NEW YORK, July 6.-Who
have been the best pitchers in
baseball-for an entire career or
for one big season?
Ted Oliver, a member Of the
Helms Foundation, some time ago
brought out a small volume known
as Kings of the Mound" Part
of the rating was based upon the
teams a pitcher worked for-and
the teams a pitcher faced. 1t was
entirely a matter of the printed
record.
For example, under the Oliver
system, Ned Carver, working fol
the Browns, would have drawn
the top ranking of the year
against many better records. Why
not? It's much tougher to win one
game with the Browns than three
games for the Dodgers. Red Soz
or Yankees.
The interesting point came from
the conclusions Oliver reached
He measured each pitcher by
points. Here were the final re-
suits for q career:

ANOTHER STEEL
MILL WILL RISE
ON EAST COAST

Paulsboro, NJ (LPA)-Another
giant steel company has announced
plans to build a plant on the East
ern seaboard to meet freight cost
competition and to use foreign iron
ores.
National Steel Corp, fifth larg-
est US producer, will erect a mill
on 2600-acre site here which
stretches two miles along the Del
aware River. 1t is 10 miles below
the Philadelphia bridge
and about 35 miles downriver from
Morrisville, Pa, where US Steel
has already started building
S400, 100000 plant with an annual
capacity of 100000 ingot tons.
While details from National are
sketchy, it is believed the plant
will turn out about 100000 tons
Of raw steel a year. 1t will have
deepwater docks which will allow
ocean-going boats to bring ore
from the newly-developed Labra-
dor-Quebec ore fields. US Steel
will also be able to bring ore boats
direct from its field in Venezuela.
The only other steel plant now
on the East Coast is Bethlehem
Stee's plant at Sparrows Point,
Md, near Baltimore. Bethlehem
has enjoyed a competitive advant-
age in the East for many years
because of the basing- point system
which makes consumers bear the
entire cost of shipping steel.
While manufacturers have been
willing to buy at any price during
the war and postwar years, both
US Steel and National will be able
to compete with Bethlehem when
things slow down. Another factor
in building the mills on ports open
to the ocean is that grade iron
ore fields in the interior of the
United States are running low.
One more benefit the companies
gain by building at this time is
that the government issues "certi-
ficates Of necessity" which allow
the companies to recapture much
of the investment in tax write-offs
over a five-year period.

RAIL UNIONS REJECT CONTRACT
PROPOSALS; NEGOTIATE AGAIN

three-year agreement reached be.
tween four major railroad operat-
ing unions and management just
before Christmas is apparently
scheduled to be nothing more thar
whistle stop.
Meeting here Jan. 5, the $50 gen
eral chairmen Of the Brotherhood
Of Railroad Trainmen and the Bro
therhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen voted to reject pro
posals reached at a White House
conference Dec. Il to end the 22-
month dispute between the unions

tors which has 10000 members, was
expected to vote down the proposals

Der Brotherhood of Locomotive

structed its negotiators to renew
their efforts. The BRIT has 225,-
0C0 members and the Firemen e.
Enginemen, 10000.
Biggest road block to the accept
ance Of the contract was the nam
ing of DR.. John r. Steelman, as
sistant to the President, as arbi-
traitor if the unions and rail com
panies are unable to agree. While
not spelling out their grievance
against DR.. Steelman, the cffairmen
privately agreed "that the matter
should be taken out of the White
House." Most Of them were out
spoken against the handling Of the
dispute by DR.. Steelman, blaming
the length of the discussions on
him, and felt that the arbitration
clause would make "czar" of a
man not overly friendly to rail
labor.
Strongest support for acceptance
came from a minority which was
willing to okay a 23-cent raise for
10000 yardmen, retroactive to
Oct. l, 1850. Another two cents
was to be paid Jan. /, 1851.
