0Ids Denies Plates
Sold by U. 5. Steel
Endangered Lives
Says Products Were Safe;
81 Dividend Declared
At Quarterly Meeting

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 28-Irving S.
Olds, chairman of the United States
Steel Corp, yesterday termed as
absolutely without foundation"
charges that his company sold I'M
safe steel plates for ships, and
added:
IF there was any crime it was
that the public was led to believe
that the lives of fighting men were
being endangered by defective steel"
At press conference after the
quarterly meeting of Big Steel d.
rectors, Mr.. Odds reviewed the case
of the steel plates from the corpora
tons Irving works at Pittsburgh,
on which, according to the charge
of some employees. tests had been
faxed. This led to an inquiry by
the Truman War Investigating
Committee.
Mr.. Olds said the plates in ques-
ton were safe and suitable for their
purpose and were defective only in
the sense that tests showed them to
be to per cent under the Nays
standard of $4,000 pounds of tensile
strength per square inch. Recently,
Mr.. Olds added, the Navy itself re-
duced this requirement to $1,000
pounds.
Denies Danger to Lives.
Referring to testimony given re-
Gently before the Truman Commit
tee and to the committees tempo
rary report, Mr.. Olds said:
l don't condone the Justification
of the tests, but it was wholly I'M
justified to give the impression that
the steel plates put any lives in
jeopardy"
He explained that so-called
taking of the tests resulted from
loss of work markings-heat and
chemistry thunderstorm the steel
slabs as the plates were made, and
that the quantity Of plates involved
had been relatively small.
He declared, as Benjamin F. Fair
less, the corporations president had
done previously in Washington tes-
timony, that those in the higher
places Of management in the corpo
ration and the Irwin works had not
been aware of the irregularity.
Says Morale Was Hurt.
Mr.. Olds also declared that the
disclosures had damaged morale at
the Irwin works and other plants of
the corporation which turned out
plates. He said there had been
sharp decline in production and
shipments of plates. although some
recovery had been made in the last
week or so.
Regarding the threatened strike
in the soft coal fields, Mr.. Olds said
a tie-up would severely handicap his
company, the largest steel producer
in the world and now working al
most exclusively on war business.
Il should say tie-up would cause

Nuzi Ruse to Hinder Amazon
Rubber Program Is Charged
Workers Reported Told
They Will Be Shipped
To North Africu
BY LEON PEARSON.


Germany is trying to hinder the
rubber program in the Amazon area
by spreading the story that rubber
workers. now being recruited under
joint United States-Brazilian
agreement. are actually to be shipped
overseas as labor battalion for
North Africa
This report was brought to Wash
ington by John c. McClintock. as
sistant co-ordinator of inter-Amer-
lean affairs, who has just returned
from a flve-week tour of the Anna
ION. Travelling by air and covering
$4,000 miles Of jungle, Mr.. McClin-
took made an inspection of the
health and food programs of the
co-ordinator's Office
The project for recruiting rubber
tappers has struck various obstacles,
including the German propaganda,
Mr.. McClintock said. The workers
are being brought from the Brazilian
state of Ceara. where long drought
has reduced them almost to star
walton. When they arrive at Belem,
at the mouth of the Amazon, they
must be nursed and fed to state of
health before being shipped to the
rubber areas upstream
$1,000 Workers Promised.
The Brazilian economic car, AL
berto Lins de Barros, has contracted
with this Government to deliver
$4,000 workers to Belem, at the cost
of 500 each, but that objective is
far distant. Only a few hundred
men have actually been moved, Mr..
McClintock said.
Pressed for an estimate OF the
amount of rubber which may be de-
livered to the United States from
the Amazon area this year, Mr.. Nc
Clintock said only that he thought
previous estimates, which have
ranged from 10000 to $4,000 tons,
were AL too high" But he quoted

of voluntary high school honor stu
dents has begun in 126 local boards

Mr.. Noelke, who developed the

fused to ask Congress for more OPP
Grating funds, said it had been ap-
proved by the Illinois Department of
Education.

junior and senior years to devote
one of every 10 school days to clerical
work at local boards.
I'VE have made arrangements" he
added, ''for students to get full credit

Students are rated for efficiency, and
those who are good workers are
given preference for civil service
jobs"
Mr.. Noelke said about $500 stu
dents are participating in the pro-
gram. It Is not in use in Chicago.
