The Soviet flying forces, however, first demonstrated their use on a large scale. The Ma zis apparently kept their develop ment of the Udet idea secret un- til they were ready to spring it.
 Which reminds me: A friend visiting Berlin a couple of years ago met Udet and was invited to his house to dine. Arrived there, he was amazed to find that one Of Udet's proudest possessions was an Indian suit-and no play suit, either, but an authentic buckskin jacket and britches which any In- dian chief would have been proud to wear,
 Ten years ago, Udet was at the Cleveland air races. demonstrat- ing, among other things, his trick of picking handkerchief from the ground with the wing-tip of his plane in full flight. Udet ex- pressed curiosity about the Amer ican Indians Big Eddie Ricken- packer, who was present, demon- strated an Indian war rance, whoops and all, and little blond, bullet headed Udet joined him in the stomp. Out of admiration for his performance, the hostess pre- sented Udet with the Indian suit. Udet keeps it in glass case, tells visitors it is probably the only one in Germany not in museum.

That there Is no lack of oppor-

the fact that even last year the

policies to meet the standards and
requirements of our customers and
public opinion.
The sooner we recognize that
the temper of living may never

shall gear ourselves for success

Among various steps which the
f1rm is taking are: Informing a
client when it is acting as a dealer
or IN any other capacity than as

made; when supplying printed re-

ing exactly any financial interest
which the partners, collectively or

Steel Production Turn,
Up After Decline
At Birmingham
New Orders Climb
Ahead Of Shipments
In Southern Center
BY the Associated Press.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 29.-
Steel production in this Southern
industrial center, which acted as a
weather vane for most recent spurts
in the Nations huge iron and steel
industry, has reversed its recent
downward tendency as new orders
outstripped shipments.
This fact led to forecasts in in
distrial circles here that steel output
will regain some of the ground lost
since January / before the end Of
the current quarter, June 30
The national steel production
average has dropped from the high
point of 94.4 per cent of capacity,
which followed the rush of orders
after the outbreak of European hos
tillties, to 62.5 this week.
Sharp Rise Due.
Steel production for this area will
jump three points to 81 per cent of
capacity next week. and pig iron
output Is in line with the new ten
dency with five point jump to 95
per cent of the theoretical maxi
mum.
Orders since March l, usually in
formed sources said, have exceeded
shipments while mills operated at
78 per cent. Inquiries have indi-
Gated further increase in busi-
ness before the end of the second
quarter.
Foreign business, these sources
said, is playing only a minor role,
but some tonnage is being booked
for South American countries which
formerly relied principally on Great
Britain and Germany for steel re-
Quirements.
Employment High.
Plants at Gadsden, Fairfield and
Ensley, the centers OF the Southern
steel industry, report employment
near the December peak, when Ala
bama steel production established a
new record.
The new rate of 81 per cent for
the alabama district also takes into
account an increase IN lngot ca
paclty at Republics Gadsden plant,
which has added to open hearth fur
mace output In remodellng pro-
gram since January l.
A factor in the new buying squirt,
steel sources here agreed, has been
the policy OF most dealers to MAIN
tain stocks considerably larger than
those on hand last September, when
most of them were flooded with or
derS at a time when their shelves
