Materials Control Due
In Steel Industry in
Spring, Iron Age Says
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-A con-
trolled materials plan for the steel
industry by March or April and
mandatory price controls to re-
place voluntary ones were pre-
dicted today by the Iron Age
metal working trade weekly.
Steel executives feel that il
steel distribution is to be con-
trolled at all it must be con-
trolled completely the weekly
said. voluntary price controls
are doomed to failure even before
they begin. Mandatory price con-
trolls are sure to be installed as
soon as the Economic Stabiliza-
tion Agency can collect a big
enough staff to enforce them"
Speedup in the defense program
and placing of several large steel
orders. the paper said. led steel
executives to feel that the con-
Iolled materials plan will be
shaped up in the next few months.
Most manufacturers using steel
will comply with the Government
request to hold the price line. the
Iron Age said. But many firms
are hardship cases. The paper
said contracts based on cost plus,
escalator clauses and average
prices will probably have to be
reviewed individually.
Steel quotas of regular GUS
toners are being slashed more
than so per cent on some prod
ucts, the weekly said. One steel
company estimated that 25 to 80
per cent of its total tonnage was
going into defense orders and
ALLEGATION programs.
