Sandusky Traffic
On Water In Lead

Though Ohio is not seacoa5t
state, it is one of the leaders in
waterbornc exports. The reason
is that Ohio exports quantities o.
coal, most of it to Canada, some
to other countries by way of the
st. Lawrence Toledo is the
greatest coal shipping point in
the world.
These and other statistics are
contained in "Ohio, An Empire
Within An Empire" a book re
Gently released by the Ohio De.

sion.
Ohio's chief ports accounted for
3348 per cent of receipts and
2315 per cent of shipments on
Lake Erie in 1948, according to
records of the Lake Carriers AS
Sociation.
At Marblchcad, the only local
point of shipment of water ex-
ports, l, ,l07,307 tons OF materials,
mostly crushed rock, went out
No tonnage came into that port
during the year of 1948, accord
ing to the records.
Passenger traffic on Lake Erie
though a sideshoW to the shipment
of ore and coal, is still impressive
The Army Engineers report fol-
1948 shows these figures for pass

Steel Scrap Shortage
Still Hampers Output,
Despite AN-0ut Drive
BY the Assoeiated Press

CLEVELAND, Nov. 26.-Despite
the Government-sponsored drive
for scrap. shortages of the mate
rial are posing an increasing
threat to steel production. the
Steel said yesterday.
The magazine in it's weekly
summary of the Woodworking in
dustry reported that bad weather
has handicapped the scrap drive,
slowing collection and shipping
the metal.
A drying up of some of the
normal supply sources also has
partly offset the campaign, Steel
added.
Current scrap inventory at the
mills was described as spotty. with
supplies generally far below the
60-day mark considered safe.
Efforts are being intensified to
maintain the (scrap) drive under
full steam since it is seen as pro-
viding the chief hope for averting
sharp curtailment of production
in the not distant future" Steel
said.
Little hope was held out by the
magazine for balance in steel
supply and demand before the
of next year, at the earli-
est. Defense orders are expected
to take up the slack caused by
civilian setbacks. it was said.

Fractions 10 Point
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Nov. 26. - The
stock market took a new lease on
life today and prices started up
ward after a weak and quiet OPEN
ing.
A recovery movement got under
way about midway through the
morning session and activity grew
brisk as the prices moved ahead.
Most of the advances were frac-
tions but fair number of point
or more gains showed up in the
list.
Activity simmered down a little
after the initial upward move but
the advances held the ground
they'd gained. The gains were well
spread through the list and were
confined to no single group.
Stocks that moved ahead
around point at times made a
substantial and diversified list.
They included Case, U. S. Rub
ber. Zenith Radio, Northern Pa
cif1c, American Can and Cities
Service.
Other advances included U. S.
Steel. Bethlehem. Republic, Chrys-
Ter, Goodrich Rubber. Boeing Air

$4,000 Tons Of Steel
To Be Added 10 School
Allotment in Early 81

The Defense Production Admin
istration will allot an additional
$4,000 tons of steel for school con-
struction in the first three months
of 1852, it was learned today.
This steel would permit the
construction of 1877 additional ele-
mentary or secondary schools.
leaving between 800 and 1000
school building projects delayed
because of inability to get mate
rials.
The 15,00o-ton figure was OBJ
tanned unofficially but was ex-
.pected to be confirmed later in
the day when Manly Fleischmann,
'DPA administrator. testif1es be-
fore the Joint Committee on De-
tense Production.
The original allotment for
schools, colleges and Libraries for
the first 1852 quarter was 96.-
296 tons, although the Commits
sioner of Education's Office put
total requirements at 255, 400 tons.
The allotment for the last three
months of 1852 was 104,614 tons.
Schools officials objected stren-
uously to the original allotment
and asked for a supplementary al
loWance. With the additional 15,-
900 tons it was said at the Office
Iof Education that construction Of
the most urgent school projects
where there is serious overcrowd-
! ing should be able to go ahead.
