Steel Circles Cheere(
By Higher Ceiling
On Scrap Prices
Revision Is Expected
To Clear Way for
Adequate Supplies
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 23.-The
Governments action in revising iron
and steel scrap prices to permit
larger returns for lower grades. was
seen today in steel circles as move
likely to end shortage that was
slowing up operation in numerous
mills.
1T clears the air and will restore
a steady flow Of supply" asserted
one of Pittsburgh's largest scrap
brokers. "A short time after the
new schedule was announced I
booked a 750-ton order, one Of the
largest in weeks"
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son announced the revision late yes
terday In Washington. 1t represent
ed a compromise from demands Of
many for a general price increase
and OF others for the Government
to take over the scrap business.
Some weeks ago the Once Of
Production Management, alarmed at
the slowing down Of scrap move
ment. opened an intensive campaign
to draw a supply from households,
stores and plants. But dealers
claimed this was not a success be-
cause prices failed to furnish the
needed incentive.
The new scale segregates various
grades Of scrap, according to use,
with one price ceiling for each type
For example, a $50 ceiling for
Pittsburgh was established for seven
grades Of scrap used in open hearths,
in which roughly IS tons Of scrap
and IS tons Of pig iron are melted
with other additions into 100 tons of
the steel ingots.
