Arms Orders 10 Take
Much Larger Share
Of Steel Output
go Per Cent Mark
Forecast Soon for
Some Plants
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Steel
makers estimate that as much as
90 per cent of production at some
plants will be earmarked for war
use within the next 60 days, Iron
Age said.
Pearl Harbor, the steel journal
said. changed December shipping
schedules. which originally indicated
68 to 70 per cent of output would
go for war needs.
In a weekly survey the magazine
said:
"On all sections of the industrial
front are signs that the United
States at war is little like the
United States at peace.
For another week all the en-
phasiS has been on great war pro-
duction, with the need of peacetime
plants unable to get materials or
defense orders still largely over
shadowed by the demands of war.
Typical of the new production
goals being set as result OF United
States entry into a shooting war IS
that of the machine tool industry.
Long under forced draft because
of its strategic position in the flow
from raw materials to ships, tanks
and planes, the machine tool makers
are now being asked to lift produc-
ton so to 100 per cent.
Progress in the conversion of
peacetime plants to war production
is reported on many sectors, par
ticularly in the automobile, cleo
trical supply and washing machine
industries.
Despite the virtual stoppage of
on-defense orders for steel, incom-
ing defense orders for vital war use
are lifting December booki ngs
slightly above orders for the corre-
spending period of November.
The steel industry this week is
foregoing, to great extent, the
usual Christmas shutdown to avoid
any unnecessary loss of vital steel
supplies. Ingot operations for the
current week are estimated by the
Iron Age at 93.5 per cent, a decline
of four points from week ago. In
the Christmas week Of 1910 the rate
dropped II points"

Old Trusts Give
Philadelphia Poor
| Winters Fuel
sy the Associated Press,


PHILADELPHIA. Dec. "a. -
Christmas fires blazed gaily in hum
dreds of poor homes throughout the
city today all because of an 18th
century Santa Claus.
Kindly William Carter, IN 1877,
left the city six ground rents to
provide fuel for the needy and start
ed a series of trusts whose value
now has sWelled to s7l4000.
Mr.. Carriers own modest contrlbu-
tion had amounted to only $500 by
1870. but II other Philadelphians
took up his idea and willed TO the
city estates ranging from an an
nual S32 to that given by John
Maynes in 1919, valued at s250,0OO.
The income from the invested
capital of the various trusts this
year is expected to make available
more than 1000 tons Of coal.
Most of it is distributed free, al
though Elias Boudinot, famed Revo-
lutionary patriot and philanthropist,
stipulated in his 1912 will that the
fuel purchased with his money be
made available to the poor at about
half the current market price.

Co-ordinating Office
I.C. Head Will Direct
Use Of Facilities So as
To Speed War Effort

Acting to coordinate the various
carriers and obtain the most efficient
use of all facilities for the war effort,
President Roosevelt has created an
Office of defense transportation
headed by Joseph B. Eastman, chair
man of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
This step was announced late yes
terday at the White House, the
President telling a press conference
that the new Office will deal with
rail, motor. inland waterway. pipe
line and air transport and with
coastwise and inter-coastal ship
ping
The agency will determine how
existing facilities may best be used
in handling an increased volume
of traffic due to the war effort and
will stimulate the provision OF any
additional facilities and equipment
which may be needed
1t is charged with preventing traf-
fic congestion and assuring orderly
and prompt movement of men, ma
terials and supplies to the points
where they are needed. 1t must
coordinate domestic traffic with
ocean shipping to avoid congestion
at ports and maintain a maximum
flow of traffic.
Another problem within its jur-
isdiction is that of adequate stor-
age and warehouse space. Further
more, it will represent the defense
interest of the Government in ne
gotiating rates with domestic car
riers
Priority orders of the o. P. NJ.

the new Office in considering the

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Wheat prices
were up almost a cent bushel and
soybeans as much as cents at one
time in today's short pre-holiday
grain market session, but the gains
were reduced before the close.
Belief that price ceilings on fats
and oils will be raised led to buying
of soybeans inasmuch as this would
affect soybean oil. Some mill buying
appeared in the wheat pit. with
short covering also in evidence Corn
and oats were strengthened by the
official estimate showing hog produc-
ton is expanding even faster than
expected. Receipts of all grain at
most terminals were below those of
a week ago, which impaired some
strength to the market.
