Steel Dispute Causes
Varying Upsets for
Business, Industry
BY Richord Fiske
Assoeiufed Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, May 3.-A steel
strike that ended as abruptly as
it began gave business and indus
try a rough time this week..
It didn't last long enough to
have any widespread serious ef-
feet, but it bit deeply into produc-
ton of the strategic metal. 1t had
many a consumer cycling his sup
ply. And some steel-carrying rail-
roads planned to lay off thousands
of workers.
The oil industry also had strike
on its hands and the Western
Union walkout, which began April
3, continued.
The oil strike threatened to cut
of an estimated so per cent of
the Nations refinery capacity.
Government officials figured the
Nation had about a 45-day supply
of gasoline.
Dun and Bradstreet reported
shopping slipped a little during
the week and attributed the slight
decline to poor weather and labor
unrest in many sections.
Extended shopping hours and
reduced-price promotions were
utilized by many retail merchants
to attract customers. But conSum-
ers continued cautious and bar
gain-conscious.
First quarter earnings rolled in
profusely during the week and
most of them showed declines
1ndustry-wise from a year ago.
Among industry groups textiles
had the largest decline compared
with the first quarter a year ago.
The best advances were made by
the oil and coal groups.

Two Treasury Moves
Feature Bond Market
Activities for Week
By Arthur Merims
Associoted Press Finoneiol Writer

NEW YORK, May 3.-Frac-
tional gains in sizable group of
rails and utilities kept the bond
market on a steady footing today.
Trade was quiet and buyers and
sellers were so close in many in
stances that the list had a large
quota of issues at unchanged
levels at the finish.
Sales Of $4,000 compared
with $1,240,000 last Saturday.
There was no activity in the
Government list after a week of
extremely interesting develop
ments in that group.
Earlier this week, the Treasury
Department made two dramatic
moves to meet expected deficits
in the fiscal year of 1853 which
sent some Government security
prices upward. Corporate bond
prices nosed downward, generally,
though trading slackened as the
week ended and firming tenden-
cieS appeared.
It announced higher interest
rates on several savings bonds and
the creation of a new 10-year
issue. It also said the four long
est ineligible Treasury bonds
could be exchanged at par for the
new higher interest bonds as long
as one-quarter of the principal
was paid in cash. The exchange"
bonds responded to the announce
ment with sharp gains.
The Victory 21as of 1967-72
ended the weeks trading at
98-22/32 bid, a gain of 1882 of
a point from the previous week.
The longest maturing bank-eligi-
BILE was unchanged at 99-10/32
bid. But the 21as of 1861 and
1965-7O were up 1892 at 98-24/32
bid and SO 26/32 bid, respectively.
The June 21as of 1962-67,
which become eligible for pur-
chase by commercial banks on
Monday, rose 22/32 in the week
to 100-26/32 bid.
Foreign liens were quiet this
week.
Corporate bonds were most sus-
ceptible to the fluctuating stock
market, which in turn, reflected a
confused steel-wage crisis.

ment was organized, the idea that
Israel was a going concern, offer
ing solid business opportunities
(as distinct from the concept OF
Palestine as an object for philan-
thropy) was entirely alien to the
American public. Conversely, Is
rael at that time had not yet set
up the necessary machinery to
handle potential investors and to
service their varied interests ex-
peditiously.
In the intervening years, spe-
cial efforts were undertaken-by
the Israel government and the
Agency, to create favorable ''in-

the Law for the Encouragement
of Capital Investments and
founded the Investment Center
to facilitate the administrative
routine with which the establish

connected. In the United States

has steadily expanded its serv-

2. Assistance to prospective
