Pittsburgh Operations

To 8.59d Of Capacity
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, May 27.-A spokes-
man for the United States Steel
Corp. said today operations in
Pittsburgh had dropped to 8.5 per
cent of steel ingot rated capacity as
result of the resumption of the
soft coal strike.
This would constitute an all-time
low in the history of u. S. Steel
except when the industry itself was
on strike. The previous low, he said
was at 1S per cent of capacity dur
ing the depression in the early 80s
Rates for the other two main oper.
ating districts of big steel were
listed as 462 per cent of capacity in
Chicago and 80 per cent in Birm-
ingham
Can Hold Rate Three Weeks.
The spokesman said current oper-
atlons in the three districts could
be maintained at today's rate for
from two to three weeks at Pitts
burgh, three weeks at Chicago and
three weeks at Birmingham.
After that, he added, there would
be only enough coal on hand to
keep steel blast furnaces warm
without producing any steel.
U. S. Steel has Is of its mines in
the Pennsylvania soft coal fields
idle. Normally around 1000 men
are employed in them.

many until the Potsdam protocol to
administer the country as an eco

the occupying powers, it was dis
closed last night by 1t. Gen. Lucius

governor
The Americans have stopped de-
liveries, said Gen. Clay, ito safe
guard the economy of our zone
since it now seems highly possible
the Potsdam agreement will never
go into effect. In such an event.
Germany would probably remain di-
vlded into two parts, a Russian
occupied eastern half and a western
half occupied by the United States.

IF Germany is (thusD to be di-
vlded permanently" said Brig. Gen.

Tear for food and other costs in
volved in the occupation.
Gen. Clay said the delivery of be-
tween Is and 20 plants allocated last
December will be completed. He
added that this would leave $50
plants already reported as availa BILE
for reparations which would not be
dismantled or Grated until something
was done to implement the Potsdam
