Claim Supplies Diverted
to Private Customers
Justice Department TO Act Against
Cornesie- Illinois end Jones, Loushlin

in diversion by the two firms TO
their private customers of large
quantities of critically needed
iron and steel at the expense of
the needs of the armed forces
and the maritime commission"
WPB Chared.
REFUSES TO COMPLY
The complaint against Jones
and Laughlin said the company
continually refused TO comply
with OPM and WPB orders, lin
its own and its favored custom
ers' interests, without regard for
military necessity or essential CT
william requirements"
The company's president, II.
E. Lewis, said at Pittsburgh he
was surprised at the board
statement. Most of the firm S
shipments in March and April,
he said, represented "the re-
quirements of the army, navy,
maritime commission and lease
lend customers"
Nothing is being left undOne
by our employees and manage
ment," he added, Ito do our ut
most in the present crisis and
we are and have been breaking
records repeatedly in our about
war effort"
Carnegie-Illinois, largest steel
producer in the United States,
was accused of pOstponing pro
duction on deliveries ordered by
OPM and WPB in favor of CT
william customers not entitled to
preferential treatment. In addl-
ton, WPB said the company es-
tablished production and deliV-
cry schedules which gave first
preference to certain chosen
customers, without regard for
the government priority ratings
assigned to orders for military
and essential civilian needs
Unless Carnegie-lllinois VIC
lations are stopped, WPB de-
clared, IT'S competitors will feel
themselves compelled by econ
omic necessity also to refuse to
comply with WPB regulations,
and as a result, the declar-
ed policy of Congress would be
defeated"

WASHINGTON, April 90 49,
(P)-TWo Of the nations largest
steel companies today faced
court action on War Production
board charges that they diverted
supplies of steel plate to private
customers at a time when ii was
needed in the war shipbuilding
program.
In asking the Justice Depart
ment to seek injunctions against
the Carnegie-Illinois and the
Jones and Laughlin steel corpor-
atoms, the War Production
Board accused them of repeat
ed, deliberate violations" of pri-
critics regulations from May 81,
l94l until the present.
CAMPAIGN LAGS
At press conference last
March 6, il was recalled, Will
liam II. Harrison, WPB produc-
ton director, disclosed that
President Roosevelt's blueprint
for victory" shipbuilding pro-
gram was about 10 vessels be-
hind in February because of the
steel that wasn't available in
September, October and Novem-
Der.
Officials said the most serious
violations charged to the two
companies occurred during the
latter part of 194l. In bills of
complaint turned over to the
Justice Department, WPB accuS-
ed them of unauthorized deliv-
cries of steel plate, which is sub
ject to stringent priority control
and earmarked exclusively for
military use.
