CHICAGO, Oct. 8 LP.-Steelmas-
ter Tom Girdler declared TODAY II
all the facts we're known, believe II
would be revealed that not all the
steel being currently produced is
being currently consumed 4"
The surplus is being tucked awav

Steel Corps chairman. Protective
buying, is the new term coined to
describe the procedure. believe
some of that has been going on In
steel Better operati of priorities
should do much to straighten out
the tangle'
Continuing an address drafted for
the National Safety Councils mining
section luncheon, the industrialist
said no one questions the need for
central planning and for the appIi-
cation OF many kinds of control
during an emergency like the pres
ent. But We must make sure that
controls so necessary in wartime are
not carried over as permanent poll

NEW YORK. Oct. 8 pa fur
ther decline Of 1900 barrels in the

Obstacles Preventing
Full Use Of Steel
Plants Criticized
Iron Age Says Efforts
To Increase Copoeity
Are Overshudowed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-Obstacles
that prevented the full use of many
steel and metal-working plants this
week overshadowed the very Sub
stantial efforts made to increase in
dustrial capacity for national de-
fense, Iron Age said today in the
weekly review of the steel industry.
ITO many observers, the publica-
ton said, lit seemed that these OBJ
stacleS, which include strikes and
slowdowns, shortages OF iron and
steel scrap and other vital raw ma
terials. and priorities curtailments
and shutdowns-all involving the
use of existing equipment-were get
ting relatively less attention from
Washington than the subject Of in
dustrial expansion.
Under the S. P. A. B.-approved
plan for new steel plant capacity a
tremendous strain will be thrown on
suppliers of steel plant equipment,
despite the use of highest priority
ratings, and will not completely fill
defense and civilian needs for steel.
"Of more immediate significance
than added steel capacity are the
priority shutdowns which this week
really began to bite into the country's
industrial and economic structure.
Since several steel plants were
forced TO curtan operations, due to
lack of scrap and because of the
Gary strike, the national rate Of
steel production dropped half point
to SO per cent from 98.5 per cent last
week Pittsburgh district operations
rose one point to 100 per cent and
the Valleys Youngstown two points
to l02 per cent. The Chicago rate
declined eight points to SO per cent.
Meanwhile the volume of steel
specifications in the past week has
again turned upward and steel COM
panies in some instances are book
ing orders for 10 to Is per cent more
steel than they are producing or
shipping. Consequently. steel back
logs are again increasing, and in
view of the obstacles to higher pro-
duction are likely to remain at
record levels for some time to come. "

Survey 10 Seek Cost
OF Rehabilitation
Of Rejeetees
Cross Section Of
Situation to Be Token
From Local Boords

District Selective Service, with
cooperation of several other agen-
cies, soon will launch a survey to
determine the probable cost of
bringing up to acceptable physical
standard men who have been re-
Jected for military service.
William E. Leahy, District direc-
tor of Selective Service, explained
that under preliminary plans laid
down yesterday it is expected to
take cross section of the rejected
men of the city by drawing on a
certain number from each of the 25
selective service boards here.
The inquiry will be directed at
the problem of how many of those
rejected would be willing to be re-
habilitated, and how much 1t would
cost to bring them up to the re-
qulred physical standard.
Statistics to Be Compiled.
On the basis of this. Mr.. Leahy
expects to be able, with the CO.
operation of the various agencies
whose help already has been en-
listed, to develop within two or
three weeks some dependable sta
tlstlcs on the matter.
Preliminary plans for the survey
were discussed at a meeting yes
terday afternoon at headquarters
Of the District Medical Society
The conference was attended b.
representatives of several different
organizations.
The District of Columbia is one
OF 20 communities selected from the
entire country to make such a
survey in order to provide a sam
pie OF what the Nation wide proc
lem will be like President Roose-
velt and national officers of Sc

Agency, Public Health Service and
other groups have expressed con-
Germ over the rejectee problem.

Trade Official Warns
Against Cutting Off

Geist Points Out u. S.

Of Some Friendly Nations
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.--Raymond
H. Geist, chief of the Division of
Commercial Affairs of the State
Department. warned against the
extreme curtailment of noh-defense
United States exports today and
asserted that this country is not
only the arsenal of democracies
resisting aggression, but the sole
source of goods which certain friend
~ nations require
In an address at the 28th National
Foreign Trade Convention, he said
there is danger that, on account
Of the general curtallment of produc-
ton except for the defense needs in
various lines, manufacturers who in
the past have done an appreciable
volume of export business will con-
slider that for the time being business
can be well confined to the domestic
field and the export market cut off.
This practice would not be in
accord with the realities of the inter-
national situation
Called Short Sighted.
. Mr. Geist said that in the light
of the millions spent to build a
profitable foreign trade, even though
most manufacturers could find a
ready domestic market for their
entire production. 1t is clear that
sacrificing our overseas markets and
abandoning our position built up
with so much labor and expense =
would be extremely ort-sighted
and unrealistic.
TT Is essential that both business
and Government cooperate to see
that our overseas trade is adequate
" maintained Since priorities for
ali military and defense needs are
paramount, the export trade can
only benefit at the expense of the
American consuming public. which
should be willing to do with less
goods that our neighbors might have
their minimum needs supplied"

"Hatred MOngers''

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (JTA)-
Bishop Joseph P. Hurley has de-
clared he questions the credentials
of some of the men now seeking
peace because the same men have
been melting to racial war in the
United States. "The most serious
and insidious attack upon our ma
tional spirit" is being made by
certain men who, after series
of public defeats, have now taken
refuge in the sanctuary of peace,
Bishop Hurley told the Florida di-
vision of the National Council of
Catholic Women.
Declaring he questioned the Gre
dentials of some of the men now
seeking peace because "a few
months back they were melting
our people to the worst kind of
war-civil war;" The prelate said:
81 refer to the men who were re-
sponsible for that vulgar, hate
inspired campaign against our
Jewish fellow-citizens which even
perpetrated attempts at racial dis
elimination and mob violence. It
has been said that liberty is the
last refuge of the scoundrel. Peace,
as I have described it, may well
be the last refuge in this country
of the Nazi propaganda"
