Navy Amends Method
For Judging Steel
Will Speed Production
Without Changing Quality

The Navy Department announced
yesterday it had amended it's
specifications for steel plates rolled
in strip mills in order to obtain a
full productive effort and to speed
production of the material needed
for new naval construction.
The amendments, according to
the Navy's announcement, change
the method of judging steel without
appreciably changing the quality.
The most important change is the
establishment of fiat minimum re-
quirement for tensile strength of
$4,000 pounds square inch. That,
it was explained, will permit i'm
mediate decisions to be made on
tests of plates in place of the former
procedure of taking an average
strength of $4,000 pounds with a
minimum of $1,000 pounds on any
individual tests. The new require
ment raises the old minimum and
abandons the old averaging proceed
ure.
"Ihe foregoing test procedures, P"
the department said. "are prescribed
as result of the Navy's desire to
obtain full productive effort from
all suitable sources. They can only
be most fully effective if coupled
with the fullest cooperative effort
of the manufacturers in such mat
ters as scheduling of rollings, ETC."

power predominance and advanced
the 100-octane program to the top
OF the materials priority list. Until
late In the fall, ne said, the program
was given only relatively low pref
erence ratings. The program
suffered while the high command
debated the Importance of air power,

defense plants and the Petrol
cum Administration have not put
the steam behind the high-octane
program that we have applied to
escort vessels" the Navy ofhcial de-
clared. The fact that the gasoline
program, although possessing TOP
prlorities longer than escort YES
sells, Is in worse shape is indication
that something is amiss."
Mr.. Ickes joined Mr.. Patterson in
charging that high-octane produc-
ton was held down by the lack of
plant equipment diverted to the
rubber program.
Declaring that the explosive Pat
Observation-Disclosures feud was moth
ing but a clash of personalities, -
another high Government official
said that decisions made in No.
vember and January to give Mr.
Jetfers a green light" for equip
ment to complete about half of the
total synthetic program had moth
Ing to do with the current high
octane shortage. He pointed out
that a gasoline plant takes nearly a
year to complete and said decisions
bringing about the shortage were
made nine months to a year ago
The official expressed belief that
the controversy, so far as it in
wolves competition for plant equip
ment. can be smoothed satisfactor-
lily. He said production of scarce
machinery components now was suf-
f1ciently large so that deliveries
could be made to high octane and
rubber plants as the buildings were
completed. He said if the personal
feud between Mr.. Patterson and Mr.
Jeffers becomes more violent it may
be necessary for the loser" to leave
the Government.
Nelson's Belief Given.
Mr.. Nelson was described as feel
ing that any shifting of programs
now-diversion of plant machinery
from rubber to high octane-would
