Steel Official Tells
Senator's Gray Market
Is Just Empty Talk
By The A.socioted Pres,

Joseph L. Block of the Inland
Steel Co. in Chicago said today
that reports of large sales of steel
In a so-called gray market are
"empty talk"
Mr.. Block, Inland's executive vice
president In charge of sales, told a.
Senate Small Business Subcommit-
tee, however, that much to my
surprise" several carloads of Inland
steel were sold several months ago
on the domestic market "at prices
as much as three times their mill
value"
He testified:
- "Yeu are hearing a great deal
about the so-called black gray
or daisy y-chain' market. We, too,
have heard much on this subject
for q number of months, particularly
from our customers and would
be customers.
Some Steel Shows Up.
Many efforts have been made to
locate the fantastic tonnages Of
fered, but 1t has long been apparent
that most of this Is just empty talk
engaged In by spectators and char
latans.
However, some steel actually
shows up now and then"
Mr.. Block said the steel which
sold at treble value was rolled under
a conversion arrangement with the
David l.. Wilkoff Co, Pittsburgh ex-
porters, which supplied ingots. He
said Inland understood that the
steel was to be exported.
The committee has heard previous
testimony that at least two car
loads of the steel were sold at s240
ton, compared to a normal mill
price Of about $50.
Mr.. Wilkof testified that he sold
LOO tons of the steel rolled for him
by Inland because the company was
unable to pack them in such way
as would make them acceptable
for export"
The said the company was "just
too busy" to wrap the steel properly
and to package it in weights suitable
for shipping, He testified only "a
comparatively negligible tonnage
was sold to domestic users.
Arrangement Described.
Mr.. Wilkof said the conversion
arrangement he has with Inland and
one other unnamed mill is actually
q benefit to domestic users because
1t results In production of steel
which otherwise would not be pro-
duced.
He said his firm supplies ingots
to the mills and In return shares
from one-fourth to one-haf of the
sheets produced, and that these are
then sold by the mill at prevailing
prices.
Tn effect, we not only produced
additional sheet for domestic con-
sumption. but We assumed the equiv
alent of subsidy by marketing our
share Of the yield in foreign trade
at world market prices" Mr. Wilkoff
said.
He told the committee the present
world price is about 1920 a ton at
New York.
Steel handled by both firms was
linked to high price deals by testi-
mony of earlier witnesses.
II. j. Kutz of the St. Louis Boiler
and Equipment Co testified several
weeks ago that he purchased seven
carloads of steel from Mr.. Wilkoff
for a customer in New York.
The customer rejected it as un-
suitable, Mr.. Kutz said, and he then
advertised it for sale. ~sts

SiaIemaie Indicated
In Lewis Talks With
Souihern Operators
By Jones Y. Newton

Contract negotiations between
John L. Lewis United Mine Work
ers and Southern soft coal producers
appeared near collapse today after
representatives of the union and OPP
orators had met for more than two
hours.
Union representatives were silent
on leaving the meeting, but the OPP
orators announced they would tell
their side of the story at a news
conference at 4:30 pm.
Laurence Terney, West Virginia
operator, who is serving as chair
man of the Southern Contract Con-
ference, told reporters after the
meeting merely that proposals of the
mine workers and operators were
discussed. He said another meeting
of negotistors would be held at 10
IN. tomorrow.
Stalemate Indicated.
When newsmen asked the opera
tors whether the wage talks had
broken down, the producers said
that would be revealed at the news
conference later in the day.
However, it appeared the nego-
tiations had reached a. stalemate
similar to the breakup of the con-
ference between Mr.. Lewis and
Northern and Western operators
last Saturday.
The Northern and Western opera
tors broke off contract talks because
of the union demand for an increase
of IS cents an hour in wages. Any
real hope for coal industry peace
had rested with these negotiations.
Third Coal Conference. y
The meeting today was the third
between the miners and representa-
tives of the Southern Coal Pro-
ducers' Association. The talks were
arranged after the Southerners re-
fused to negotiate on an industry
wide basis.
Mr.. Lewis sent his 200-man Policy
Committee home last night. The
group had been here about two weeks
and had met several times during
the wage talks. The committee usu-
ally is called upon to act on any
major policy or wage proposals.

|U.n. Ponders Warning.
BY yLiIienthaI That u. s.
Will Keep Atom Lead
BY ths Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, June 5.
United Nations struggled
to reconcile American and Rus
sian differences ON atomic con-
troll today in the face of a warn
ing that the United States in
tends to maintain and increase
its supreme position in the field
of atomic energy and atomic
weapons.
David E. Lilienthal, chairman of
the American Atomic Energy Com
mission, told the United Nations
yesterday this would remain the
purpose of his country until inter-
national machinery for control was
established by the world agency.
With this warning before them,
delegates of the U. N. Atomic En-
ergy Commission met to continue
their efforts at bringing Russia and
the United States into agreement
on whether or not the veto can be
used in the Security Council if a
country commits an atomic crime.
Importance of Program Stressed.
The United States is insisting
that the veto must not be used to
prevent violator of atomic con-
trolls from escaping punishment.
Russia wants any international
atomic control agency to come under
the jurisdiction of the Security
Council where the five major pow
ers have the privilege of veto vote.
MIR. Lilienthal told the commission
delegates that their task of chart
ing program for international
control was of supreme Importance
to the peace of the world"
You can have no security-but
only fraud-without international
cooperation" he declared during a
closed session of the commission at
which he had been invited to speak.
Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet deputy
foreign minister, was absent from
the session.
The purpose and firm intention
Of the United States Atomic En-
ergy Commission" Mr.. Lilienthal
said, ''is to develop atomic energy
and atomic weapons in the United
States in such way as to maintain
and increase the pre- e-eminence of
the United States in the field of
atomic energy and atomic weapons.
Mr.. Lilienthal explained that the
purpose of the American group and
any international atomic authority
were quite different.
He defined the aim of any world
wide organization as elimination
of national rivalries and dangerous
aspects" in the development OF
atomic energy.
The American people recognize
the high Importance of having not
simply an international agreement,
MIR. Lilienthal said. but an inter-
national agreement that has some
effectiveness and puts an end to ma
tional rivalries in the field"
He told the commission 1t was
Struggling with the most difficult
problem human intelligence ever
sought to find an answer for"
During period of questioning fol-
lowing his statement to the dele
gates, Mr.. Lilienthal was asked how
the veto power over management
decisions would effect an interna-
tional setup.
Such a rule, he declared, would
be quite impossible in managerial
decisions.
