Steel Makers
Get Fewer But
Larger Orders
End Of Civilian Work
Brings Concentration
in Armament Jobs

CLEVELAND, June S.-Current
orders for steel are being received
in smaller number. though usually
for larger tonnages and longer
periods. This affords no relief to
steelmakers, as books are crowded
with sufficient business to keep
them busy for many months, says
Steel.
Decline in requests may be
attributed to cessation of manu-
facture of consumer goods under
War Production Board orders and
the fact that many consumers have
found their priority ratings are
too low to give them standing with
mills.
While new orders have declined.
mills are receiving specifications
against ALA contracts In heavier
volume, in many cases exceeding
shipments. ALLEGATIONS are becom-
ing more frequent as WPB aid is
sought to untangle conflicting
needs under top ratings. Expecta-
ton grows that complete alloca-
ton of steel must be undertaken
to distribute steel where most
needed.
NEED LITTLE SHEET
Sheet requirements for war are
relatively light in comparison with
heavier steel products and as a
result semifinished steel for sheet
mills is limited and some sheet
departments are working only part
time or not at all. Inasmuch as
large capacity normally devoted
to strip and sheets now is engaged
in plate production, remaining
capacity for sheets is compar-
atively limited.
Forthcoming revision of Prior
tiles Regulation No. 3 will require
more than 10000 companies, in
Guiding most of those handling
large war contracts, to operate
under Production Requirements
Plan after July l. 1t is announced
that all but a few classes of COM
panies needing more than $1,000
worth of metal for third quarter
must apply for priority assistance
under PRP befora July l.
NEW LEAN ALLOYS
New National Emergency steels,
so-called lean alloys, now are being
produce and made available
through various distributors. Users
are asked to try the new analyses
in their regular production and
report results. Results of their use
are being charted (pp. $500 and
are being made available to the
industry as guide to broader use.
Pig iron distribution in June has
been the heaviest for some time
as more consumers obtain war
work. In some cases meters who
had large inventories when man.
datory distribution started have
been working from their stocks,
without further deliveries, and
now have reached the end of the
surplus and are asking ALLEGATIONS
to support their priority pro-
duction.

behind each OF 'em. He SAYS he
can make deliveries in about treble
the quantities suggested by Mel
son.
Now, those figures apply to mill
tary merchandise.
Express it in terms Of men!
Say these boys weigh 200 pounds
apiece--a pretty liberal allowance.
That means 2,400 fighters per
train. At such lick of arrivals,
they'd make dent in any enemy
on earth before long. And their
supplies would be accompanying
'em, in supplementary freight
trains.
II the thing works out militarily
according to Hoyle, it'll be inter-
esting to watch what it'll do to
peacetime passenger and CONNER
cial transportation after the war.

usually affords permanent immun-
ity, but every general practitioner
can cite cases Of second and even
third attacks.
Nine-tenths of city residents
above the age of 10 have had
humps, whereas in scattered farm
communities, remote from the city,
only about 80 per cent of the en-
tire population have had mumps.
In some regions only one young
adult out Of 10 has had it. This
explains why pupil nurses and mil
itary recruits are apt to come
down with the disease within the
first three months of their train
ing. Thus humps becomes a mill
tary problem and concerns US in
that respect.
Recent research has confirmed
the finding of Johnson and Good
pasture in 1884 that humps is a
virus disease. The virus exists in
the saliva during the first 48 hours
of the disease and can be trans
ferred to monkeys. 1t has also
been transferred to humans when
experimental volunteers allowed
the virus to be sprayed into their
mouths.
These studies in the considera-
ton Of humps, however, have not
advanced us in discovering meth
cd Of treatment nor has it really
helped very much in prevention,
although prevention Of mumps by
the use of convalescent serum
after exposure is of established
value. The protection afforded
lasts only about Id days and is
therefore of value in preventing
an epidemic but is of little value
once an epidemic is under way.
Mumps affects the salivary
glands. and the swelling Of the
face is due to inflammation Of the
parotid and sub-maxillary glands.
On the whole it is a mild disease
in spite Of some complications
which are troublesome, but its i'm
portance is derived not from its
severity but from the amount Of
disability that it causes.
In World War l mumps stood
third among the diseases in time
lost in the hospital, ranking next
TO venereal disease and influenza.
Undoubtedly with the surge of re-
search work on the virus diseases
that is going on now, methods of
prevention and cure are likely to
be found which will mean an in
crease in the efficiency Of the Army
personnel.
One of the reasons why humps
causes so much time to be lost is on
account of the long incubation
period and the long period of quar-
antine which the medical corps of
the Army and Navy insist upon.
The incubation period-the time
between exposure to the disease
and the time when the symptoms
appear--is usually at least two
weeks. The quarantine period
the time during which an individ-
ual is capable Of spreading the d.
sease even after the symptoms
nave subsided-is from six weeks
TO two months. This quarantine
period is not usually insisted upon
in civil life, but it always was in
my day in Army hospitals and
meant, Of course, a tremendous
loss Of time.

He didn't deprecate preliminary

explained, there are military in

familiar with, in addition to the
technique Of plane operation over
an enemy terrain, but it evidently
is his judgment that the intangi-.

into the vital "tangibility" of SUI

any kid requires some primary in
structon to fit him for subsequent
adult activities. They're mere
reading, writing and 'rithmetic,
though, in comparison with what's
to follow.
I've had occasion before to refer
10 army and navy mems comments
on the planes possibilities.
Limitations:
They conceded that aviators are
indispensable observers, frightfully
destructive raiders and, both as be-
tween themselves and, in certain
cases. as combatants against land
lings and seamen. But they've
maintained that the skyhooters
can't land in a country and occupy
it permanently, that they can't
swoop down on distant targets
without carriers to take of from,
that they can't transport supplies
in adequate quantities to keep a
foreign invading force, under their
own colors, in action.
Now, aviation development has
begun to debate this idea.
Chairman Donald M. Nelson OF
the war production Board is es-
tablishing an Air Cargoes COM
mittee that'll evolve a plane equal

ton almost without limit-to any

Heretofore a planes been rated
as good for carrying small crew
and few handfuls Of bombs ade-

their morale effect, rnaybe-but
not the military kind.
Yet a morale raid can have It's
military reaction. It's obvious in
Japan.
Current dope is that U. s. Av-
ator Doolittle's has given the Japs

80 Enemy Planes
Shot Down in Battle

I only saw one air combat and
that was well on the horizon. 1t
was between a Martlet fighter
and an Italian Shopper. The
Martlet's first dive produced a
trail of smoke from one engine,
and the next sent the Shopper
hurting into the sea.
That was all saw, but the
known results of 80 enemy air
craft shot down by the Fleet
Air Arm, and the raggedness of
some Of the enemy formations
which did get through, made all
too clear what those gallant
young naval pilots were doing
for US during that critical
period.
Next morning, our Fleet Air
Arm fighters were off again at
crack OF dawn, and throughout
the day they were almost con-
tinuously in the air as forma-
tion after formation came to at
tack.
At about a quarter 10 eight,
that evening, there was well
