OPA EXPLAINS 3Urr,AL0 COAL MINE
SITUATION
The claim of the company that the present shutdown of the Buffalo

by Oi ^ all Alaska produced bituminous coal is not substantiated by
the )acts uncovered by CPA'S careful analysis of the slauatl^no Ihis

the OPA who returned to her Juneau office from .-wr.chooagj on Sunday*
.iie mine closing appeal's co be due to an uncertain army demand witch
has eler.Tdy been shut off for many months, to la" >r d.lf fiouiti.es . to
losses encounterod by the company before ceilings were impo? t •' , f\s
well as to the present oeiiingsa The latter can be only an incidental
■actor m view of the many other obvious conditions existing et the
Buffalo nine•
Fr sere ceilings were set on all producer and dealer selej of the

accounts which reflected true operational costs, the Alaska Di/ector
stated and even in ias petition for adjustment it has not supplied
-lean and adequate cost intormation upon which a detemi naci uould

T.iel*e has been no -'indifference’ on the Dart of the OPA to th« sit

the petition is being rovjrned merely in order that apparent incon
sistencies wit n previous and contradictory data con be ironed c it by
tne company, tint 11 this 1 - done, no iurther action can be taken on the
