Steel Buyers Wait
For CIarification Of
WAR Situation
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 24.-Hesitancy
in steel buying during the last week
does not mean basic slowing up
in order volume, the Iron Age said
today, but rather an indication of
the reluctance on the part of steel
buyers to make further commit
ments until the military situation
is clarified.
Order volume on the whole was
still close to actual shipments in
the last week, the trade magazine
said, and any decline in the total
backlogs was said to be of little
consequence.
Some steel centers were still COM
planning that carryovers will repre-
sent one of their major troubles
in months to come" the Iron Age
said. This is particularly true, it
was said, on plates, shapes and semi
finished steel. The strong tempo
engendered by the approaching shell
program in the third quarter, the
tightness in the tinplate market
and the heavy overall demand for
semifinished steel, both for lend
lease and forgers, is also being ac-
celerated by outlaw strikes, equip
ment breakdowns and high turn
over.
Chicago and Philadelphia steel
producers are no little concerned
over the relationship between actual
delivery dates apd commandments
made when orders are received. In
creasing directives are said to be
coming from all quarters, princi-
pally on fiat rolled material, thus
further substantiating the steel
trades opinion that the third quar-
ter will find the steel industry taxed
to its capacity. -
while the steel industry and
other metal industries were being
faced with manpower shortage, hot
weather, breakdowns, and fatigued
workers, there were signs this week
that they would be further ham
pered by an increase in outlaw
strikes. The number of strikes which
are coming to public attention are
probably no more than a portion of
the whole since many last only
day or two and are over before they
are reported. ;"
"Ingot production this week fell
half a point to 97.5 per cent of ca
pacity at Pittsburgh and Chicago
operations declined one point to 95
and 101.5 per cent respectively"

Clothes May Be Rationed
After War, Report SAYS

Postwar rationing of clothing may
be necessary, according to a report
of the National Planning Associa-
ton made public today.
The NPA is a privately financed
agency established in 1884, of which
William L. Bait of the War Pro-
duction Board is chairman. The
report was prepared under the
supervision of Clarence E. Pickett,
executive secretary of the American
Friends Service Committee, which
has been conducting relief work in
Europe.
he report emphasized that if
proper steps are not taken and "an
equitable shortage of low priced
goods develops, it may be necessary
to ration certain types of clothing,
not primarily because of European
requirements, but to prevent short
ages among our own consumers"
'The first step must be the in
creased production of low-cost
fabrics at the expense of higher
grade CLOTH" the report said. The
shortage of shoes in Europe, he
added, is even more marked than
that of textiles.

Stock Prices Climb
To Highest Levels
Since March
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
AsSocir ted Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Stocks ad-
vanced today to the highest average
levels since late March and lead
ers generally held gains ranging
from fractions to a point or more
despite active profit selling in the
late proceedings.
Rails moved ahead briskly in the
first hour and thereafter buying
activities spread to steels, rubbers
motors and numerous industrial spe-
cialties and blue chips which lately
had been neglected. Dealings, about
the largest for a month, totaled
approximately 100000 shares.
The recently buoyant liquors suf-
fered setback following new
advance in the early dealings.
Extension of the May advance
under broadened buying was taken
as an indication of a freer inflow of
investment funds minus the recent
invasion apprehensions.
Final-hour prices in some in
stances were bit under the days
highs.
