Ingots and Shapes

Ihe laynan is in danger of becoming confused, in all the discussion about steel output, if he ignores the big difference between ingot tonnage and the weight of finished plates, sheets, bars, pipe, wire, rails and other forms Here is the situa- tion, in brief The national capacity now is approaching 92 million tons a year. At the end of 1941 it was 88 million tons. That is the capacity to make ingots = steel in it's crude form.
 Presently we are turning out seven million tons a month These seven mll- lion tons of ingots make only about i've million tons of shapes. But we need nine million tons of shapes. So, with the worlds greatest steel capacity, we are producing little more than half as much steel as we should have.
 The steel industry privately questions this interpretation. It believes that Ii there would be little or no shortage steel were more efficiently distributed That may be- But if, with the distrlbu- tion we achieve, we lack A per cent ot the steel we need, then there is steel shortage for all practical purposes.

Ralph Adams Cram

Ralph Adams Cram, one of our most distinguished architects, termed himself a Catholic of the Anglican communion" MT. Cram, who passed away this week in Boston leaves lasting impression of his art in the many churches designed by him that are scattered about the coun- try, the greatest of these, the magnifi- cent Cathedral of St. John the Divine i'll New York City. His great talent was most definitely expressed in Gothic archl- lecture. Likewise he left his archltec- tural imprint in many colleges, among these Princeton, also West Point Military Academy.
 MT. Grams ideas of a world as ex- pressed in architecture are well described in his many published books, one of the most important My Life in Architec- ture,' an autobiography. A medieyallst, MT. Cram did not regard this study as something of the past only to be thought of but as an ideal way of life to be lived at any time.
 This was his dream. These same dreams of remaking the world without war and gunpowder and other modern inventions were something not partlcu- larly opposite to the present program ot life as it is belligerently lived. Perhaps MT. Cram appreciated that fact during his latter days. He was man Of pro- found religious faith and leaves many lasting impression in mellowed stone and precious marble.

agreement, or the Rubber Reserve Com pany, government agency?
 Again: The digest recommends carry ing out the current program, based largely upon petroleum, and adding facil- ities to produce 100,00O,0O0 gallons of alcohold from grain. Does that mean that the committee considers grain to be as available source of butadiene as petroleum, or is it a gesture toward the grain raiSers at the expense of the tax payers?
 These are not all the between-the-line questions left by the digest and we hope - answered in the full report not given to the public. They do suggest that the rubber picture is even blacker than the sonber hues in which it was painted in the excellent report.

 The Free French leader not only took Churchill to task for the way the British were conducting the war, but also told Churchill what he thought, in no uncertain terms, of the British ambassador of Syria.
 That Ambassador, General Sir Edward l.. Spears, had refused to call on Gen. Georges CatrOux, the French Governor of Syria.
 General Catroux was governor of French Indo-China when the Japanese threatened invasion and offered to throw his entire Indo- Chinese army against them if given the signal from London or Washington. Later when Vichy surrendered to Hitler, Ca troux resigned. He led the Free French forces into Syria and did most of the fighting.
 However, when General Spears arrived, he called on the Syrian president, on the .Lebanese presi- uCAAGp UuG ABn@AASVCA NOVNAAAVA Catroux for three weeks.
 During the last war, General Spears was head of the British Military mission in Paris, and was so unpopular that the French government refused to accept him as British military attache after to war. He Is married to an American, the former Mary Bor- den of Chicago, who has writ ten many novels. One of them is on French society, which did not endear her to the French people.
 Because of Spears unpopular ity, General de Gaulle demanded that he be removed. But Churchill who is an old friend of Spears, just as vehemently refused. T am his only friend" Churchill once remarked of Spears.)
 The quarrel then went on to the question of Syrian indepen- dence, which de Gaulle has not entirely given to tthe Syrians, and cannot entirely give because of the unpopularity of such a move in France. The British favor gen. eral elections in Syria to decide on independence. But de Gaulle intimated that general elections might come in Syria about as soon WILSON'S OLD BOSS
 Here Is the story behind the story behind the failure of WIPES Conservation Division.
 When Donald Nelson first left -Roebuck to go to Washing ton and try to win the war, Gen. eral Robert E. Wood, chairman of the Board, Leasing Rosenwald, it's vice chairman, together with other America First directors, planned to cut off Nelson's $60.- 900 corporation salary. Nelson needed the monye to meet fi- nancial obligations already in- cured, and would not have been able, at that time. to live on 8 $lO,O0O government salary.
 The day was saved when Sid ney HflIman, then joint director tor of OPM, telephOned Rosen- waId and persuaded him to throw his influence against such move.
 RosenWald was then made chief of WIPES Conservation Division,
