Australia by his family as well as by
members Of his war cabinet.
In Washington, the War Depart
ment today also told OF Mr.. Quezon' s
safe arrival in Australia, and related
his close cooperation with Gen.
Macarthur.
War Department spokesmen did
not indicate by which method Mr..
Quezon eluded the Japanese block
ade. though it was assumed here
that he made his dash by motorboat
in the same manner as Gen. Mac
Arthur.
President Quezon's health has
been reported as very bad, and q
desire to obtain better medical
treatment may have been one rea-
son for his departure to Australia
Whereabouts Previously = Secret.
President Quezons whereabouts
since he left Manila prior to the
Japanese occupation Of the city
January 2 have been an ofhcial
secret. although he has been men
toned from time to time in dis
patches referring to his temporary
capital somewhere in the Philip
pines"
Only last Saturday the Toxic
radio broadcast reports that Presi-
dent Quezon had died at Cebu. Sew
eral conflicting stories were told by
the Japanese and other Axis sources,
one version saying President Quezon
had died after an illness and an
other declaring he had been muir
dered" on orders from Gen. Mac
Arthur.
Serving Second Term.
Oficial sources in Washington did
not trouble to comment on the Toxic
reports. which were regarded in
some quarters as fishing expedi-
ton" to learn President Quezon',
true whereabouts.
President Quezon took the oath of
office for his second term as Presi-
dent Of the Philippine Common
wealth December 30. Early this
month he issued . proclamation
from his temporary capital that the
Filipinos' spirit Of resistance is un-
daunted" and that his people would
fight on to the end.
In Washington Joaquin M. Eliz-
aide, resident commissioner of the
Commonwealth Of the Philippines
said he felt that undoubtedly Pres
ident Quezon, with some members
of his war cabinet, would come to
Washington to confer with Govern
ment officials here.

Arms Needs Absorb
Most Of National
Steel Co. Output
30 Per Cent Of TotoI
Required for War;,
Weir Reports

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH. March 27.-More
than 90 per cent Of National Steel
Corps output Is going directly or
indirectly into war production,
Chairman e. T. Weir told stock
holders yesterday, adding that the
output will be increased by new
facilities.
During 1941. Weir said In the
corporations annual report, the
company spent $18, 8,400, 900 for i'm
provements, including two 1,200-ton
blast furnaces in Ohio Valley and
Great Lakes area plants and the re-
construction of a third furnace.
An additional $4,000, 900 will be
spent in 1912. he said, on other
equipment, including two new elec-
trolytic lines costing about s., ESQ, 900.
The work will be financed en-
tirely by the company, he reported,
adding:
THE new blast furnace capacity
puts the company In an improved
position with regard to its pig iron
requirements. This Is particularly
fortunate since there is . serious
deficiency in both the quantity and
quality Of scrap supplies and pig
iron may be used to a certain ex-
tent to replace scrap in the pro-
duction Of steel. At our merchant
blast furnaces, the additional pro-
duction Of pig iron allows us to in
crease our shipments to other COM
panies which are making important
war materials"
Weir said that as the result Of the
adaptation of a 96-inch mill in the
Great Lakes area to the production
Of large tonnage Of steel plates the
comany would be engaged perma-
nently in the steel plate business to a
much greater extent than hereto
fore"
Reporting net earnings Of ST.
los, $50 in 1941. equal to SITS per
share on capital stock, Mr.. Weir
said:
with much heavier taxation in
prospect and the cost OF doing bus
iness increasing, it Is certain that
earnings cannot continue to be in
the same proportion to operations as
in 1941. The best long-range inter-
est Of the corporation will be served
by maintaining reserves that will
enable us not only to keep all prop
critics in a high state Of current ef-
ficiency but also to prepare against
the impact Of postwar conditions"

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 26.-The
Freeport Sulphur Co. during l94l
shipped the largest tonnage Of sui
phur in its history and, through q
subsidiary, the largest tonnage OF
manganese, Lanbourne M. Williams,
jr., president, reported.
Net income for 194l was $3,149,-
$50, equal to 1896 . common share,
compared with $3,033,472 or $381 q
share in 1910.
Williams said that although the
company had been called on for a
record tonnage Of sulphur, pro
duction was increased to keep virtu-
ally abreast OF increasing ship
ments." The manganese subsidiary
Cuban-American Manganese Corp,
expanded its plant by one-third
and encouraged small n-scale Cuban
mipers and as q result was able to
ship 100, 900 tons Of ore to the United
States. about 40 per cent more than
ever before. Manganese is an i'm
portant alloying metal used in high
grade steels.
In addition, williams said, Free
port Sulphur acquired an interest in
Nicaro Nickel Co., which owns In
Cuba deposits Of ore containing
that necessary metal, and Is under
taking construction OF . plant In
this country to recover nickel from
the Cuban ore. The $50 900 900 prof.
ect will be Government financed.

Retail Trade Scars
To Highest Level.
Since YuIe Rush
Loy-Awoy' Purchases
Add to Pre-
Store Volumes
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 27.-The pre-
Easter buying surge carried retail
sales during the last week to . new
peak since the Christmas rush, Dun
& Bradstreet reported today.
A survey showed seasonal interest
at its height, giving variety, spe-
cia1ty, department and shoe stores
wider er-than-average sales increases.
In addition. the trade review said.
"lay-away" purchasing in apparel
and other lines pushed volume up
ward. The general average increase
was estimated at 16 to % per cent
over the comparable l94l period.
Regional gains over 194l were IA
to 10 per cent in the Northwest de-
spite bad weather, 16 to Is per cent
In New England, is to 81 per cent
in the East, 10 to rs per cent in the
Middle West, IA to "A per cent in
the South. Is to "a per cent IN the
Southwest and Is to 20 per cent
on the Pacific Coast.
Anticipatory purchasing Of mems
clothing to beat style restrictions ac-
counted for . heavy turnover in
that line, the review said, adding
that In some sections retailers were
reported planning to ration mems
furnishings to eliminate multiple
buying.
Wholesale volume reflected the
retail sales rise, aided by the up
swing in reordering and increased
bookings of some lines of summer
and fall merchandise.
Wholesalers reported filling orders
in some instances had become diff
cult because of fabric scarcities. AT
the same time, advance buying OF
staple items moderated under the
restraint Of rationing, the soldup
condition Of manufacturers and the
problem of financing further in
ventory expansion.

During the week ended March Is
member bank reserve balances de-
creased $412 100000 Reductions in
member bank reserves arose from
increases of $413,00000O in Treas
