Steel Circles Interested
In $40 Scrap Price Plan

NEW YORK. Jan. 7 LP,.-Steel in
dustry circles expressed keen inter-
est today in the proposal by Defense
Commission officials to establish a
s20-a-ton top price for No. heavy
melting steel scrap.
b Responsible sources said that in
recent days Pittsburgh buyers had
paid as much as S25 a ton for such
scrap although official quotations
were s23 so bid, s24 asked.
Non-integrated steel producers de-
pend on scrap almost exclusively for
the making of their product and
are said to have used up much of
the supplies they purchased before
the present price rise got under
way late last year A reduction of
81 or SIS a ton on the cost of their
raw materials was regarded by steel
men as important to profitable op-
erations.
1t was said that the proposed
maximum price would result in a
cost saving of from s1.75 to s225
a ton for the large integrated steel
companies who require smaller pro-
portions of scrap in their products.

group appealed for full cooperation
of industry and labor and all other
sectors of American life to make
this Nation truly the arsenal of
democracy.
In the immediate future" they
said, Everything in our national
life must be subordinated to the
necessity for defense. If the
totalitarian forces of the world are
victorious, all the hard-won rights
of labor will be destroyed and both
capital and labor will become the
involuntary vassals of an all-power-
full state. Labor has as great a
stake in this crisis as capital, and
both must work together harmo-

cratic victory in the world"
Among the broad powers conferred
upon the new Office was that pro-
mulgated in the Selective Service Act

over industrial enterprises found to
be unco-oporative in the emergency.

Mr.. Roosevelt was most blunt in
rejecting all implications that there

designate a single responsible head

piled that he had-by the name of

Among the precise functions desig-
mated for the new Office was that
of co-ordinating the stated require

the agency will have major RESPONSE

ing our own defense program for the

Scrap Iron Control
Threatened Unless
Industry Cuts Price
Defense Commission Asks
Voluntary Reduction Of
Several Dollars q Ton ~
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Leon Henderson, Defense Com.
mission member assigned to price
matters, said today that drastic
steps looking toward control Of
iron and steel scrap prices would
be recommended unless the industry
made a voluntary reduction of at
least several dollars per ton on
future sales.
Mr.. Henderson's statement was
made in press release on a meeting
yesterday with scrap dealers from
cities scattered throughout the
country.
A voluntary reduction of at least
several dollars per ton on future
sales of iron and steel scrap had
been urged on the industry by the
price stabilization division Of the
National Defense Commission, the
commissioner said.
Unless voluntary action is sue
ceSSful, drastic steps looking toward
control will be recommended" Mr..
Henderson added
The statement said representa-
tiVes Of the trade had agreed with
Government authorities at yester-
days conference that current prices
on scrap we're several dollars per
ton higher than necessary to bring
out the tonnage required to support
present capacity operations Of the
steel industry.
The ultimate objective Of the
price reduction requested, Mr.. Hen
oerSon said, was to bring the market
to a level not to exceed $40 per
ton for No heavy melting steel
scrap at Pittsburgh.
Prices for steel scrap have in
creased in recent months and COM
mission officials have been reported
to be apprehensive lest this increase
be made the basis for an increase
next quarter in steel prices, which
would affect the cost of the national
defense program.
Mr.. Hendersons statement said
those present at yesterdays confer
ence agreed that despite record re-
qulrements the scrap supply would
be adequate for all needs provided
material available were released for
consumption. Scrap trade authori-
ties also agreed, it was said. that a
reduction in prices would thaw out
frozen supplies.
The request for a price reduction
was expected to be presented by
members of the trade to a conven-
ton of the iron and steel scrap in
dustry in Baltimore today.
Mr.. Henderson did not specify
what drastic steps" might be rec
commended If voluntary action was
not successful.

Down the Stretch
By GREG JOHNSON.


A half hundred owners, trainers,
jockeys and stable hands were stand
ing in the gap near the clubhouse
this morning when Don Meade went
onto the racing strip astride one Of
George Odom's charges.
An oldtimer spoke up: "If I were
wagering on who would be the lead
ing veteran rider during the winters
racing at this track, there would
be my pick"
The majority of the gathering
seemed to have similar ideas. 1t
seems that Meade, who was born
December IL, 1918, at Plankington,
S. Oak, is just about the most popu-
lar veteran rider here.
From 1880 to 1899, inclusive, Meade
was up on 5,749 horses. He won 978
races. finished second 857 times and
was third 795 times for a II average.
His mounts earned S1,255 ,419 during
that period.
Meade spent 1897 and 1888 on the
ground, due to his failure to abide
by the rules of racing Don suffered
during those "a months of idleness,
and he must have profited by same,
for he came out in 1899 and topped
Americas list with 255 winners in
1924 mounts for a 20 average.
Meade began his sensational rid
ing career on July 2, 1880, at Lans-
downe Park. His career has been a
colorful one. He has ridden the
winners of practically every Amer
ican stake of prominence, including
the Kentucky Derby. He has been
kidnapped and held for ransom, but
outwitted his abductors and turned
them over to the police. He is mar
ried and has family.
Standing not quite feet tall, he
keeps his weight around l08 pounds
and rides with probably the shortest
stirrup of any knight of the saddle
