OUTPUT
UP AS BUYERS
START RUSH

NEW YORK, April 4 0.N.S).
Steel production has advanced one
half point to 481a per cent Of
capacity with the rush Of con-
sumers to cover their needs ex-
pected to result in sharply higher
operating schedules in finishing
mills by the middle of the month,
the weekly Iron Age summary
points out today.
The tranScontinental character
of the current phase of the steel
market is illustrated in production
rates in different producing CEN
ters. Operations at Cleveland are
off seven points to Sc per cent of
capacity, and output in the
South has receded two points to
so per cent. On the other hand,
the Pittsburgh rate has increased
three points to 35 per cent and the
valley average two points to 81
per cent. Production in other
districts remains unchanged.
New Prices Announced
General price advances on steel
products ranging from So and So
a ton have followed the recent 10
per cent increase in wages. While
the filing of prices has not been
completed, new quotations have
been announced on virtually all OF
the commoner products except
pipe, tin plate and rails. On the
basis of the advances thus Tar
made public the Iron Age COM
posite for finished steel will be
raised from 2.028c to 2.184c a
pound. The advanced figure, how.
ever, will still be 1925 a ton below
the average for 1929 and $3.50
ton below that of the popular In
dex base year 1926, notWithStand-
ing that basic wage rates are now
back on approximately the Level
that prevailed in 1929 and 1926:
A possible advance in pipe
may result in a further Slight
increase in the Iron Age COM
posite, and the price of rails may
be changed following the ex-
piration of the present quotation
on April IS. but no early re-
vision of the tin plate price is
looked for.
Advances Bring Orders
The advances have caused
widespread contracting for the
second quarter, since mills have
given their customers an oppor'
tunity to cover their needs prior
to the effective date Of the new
prices, which in most cases will
not be before April 10. The ef-
feet of this anticipatory buying,
however, is to rob the industry
of the benefit of the advances
until the third quarter. In the
meantime producers face immedi.
ate absorption of higher labor and
fuel costs.
Pig iron producers have not
yet filed price changes, but
early advances are regarded as
inevitable in view of the addi-
ton of increased fuel costs to
higher labor charges. Coal opera
tors have not yet been able to
determine the effect of their
own new wage set-up, but they
have temporarily advanced all
grades Of bituminous coal Is
cents a ton and both furnace
and foundry coke IS cents a
ton. These changes are effective
Immediately, since all fuel con-
tracts carry a wage clause.
Pig iron production in March
registered a daily average gain
of 1873 per cent over February.
The total for the month was
1,619,534 tons or daily rate of
52,243 tons, compared with 1863
673 tons for February or 45,131

Not all the good spots for such
developments have been taken

be giving some attention to the
matter of street extension and
widening for future needs.
Another good market that was
overlooked by enough realtors to
make it most lucrative for the
others was the house market in
nearby Virginia towns last win

Alexandria, stamping ground of
Graham and Ogden, furnishes the
best example.
A recent survey reveals that
more than 200 such homes were

Yen for Spinach

Spinach. made famous by Pop
eye the Sailor of comic page fame,
has an ardent champion in Mrs.
Helen F. Smart, assistant pathol-
ogist in the Department of Agri-
culture.
Attached to the Bureau Of
Plant Industry, Mrs. Smart eats
spinach all day long, week in and
out, and has been eating it on
full-time schedule since last
March.
Not that she's greedy. On the
contrary. But working on sci
entific project, she's trying to find
out the possible advantage of
housewives using frozen spinach
in place of the usual can-cooked
type.
Tastes Spinach
That means trying out differ
ent cooking methods which, in
turn, means tasting small dabs of
spinach all day long in her South
Agriculture Building laboratory.
Taste alone is not sufficient. Of
course, so she also makes eXhauS-
tive ARCHAEOLOGICAL tests.
The cooking process is relatively
simple. Sometimes the greens.
which are grown in the West. are
boiled just long enough to make
them wilt" This knocks out"
the engines, certain chemical
compounds which set up unde-
Sirable reactions, and also per-

CONTINUED from Page y
to the younger element of the
party.
The assumption is that the
young voter is naturally progreS
sive voter and would be inclined
to give to the "reorganized party"
the liberal tendencies which are
now so much in demand.
1t is probably for this reason
that New York. one of the cen
ters Of demand for reorganization,
is making serious effort to
strengthen the position of the
party among the younger ele-
ment.
Asked Senator to Speak
It will be recalled that shortly
after Senator Borah delivered his
initial blast against the present
leadership of the party he was
visited by representatives of New
York's young voters. And immedi-
ately after the blast those same
young voters invited the Idahoan
to visit New York and make an ad.
dress setting forth his ideas.
New York's younger Repub-
licans made a real attempt to
perform party services in the late
and, from the Republican stand
point, unlamented Congressional
campaign.
They are not inclined now to
give up any of the ground which
they believe they gained in party
councils by that effort.
These in the national party
who are demanding a new deal"
are familiar with the fact that
they have little hope of convert
ing to progressive principles the
gray-haired veterans who are now
in control of the party.
Put Pressure on Veterans
They seek therefore, to exert
pressure on the veterans through
appeals to the younger element.
1t is, however fact, that the
younger Republicans are not nee
essarily more progressive than
have been their forebears in the
party.
They would, of course, rejoice
at the idea of gaining more
power within the party, and, to
do that, they might temporarily
espouse the ideas which they
think might give them that
power. But actually there is held
out little hope that fundamen-
tally and for the long run the
young Republicans are essentially
different from their fathers.

Most important of these has been
relaxation of price-fixing provisions

FORMER AIDE
(. Of SINCLAIR s
I. . HITS RACKET

LOS ANGELES, July 6. U.P)-
Denouncing the Upton Sinclair
gubernatorial campaign as "a book
and pamphlet selling racket" Louis
L. Horchitz, former Sinclair backer,
today declared that the author is
reaping a liberal profit during his
race for the Democratic nomina-
ton.
Horchitz was secretary of the
Pasadena Sinclair organization un-
til he was recently removed by
Richard S. OFT, the candidates
campaign manager.
Horchitz declared that Sinclair
published his pamphlets for. two
cents each and sold them to the
End Poverty League for six cents.
He declared that if Sinclair loses,
the candidate will write muck
raising book telling why he lost,
and will do much the same if he
wins.
The charges of profiteering on
pamphlets met hot denial from OFT
who declared that the pamphlet
rights belong to the league and
not to Sinclair. He further de-
clared that the league is losing
money in backing Sinclair's candid
acy.
OFT attributed Horchitz's attack
to jealousy engendered during his
association with the campaign
group.

WON PAPEN TO
SEEK HELP OF
HINDEN BURG

BERLIN, July 6. U.P) = Baron
Franz Won Papen, vice chancellor,
is planning to see President Paul
Won Hindenburg and put up to the
aged field marshal his dispute with
the Nazi government, it was learn
ed on reliable authority today.
Won Papen, it was learned, has
demanded that the government
produce proof of any evidence
against members of his staff, on
which the government might seek
to justify arrest of his aides and his
own detention in his home under
protective custody"
In his conferences with Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler since his re-
lease, Won Papen has been nego-
tiating regarding his status. His
face clearly shows the strain of his
ordeal. He has aged, and is tense
and worried.
Hindenburg's man in the cabinet,
and the spokesman also for rich
landowners, industrialists and for
Catholics, Won Papen remains the
country's chief personal political
problem There are evidences that
Hitler would like to have Won
Papen around because of his in
fluence if he could do SO on his
own terms. Those terms, however,
it has been made clear Won Papen
will not accept.
