943

Vlilris correspondence with Brown, I\~ee, Smith,

I thiruc the memos to Coupal indmcate that I got especially quick action on this some time before leaving Vashington.

I shall check up and see what can be done on the B premium as soon qs I get ,into harness again.

There is no douht that , it has been held ~p because it is a lead mine, probably by Var Manpower or "'IJPB Labor Division, hopipg that Bro'lt'r.a. will be ruined and have to shut dovm. '

I shall be very "glad to have this and any other case referred to the Co:glll1i~tee for study, a.s per my letter published under Lamb's signature.

I notice that lUnerican Metal ,w~rkets gave the letter a box on th~ front page as Soon as it hit their office~

I expect I shall hs~e a mass of complaints to classify.

IIoyre.rd You~ and Wilbur Nelson are working clQsely with me on this.

As a matter of fact, lelson has analyzed some of the files already for me and stat'ed the other day flthese cases are even worse tr1B.n you said they were ' e "

I am gOing to have some changes in this ~uota condition or someone will catclit <Hell. ' I think the twoOPA boys I took along on the \irip are convinced something must be done. There is nothing like having a person on a. tr'ain where he carmot , get away to persuade him about things.
