Steel Industry Asks
Broader DecontroI

Steel industry representatives
have made a report to the Ma
tional Production Authority,
urging a broader decontrol OF
the metal than the Government
has announced.
The Office of Defense Mobili-
cation said last week that, after
steel mills have filled NPA allot-
mentS to steel consumers for
both defense and civilian pro-
duction, they may sell any adj
ditional steel they can produce
to any customer. The buyer
would not have to go to NPA
for an allotment for the addi-
tional steel.
The steel company representa-
tives told NPA yesterday that,
after Defense Department and
Atomic Energy Commission re-
quirements are met, there re-
mains more steel for civilian, use
than was consumed in the pre-
Korean period.
They asked that, after July /,
production directives to the in
dustry be limited to taking care
OF defense and atomic energy
program needs.

BY JACK HAND

TAMPA, Fla. R - One of the
Surest things in the history of
baseball boomeranged into one of
the biggest surprises in the game
since the turn of the century when
Bill Week was refused permission
to transfer the st. Louis Browns
to Baltimore.
For almost week, unofficial
polls of the owners indicated that
mere formalitieS were involved in
the proposed switch. But when
they met here yesterday. they sent
Week back to st. Louis for at
least one more year by astounding
one and all with a So vote against
the switch. Only the Cleveland In
dams and the Chicago White Sox
repeatedly sided with Veeck.
AS officials talked it over today,
they were not so certain the Boston
Braves would receive permission to
transfer the National League fran
chiSe 10 Milwaukee. This move
also had been thought to be all
set except for the official voting in
