Detroit Steel Co.
Profit Expected
To Hit S6OO,OOO

Heading into the fourth quarter
OF its first full year on strictly
war work, Detroit Steel Prod
ucts Co. probably will show sales
of approximately $4,000, 900 for
the year and net profit somewhat
ahead of the $504.672 or $3.50 a
share reported for 1912.
Because OF uncertainties related
20 renegotiation and establish
ment of postwar reserves, il is
difficult TO forecast earnings accu-
rately, but there appears to be
a likelihood OF net profit in the
neighborhood OF 100000 or 1910
share.
Despite the change-over TO 100
per cent war business, the COM
pany's cash and working capital
position is substantially better
than under normal operating con-
ditions. Cash is in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000 against $497 $40
at the end Of 1912 and holdings
Of u. S. treasury notes for taxes
and Tenegotiation amounted 10
81 100000 against S300,350.
There are no bank loans and
working capital is approximately
$500 900 greater than at the start
of the year.

Chief Counsel Declares
Statements on Federal
Ownership Own Views
Earlier Story on Page B-1.,
BY DON S. WARREN.

A declaration that the Treas
ury Department is not threaten
ing Government ownership or
use of war powers as means
of reducing rates of the Potomac
Electric Power Co. was placed
before the Public Utilities Com
mission this afternoon to clear
up what were presumed to be
misunderstanding.
The statement came from Thur
man Hill, chief counsel OF the Pro-
curement Division of the Treasury,
who explained that declarations he
had made February Is at a PUG
conference were his own views and
not those of the Treasury.
At the February Is conference
Mr. Hill authorized the PUG to
issue to the press a statement he
had made, which wound up con-
ference dealing with efforts the
Treasury had made to sign new
agreement with the power company
for reduced rates to the Govern
ment The statement was to the
effect that Treasury Procurement
representatives would intervene in
the power rate hearings.
Mr.. Hills statement then added
This does not mean that we do
not feel that we have other
remedies, since we have a specific
contract. We feel that other
remedies such as an agreement on
a special rate. public ownership, or
perhaps other methods provided by
Congress under the War Powers
Act might be exercised by Treasury
Procurement"
And he went on to say: But we
have decided after considerable de-
liberation, that we will appear be-
fore the commission, state our posi-
ton. and l might say we propose
to ask the commission to re-eXamine
vely carefully the sliding scale with
view of complete abrogation and
the establishment of a new rate
base

not to ask for relief on the grounds
of discrimination as it affects the
Government particularly. but we are
going to appear as party substan-
