No Shortage Of Steel
Exists, Industry Men
Tell Senate Committee

A steel company official told a
Senate subcommittee today there
is no overall shortage of steel and
that he feared that next year his
company will be looking for Gus
toners to buy it.
This was met by reply from
Manly Fleishmann, Defense Pro-
duction administrator, that the
enormous mobilization effort has
created a real shortage.
j. v. Honeycutt, assistant vice
president in charge of sales for
the Bethlehem Steel Corp, told
a Senate Small Business Commit
tee the point has been reached
where there is no need for re-
strictions on the use of steel for
civilian production.
He said the steel supply situa-
ton gives no reason for cutting
back automobile production,
which has been reduced by so per
cent. He conceded that shortages
Of other materials, copper for in
stance, might make a cutback
necessary.
Another witness was David F.
Austin. vice president in charge
Of sales for the United States
Steel Corp. His position was sub
stantially the same as that Of
Mr.. Honeycutt.
Mr.. FleiSchmann testified that
tremendous increases in steel are
necessary for both the military
and military supporting programs.
He listed the expansion of pro-
duction resources for steel, copper,
chemicals and electric power, a
program alloting almost 500 per
cent increase in the amount of
steel for machine tools. programs
for freight cars and ore-carrying
boats, large atomic energy plant.
and expansion of the petroleum
industry as all demanding large
quantities Of additional steel.
Il know of no way in which
these essential program decisions
could be made intelligently by in
dividual steel producers who can
not possibly have access to the
broad picture of the total demand
for steel or the specific needs for
military and defense-supporting
programs" he said.
Mr.. Honeycutt testified that the
total stated requirements for steel
in the first quarter of 1852 were
highly inflated and do not form

Strong Candidate.
Mr.. Kennedy said President
Truman would be. in his opinion
the strongest candidate for the
Democratic nomination unless
Gen. Eisenhower ran as a Demo-
Icrat.
The young Congressman, son OF
former Ambassador Joseph p
Kennedy, said on a television show
that he thought it unlikely Gen
Eisenhower would run as a Demo-
|crat.
He also said he believed that
while the general is strong fig
ure in politics now, things would
be different if he entered the race
and had to take stands on various
domestic issues.

Medical Researchers
Leaving Waller Reed
For Korea This Week

A 13-member research team is
leaving the Walter Reed Medical
Center for Korea this week to
study shock and other combat
medical problems.
The observations reported by
the team will be the elimination
Of project started by the Army
last June. At that time, pre-
Iliminary survey team was sent to
the Korean battlefront to work
out the exact phases of the study
which could be carried on there.
On the basis of preliminary
reports. initial laboratory studies,
testing techniques and developing
methods have been established at
the medical center. Basic animal
studies as well as clinical observa-
Ition of hospital patients will con-
tinue while the team is in Korea.
Col. William S. Stone, COM
mandant of the center's Army
Medical Service Graduate School,
said that basic investigation of
shock and related problems must
be made in order to develop better
ways of handling casualties under
combat conditions.
"The problems are difficult to
study In well-organized hospitals
and still more difficult to study
satisfactorily under the limita-
tions of mobile surgical hospital
and clearing station in the COM
bat zone," he said. "Yet it is only
in these situations that they can
be studied at all in man"
Two surgeons, biochemist. a
physiologiSt. an internist, a bacte-
riologist and seven enlisted tech
nicians comprise the team.

By Michigan Faculty
On Sports Eligibility

ANN ARBOR. Mich, Oct. s.
The University of Michigan's
literary college faculty today pro-
tested what it claims is a double

students participating in other
extra -curricular activities.
Dean Burton D. Thuma of the
literary college, revealed that
about 100 members of his faculty
protested to the faculty senate
earlier this week.
The protest, he said, grew out
of an eligibility grant to football
player Ted Topor.
Topor, a Junior from East Chi
cago, H., was ruled eligible by
the board in control of intercol-
legiate athletics a week ago Mon
day and played against Michigan
State on Saturday. He had re-
ceived an "E" in an anatomy
course during the spring semester

Ira Smith, registrar and head
of the committee in control OF
athletics. explained that Topor
funked the anatomy course last
spring, then went to summer
school and took another course
because the original one was not
offered. He received a "D"-a
passing grade-in the seconc
course.
Mr.. Smith admitted the case
was questionable" but insisted
that Topor's value to the team
had nothing to do with the deci-
sion.
