ALBANY, N. Y, May 28.-New
York Central Railroad operating
revenue the first four months of 1941
increased s17814,3O0 over a similar
period last year, largely due to in
creased war purchases from abroad

with a deficit of s1,459, 100 in the
1910 period.
Citing the problem of handling
an ever-increasing volume of busi-
ness. Williamson said the Associa-
ton of American Railroads has es-
timated 10000 additional freight
cars will be required by the industry
during 1912 and 5000 during 1943.

cars and locomotives.

Mandatory Priorities
Declared Necessary
In Steel Jam
Iron Age Advocates
Prompt Action by
Federal Officials
By tie Associated Press.

BY Tie ASSOClHteu FIcss.
NEW YORK, May 28.-The maga-
zine Iron Age said today 'the steel
situation has arrived at an impasse
from which the only way of escape
is by the prompt adoption of man
datory priorities, especially on those
products in which the demand far
exceeds the available supply"
That such action" it added, will
be taken soon at Washington there
seems to be no doubt. Products
which are likely to be included in
the first order under the new priori-
ties law are plates, shapes, bars and
semi finished steel"
The magazine continued:
Defense requirements amounting
to several million tons, for which a
place must be found on mill sched-
ules. have brought about further
congestion of steel orders, actual and
prospective.
Early Deliveries Asked.
"As much of this tonnage calls
for deliveries starting fairly soon,
the inevitable result will be to push
aside commercial orders, many of
which have already been delayed
weeks beyond the time of shipment
originally promised.
Consumption of steel for civilian
uses is beginning to feel the effects
of the mounting requirements for
defense"
Iron Age cited the British pro-
gram, amounting to 10000 tons of
semi-flnished and finished steel, as
among the large requirements for
which rolling space must be found
In addition to this tonnage. the
report said. the British want 240000
tons of low PHOSPHORUS and Besse-
mer pig iron and 100000 to 100000
tons Of tin plate.
"Coinciding with these develop
ments." it asserted, is the sudden
influx of line pipe inquiries. These
aggregate close TO 100000 tons. oi
which about 100000 tons take a
defense rating The others stand
little chance of being considered al
+ this time"
Revised Report Due.
The survey said the revised report
on steel capacity by Gano Dunn
probably will be presented to Presi-
dent Roosevelt this week and that
some expansion of facilities by eX-
isting steel companies rather than
construction of entirely new plants
| may be advocated. - A steel
plant expansion program seems to
be indicated. though not of the
fantastic proportions advocated by
some Washington authorities"
1ngot production was reported
down slightly to SO per cent of
capacity owing to furnace repairs
in two districts. The Iron Age scrap
composite price was unchanged at

Control Plans Watched.

TULSA Okla. May % P)-The
oil industry, which has been battling
any move toward Federal legislation,
looked today to Washington for some
hint on whether price control will
be instituted for petroleum and its
products.
One conference of oil men and
national defense officials already has
been held. 1t was described as ex-
ploratory. Another is reported
scheduled between Leon Henderson,
head of the Office of Price Admins
tration and Civilian Supply, and
crude oil purchasers.
The question of price control ap-
parently is linked with the posi-
bility OF rationing of gasoline and
crude oil supplies in the Eastern
and Northeastern part of the Ma
ton. One source asserted ration
ing, should it become necessary
would have to be accompanied by
price control.
Further Rise Foreseen.
| But in the Middle West and Gulf
producing areas, still higher prices
for crude are predicted. Producers
point out that they are facing con-
tinued higher costs of production
and exploration.
The question of adequate supplies
of crude oil and gasoline for the
East is complex. Some oil men be-
lieve existing facilities can be pooled
to bridge the gap left by diversion
OF Gulf Coast tankers to England
until new pipe lines are laid.
Consumption figures for that sec
tion are higher, however, than ex-
, pected so far this year. and as a
result some executives take a gloomy
view of the situation.
Projected pipe lines would remedy
| the situation, but pipe lines take
time-and steel-to build. The Of
flee of Production Management al
ready has asked the industry to
| shave its steel requirements 20 per
cent. Given the steel and the men
the industry could put new pipe
lines into service in six months or
a year.
