Some Deterioration
In Nations $ Supply Of

NEW YORK, July 29.-The Iron
Age said today that while there had
been some deterioration" In Amer
ica's steel supply, tales OF tank
plants and other prime armament
producers closing their doors are
greatly exaggerated"
The trade journal said this weeks
slight drop in scheduled ingot pro-
duction was due to shutdown of
open hearths for badly overdue re-
pair and rebuilds, with scrap de-
hciency for the moment an almost
negligible contributing factor"
Ship Plate Spotty.
ship plate continues to be spotty
and tight. but additional improve
ment Is in prospect, mostly at the
expense of sheet. strip and struc-
tural production" Iron Age said in
its weekly review
''Of particular significance is that
for some months lease lend ship
ments of steel have taken really
terrific bites out of output, but now
export is being severely pared down
to more digestible level.
The critical domestic tightness
in semi-finished steel and bars
should quickly reflect this action.
Control Long Overdue.
Moreover, the current widespread
and very vocal fears of many steel
users regarding their supply posi-
tion should within a fortnight sink
to whispers as the unlamented
priorities setup is blanketed by what
the War Production Board desig-
mates as production directives. but
what many others insist on calling
the quota system.
"A strict, sensitive and flexible
statistical control over steel usage
has long been overdue to kill ofl
careless treatment of delivery dates
poor timing Of deliveries and growth
Of unbalanced stocks"
