Republic Steel Signs
Contract With Kaiser
On Disputed Furnace
BY the Assoeiotsd Pres.

CLEVELAND, Aug 2s.-The Re-
public Steel Corp. announced last
night 1t had signed a contract with
the Kaiser-Frazer Corp. providing
for operation of the Government
owned blast. furnace at Republics
Cleveland plant until May /, l949.
The blast furnace, center of a
stormy dispute ever since the War
Assets Administration announced
lease of the unit to KAISER Frazer,
Will continue to supply about 400
Republic customers with pig iron.
Charles M. White, president of Re-
public Steel, satd.
Mr.. White said "the terms of the
contract are the same as those which
Republic offered the War Assets
Administration nearly a year ago
and which the company has re-
peatedly stated are satisfactory to it..
5000 Tons Monthly for Kaiser.
THE terms provide that Republic
will continue to receive all pig iron
produced in the blast furnace ex-
cept 5000 tons per month for which
halser-Frazer will pay Republic the
full market price" Mr. White added.
No other products have been al
located to Kaiser Frazer by Re-
public"
The Republic president said the
agreement further provides that
Republic retains all rights it has or
may have in the future to continue
its fight for permanent possession
OF the blast furnace and coke oven
plant"
Mr.. White said the contract was
a temporary victory for Republic
in its battle to take care of the
hundreds Of foundries and other
manufacturers who have depended
on Republic for their supply of pig
non.
Larson Confers With Factions.
Republic is convinced" Mr..
White declared, that the proposal
made by 1t to the War Assets Ad-
ministration for the long term lease
OF this blast furnace plant is the
most advantageous one which the
Government has received and that
continued study, with the pressure
of the last few days removed, Will
demonstrate that fact"
