HOME SCANDAL
 | IS BOOMERANG
County Board Upsets the Hearing With Charge
 Against Commission

Hartford, Conn, April 28--(UP)-- A bill proposing state guardianship of all neglected children now com mitted to county institutions seem ed doomed today following hear ing by the public welfare commit tee of the General Assembly.
 Using the recent scandal at the Windham County temporary nome for children as a boost for the measure transferring control of the children from counties to the state. it seemed likely bill would be drawn stripping the state welfare and health departments of their present seats on boards of man. agement of county homes.
 This, it was indicated, would place full responsibility for care of the children on the counties, as op- posed to the present divided con- trol.
 The Connecticut Child Welfare association was chief sponsor of the transfer measure, while most of the county commissioners in the state were present in opposition. About II of them took the floor against the bill.
 Surprise of the hearing was the statement by Rep. T. Emmett Claire, D., Killingly, member of the Windham County board of inquiry opposing the bill. He indicated blame for the home scandal at Put nam should be placed on the door step of state departments because they were consulted" in the hiring of MT. and Mrs. Philip Provandie, superintendent and matron cf the home, respectively.
 Provandie is being held for su- perior court on a charge of inde- gently assaulting inmates and em- bazzlement while his wife is held on an embezzlement charge.
 Mrs. Dorothy Bartlett Putnam democratic representative and a member of the Investigating com mittee, said:
 We can take care of Wlndham County better than the state al- though we're ill the wrong right now. All the blame is not where you think it is."
 The bill proposed control of the children be lodged in the bureau e child welfare of the state welfare department, which now controls or phaned and neglected children un- der six years of age. When the children reach that age they are sent to county homes.
 Mrs. Ward E. Duffy, member of the public welfare council, and a proponent of the measure said the present system of county control was "unbusinesSlike."

PIC IRON PRICES
HOLDING STEADY

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 18.-Pig-
iron producers and sellers in
leading steel centers yesterday re-
affirmed current prices for fourth
quarter delivery.
Relief was felt in some steel
quarters, where prices of steel
Scrap-used on a $3.50 basis with
pig iron in producing new steel
had risen to such an extent that
steel men feared a possible ad-
vance in pig-iron quotations would
be necessary to maintain the
usual premium of basic metal over
scrap.
From a low point of around
SIT a ton established several
months ago, Steel-Scrap prices have
risen to around $22 ton.
Current quotations for pig iron,
which will rule throughout the
remainder of the year, range
around $24 a ton for basic grade;
$25 to $26 for BeSsemer, and $24
to $25 for No. 2 foundry.

STEEL SHOWS
UPWARD TREND

A turning point for the better in
the volume of new steel business
seems to be indicated by the
weeks developments.
Although the improvement is
moderate, it extends to all terri
tories, and has been brought
about largely by an increase in
buying for automobile production
and by repleniShment orders from
miscellaneous users who have been
drawing upon inventories during
recent weeks.
Considerable more tonnage will
be required to bridge the gap be-
tween shipments and new bust
ness. Steel companies backlogs
are being further reduced by an
excess of shipments over new
orders, but an approximate bal
ance was reached by a leading
Chicago producer during the week,
and it is expected that larger ton
nages from the automobile indus
try by the end of the month and
from miscellaneous consumers will
again build up backlogs by Sep
TENDER.
While the volume of buying be-
gins to show an upward trend,
mill operations are declining for
the country as a whole. Though
there have been gains, the losses
more than offset these, bringing
the average rate down to SO per
cent from an estimated 8412 per
cent last week. The Chicago dis
trict has gained a half point to
Sc per cent and the Wheeling dis
trict two points to 81 per cent,
but Pittsburgh has lost three
points to 80 per cent and Youngs-
town three points to 80 per cent.
The automobile industry ap-
pears to be the key to more pro-
nounced resumption of steel buy
ing for autumn requirements. Cur
rent output of cars is higher than
was ever before reached in the
final month of a model year, it
beings estimated that 375,000
units will be assembled during
August, last weeks total having
risen above 100000.
Industries that are taking steel
in large amounts are can manu-
featuring, farm implements and
tractors and oil well drilling and
storage.
