NEW YORK, March 1o-The
American Sugar Refining Co. in its
annual report today urged clarifica-
ton OF Federal sugar control policy
so domestic refiners would know where
they stand.
Pointing out sugar control legisla-
ton was up for action in Congress
again. the leading domestic refiner
asked whether the Government still
relies on home refiners as "the main
stay OF the national sugar supply"
If So" it added, Congress should
return the home market to the home
industry.
The import quota system estab-
llshed under the sugar plan hands
over to tropical refners a share in the
nome market equivalent to the annual
requirements Of more than $4,000 900
Americans. No other important coun-
try IN the world industrializes its
tropical dependencies at the expense
OF its home manufacturers"

STEEL RISE SPURS
GENERAL PRICES
Resistance to Boost Is Not
Expected to Depress
Operating Rate.
By the Associated Press.

6S the ASsocieted PreGS.
NEW YORK, March 1o.-Iron AGE
today estimated the recently an
nounced general increase in steel
prices as result OF wage boosts will
cost consumers more than 100000, 900
annually.
Since mills are we'll booked" the
trade journal said, consumer resist
ance to higher prices is not expected to
depress the operating rate, which is
estimated at 81 per cent of capacity
for this week"
without doubt" the publication
said, many consumers of steel will be
compelled to advance the prices of
their own products, not alone to COM
pensate for higher material costs, but
to take care Of impending wage rate
increases in secondary industries. Thus
a fundamental though unavoidable
impetus has been given to general price
imitation through the necessity Of max
ing peace offering to labor"
OF the general increases in all types
Of steel recently announced, the trade
journal said fiat rolled products of the
type used by automobile manufactur-
ers took the brunt of the action.
"Hot-rolled annealed Sheets" the
.evieW said, were advanced ST and due
to sharp increases in gage extras, in
some cases as much as $40 ton Light
cold-rolled sheets, because of base and
extra price advances are as much as
Sll per ton higher. Tin plate seems
to be the only commodity unaffected,
although tin mill black plate has gone
up 81 per ton"
The Iron Age composite price for
finished steel rose to 2.605 cents a
pound, an increase of 0275 cents.
Bullishness in scrap still is pro-
nounced and prices continue to climb,
the review said. The Iron Age steel
scrap composite rose to s2l08 ton.
The Iron Age composite pig iron
price rose to s23.25 ton, the highest
level since 1928
United States Steel Corp. an
nounced today that February ship
ments of finished steel products by
subsidiary companies totaled 1888, ,724
tons, decrease of 1874 tons from
the January figure, due to the shorter

over the same month in 1886 of 457,-

LONDON, March 10.-The price Of
tin scared $l22.50 ton to 1,50625 in
trading today and was said to have
been active primarily because Of
American purchasing.
The close yesterday was $1,383.75,

bought heavily, reputedly in connec-
tion with stepped-up rearmament

possible shortage of supplies as a
result
Copper was less spectacular than
tin, but its price also jumped on good
buying. Up $21.25 over closing prices
yesterday, it was quoted at s38656 a

Joy Reigns in Cabin of Good Ship Seal

The long nautically disputed ques- tlon of which is the faster, the Brown Bear or the Seal, has been settled. Capt. K. c. Talmadge and Engineer Chan Willard of the Seal are smiling no end while Capt. John o. Sellovold of the Brownie and En- gneer Bert Armstrong allow it is a matter of distance.
 The speed ''feud" between the two Game Commission vessels has been a matter of controversy for some time. Engineer Willard and Engin- eer Armstrong have been exchang- ing smirks for weeks, yea, years, and the Captains have been casting a couple of mean eyes.
 Recently the two boats put out of Seward for Valdez on their of- ficial duties. Watches were noted and the unannounced race was on. Nip and tuck they raced down the coast. It looked like a toss up. Then light fog bank settled be- tween the two crafts. When the fog bank lifted, the Seal wasn't there any more, but the Brownie found her at Valdez. Official timing re- vealed she had made the run in just 12 minutes less time than the Brown Bear
 "On a run to Seattle I can show you stern" defended Capt. Sello- void
 Huh, we didn't have her half open" countered Capt. Talmadge, supported by Engineer Will lard.
 And joy reigns supreme in the ca bin of the Seal.

 Louis Bromfield is a successful novelist, a Pulitzer prize winner, yet his greatest ambition is to write a successful play.
