By the Assoeiofed Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. 10.-Full
effects Of the steel strike will be
felt over the nation in two or
three weeks, the magazine Steel
predicted today.
The magazine estimated con-
sumer inventories as large enough
to last 80 days at the strikes start
but said they were inadequate to
support economical fabricating
that long. Stocks will become un-
balanced before 80 days, the mag
azine explained.
Iron and steel operations have
not been completely choked of
by the work stoppage. Steel
said the ingot rate had nose
dived. however, to rs per cent OF
capacity. The industry was pro-
ducing at IS per cent of capacity
just before the strike.
The trickle of production Is
from a Surprisingly large number
Of steelworkers" which have con-
tracts with independent unions OF
have met union demands.
Steel's weighted index on I'm.
ished steel prices holds unchanged
at 1892. The arithmetical price
composite for finished steel was
unchanged at $9l.55.

Mostly Lower, but
Some Specia|ties Gain
By Roder Wineet
Associated Press Market Writer

NEW YORK. Oct. 10.-The
major part of the stock market
was lower today, but there were
scattered islands Of strength.
Steels and motors were down
while rails were mixed. Steels
reacted as a measure Of caution
on the part of traders in the
midst of the current strike. There
were reports of profit-taking in
motors.
Moving ahead were several low
priced specialties as well as some
of the recognized market leaders.
in each case a reflection of in
dividual corporate developments.
Callahan Zinc-Lead, which was
active and higher Saturday, and
Eversharp. both moved into new
high ground for the year on
early aggressive buying. American
Woolen and International Paper
were around a point higher at
times.
Most of the losses were in
fractions with one or two issues
losing as much as a point at one
time or another.
Gold shares moved counter to
the general trend with modest
gains. There was, however, no
concentrated buying In this group.

GET5A(TI0N
FROM GOVT.

WASHINGTON, May l6.-lR-
The Federal government stepped
into the Ford strike today in an eff
fort to get a settlement.
Walter Reuther, President of the
Clio Auto Workers, visited Fed
eral Mediation Director Cyrus S.
Ching and talked with him about
the strike.
Coming out of Ching's office,
Reuther told a reporter, in reply
o question, that Ching's agency
cancellation service plans to have
man there today'-meaning at
The strike negotiations in Detroit.
The union had asked the media
ton service to intervene in the
,trike.
The Ford Motor Company, with
100000 men idle, had declared in
Detroit earlier that it would give
all possible assistance" to any Fed
sral peace effort.
President Henry Ford II asked,
however, that Ching weigh care
ully" certain factors other than the
strike itself before stepping into the
dispute. One of these is the COM
pany's contention that factionalism
and politics in the union led to the

1t was the first destructive tor

Although many sections of Anna

In BATTLE

LOS ANGELES, May 16-tR-The
Battle of the Drugstores" still
RACES today and about the only
strategy left for the price cutting
foes is to start paying people to
come in the store.
The neighborhood corner of Sc
pulveda and La Tijera boulevards
in this city's Westchester section
looked more like Chicagos Loop or
New York's Times Square over the
weekend.
There was no official estimates
OF crowds but spokesman for one
of the battling drugstores estimated
100000 people visited the two
stores over the weekend
The war has been on for two
weeks ever since Whelan's, a ma
tional chain, opened store across
the street from Thrifty, Califor-
ala chain which had its store
established in the block for several
years
At one tine, prices were cut so
low that a penny would buy a
hearty bacon and egg breakfast, a
quart of oil, 100 aspirin tablets, or
pie ala mode at either store.
Saturday night, both stores
9tarted giving away merchandise
packs of chewing gum, sample sizes
OF hair oil, deodorants, vanishing
cream, magazines and other ar
ticles.
There is no peace in sight.
Whelan's and Thrifty's both chant
I'VE will not be undersold." On
the sidelines cheering them on
Justify is the buying public.
