Steel Demand Unaffected

CLEVELAND, Feb. 16.-There has

recent breaks in commodity and

steel today.

"alerted steel buyers to need for
caution in ordering and should
it prove more than a temporary re-
action it likely will be reflected
eventually in lighter demand"
Steel also commented that "un-

labor's reaction will be. It is haz-
ardous to even guess what will
transpire pricewise over coming
months"
The break In commodities and
stocks was reflected by scrap more
clearly than by any other steel
item, said steel, reporting that it
appears to have softened scrap

Yesterday in TelevisiOn

THESE letters that have come
Il down to us from so long ago are
not only keenly interesting, they
are immensely valuable. An honest
informal letter is like an open win
dow. We see into the writer's mind
and life, we see the life of his
times. Any historian feels lucky
when he lights on a packet of old
letters. Here is yesterday in tele-
vision.
The letters Of the New Tesla
ment. especially Paurs, are not
propaganda literature. Paul
was not writing for publication
or for posterity. He would be
bothered by . problem; he
would think and pray about It,
and then he would sit down and
write about Il.
However trivial the problem
might seem. such a. local church
quarrel, Paul never wrote trivially
about Il. He would pour out his
mind on papyrus, usually debating
his letters to q secretary and some
times 90 fast that the secretary OBJ
