r, the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 1l.-Steel pro-
duction this week will set a new
record at 1881 300 net tons, with
mills operating at 99.6 per cent OF
capacity, the American Iron g. Steel
Institute estimated today.
This weeks operations, up l per
cent from the previous period, COM
pared with 98.6 per cent, or STA, 600
tons, last week and with the previous
high mark of SO per cent, or / ,68l SOC
tons, in the week of March %.
A month ago mill operations were
at 972 per cent of capacity, indicat-
ing an output of 1,651 100 net tons OF
ingots. and year ago the rate was
99.2 per cent of smaller capacity
or 1901 900 tons.
CLEVELAND, May H. Steel
production is increasing instead OF
decreasing as was feared some
months ago, Steel said today, with
a gratifying feature the increase in
scrap supplies as a result OF the
salvage campaign.
Nevertheless steelmakers are un-
able to build reserves Of scrap for
next winter "and concern is felt
over prospects for that period. Col
lections from dormant sources are
returning good results but when
these are exhausted the tonnage will
fall back to production from current
fabrication, thus cutting down the
flow materially. Licensing of scrap
material dealers. ordered last week
by o. p A., will afford closer con-
troll of the industry.
Rapid spread Of production to
war goods as more consumers divert
from civilian work is indicated by
the greater diversification of buyers,
many now taking forms of steel diff
fering widely from their normal
lines.
The magazine reported 21 MAJ jor
steel producers earned 1913 per cent
less in 1942's first quarter than in
the same 1941 period, and 10.1 per
cent less than in 1941's fourth
quarter, due mainly to heavier pro-
visions for taxes.

Russell school. Detroit, who. with

ranging from professionals to the

tries, has made a survey OF foreign

A clearly defined district OF any

Penn declared, does not exist In
Detroit at present. All OF the for
eign groups among the negroes In
Detroit have tried to locate very
closely together. Mrs. Penn stated
but real estate values and the rear
OF racial segregation that has been
developed by the native born Ne
gro, she added. have prevented THIS
grouping.
Between 500 and 1000 OF the for
eign born Negroes in Detroit have
come from the West Indies, she
said. which is probably due. she ex-

ownership. OF this group the larg-
est percentage Is from Jamaica,

There is one other job however,
which is peculiarly our own and
which we can do no matter how
tied down we are--and no matter
how little money or time we have.
The most serious effect OF war
is never on the generation fight
ing IL but on the generation follow
ing. The tension. excitement, dis
ruption OF the regular living fails
hardest on them. for they have
not had the background. the bitter
knowledge with which to proper
ly evaluate happenings. Even when
they do not show any immediate
effect. fears, inhibItions and ha-
treds can be started which may well
scar young minds permanently. We
all know how childhood memories
endure. Remember that Hitlers

who faltered and hampered and

II is up to the women 10 guard
the minds OF the children-not by
shutting them away from truth
but by teaching and training them
TO see clearly and without fear.
The women must keep the light OF
faith burning. They must never be
too occupied 10 scotch the first
sign OF subversiye propaganda.
They must teach those who look 70
them for guidance the destructive
influence OF this propaganda
which advocates racial discrimina-

ton and their children from Bit
terness and hatred. They must edu-
cate them in understanding - to
shun the evil act because II is evil
not because II Is against them.
They must use the war as clar-
ion call TO noble ideals and high
standards OF neighborliness.
But the three principal gifts they
must give to the children are
peace. love. and happiness az home.
This requires rigid self-discipline--
II Is not dependent upon material
things. II takes so little TO make a
child happy-and a home where
there Is peace. quiet and cheerful
voices and unfailing love will inn
munize a child against fear.
We may be anxious. we may be
afraid. we may be sad-but we can
keep that TO ourselves and not
shadow our children's lives. They
are the ones for whom we are fight

ones who will rule that better
