But when goth Century-Fox thought
OF segregating the Ritz brothers, did
the brothers protest? It was the
thought of the company that it could
give Harry Ritz starring single role
in You Can't Have Everything. ~
There was part in it written per-
fectly for that Ritz. There were no
parts in it for unit Of Ritzs.
The Ritzs were cold to the idea,
Harry most of all. Ritzs, he said in
effect, come in threes And, he added,
they do not come any other way. And
because they do not, the script was
adapted to provide for the usual allot-
ment of players named Ritz.
The only greater heresy that might
be proposed is that picture be built
around one Marx brother.

STEEL FIRMS GET
FOREIGN ORDERS
Home Demand Too Heavy to
Take Full Advantage of
Situation.
BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. January O.
Daily Metal Trade today says:
Growing world shortage of iron and
steel products is being reflected in the
receipt by domestic mills Of numerous
foreign inquiries for both semi finished
and finished steel from countries which
in the past have turned elsewhere for
their requirements.
American smelters have booked con-
siderable tinplate business recently
from some countries which seldom, If
ever, have entered this market. Prices
offered by foreign tinplate buyers are
the equivalent Of those quoted by
producers on domestic tonnage.
Considered Significant.
Within the last week youngstown
steelmakers have received q number
Of foreign inquiries. including one for
5000 tons Of billets for shipment to
Manchester, England. and another for
1000 tons Of steel bars for shipment
to Istanbul, Turkey.
These two inquiries are considered
significant, since in the past the Eng
llSn buyer mas purchased Belgian STEEL
while the Turkish interest has covered
its requirements in Germany.
With domestic demand heavy, Amer
ican producers are unable to take ad-
vantage Of the huge export demand
which apparently is developing.
Take Home Orders First.
Valley mills indicate it will be their
policy to care for all domestic business
before any attempt will be made to
cover foreign requirements.
Despite the automotive labor trouble,
steelmaking operations continue at a
high rate. and while shipments to the
automotive industry have been sus-
pended in some instances, these sus-
pensions have enabled producers to
devote most of their capacity to filling
miscellaneous demand.
