Steel Surplus Called
Unlikely Unless U. 5.
Has Major Depression
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, May 11.-No
surplus steel will be available
unless the nation has a full
scale depression, Steel Magazine
predicted yesterday.
Producers would retire some
old plants or put them on a
standby basis if there was a
moderate decline in business"
the Woodworking journal de-
clared.
Rising prices will not ease the
demand, the magazine said.
holding that "as long as steel
customers continue to enjoy
their present high level of busi-
ness they will buy steel regard
less of price"
Prices on some extras" (spe-
cial items) have gone up, as have
a few base prices. But the mag
azine said that unless the CIO-
steelWorkerS union gets a pay
raise, most base prices will not
jump.
"The industry will not be
stampeeded into granting a wage
boost" said the magazine. This
time the Government will not
interfere with the negotiations.
AS one of its bargaining points,
the industry is likely to intro
duce at the negotiations a new
means of measuring worker pro-
ductivity. Study has been un-
der way for some time on such
a yardstick."
"Steel's" composite on scrap
metal dropped last week from

The Nations mills operated at
100 per cent of their rated ca
pacity last week, a drop of half

 Cut in Alaska Publicity
 Under the provisions of law passed by the 83rd Congress, government agencies will hence forth pay postage on the mail they send out, just like private business firms firms and indivi- duals. While some of these agen- cies will continue to use fran ked envelopes, without stamps, they will have to count the num- Der of pieces they place in the mail and pay the Post Office De- partment by lump sum. Other agencies, the Governors Office included, will use postage stamps.
 The law was passed after most If not all department budgets had been set up and approved and the appropriations passed by Congress. Few if any of them made allowance for this extra payment of postage and many departments will have to watch their mailings during the remain der of the fiscal year.

 SEEKING ALASKAN DAIRY FARM STUDIES

The following letter was re- ceived by L. O. Hollist of the Extension Service, Fairbanks re- gently and sent to Richard Blue of the Palmer office with the thought that some Valley farmer might be interested in assisting the young Japanese youth who desires farming study in Alaska. Former plans with the Creamer Dairy of Fairbanks did not materialize. Hollist said.
 The letter follows:
 Dear MT. Hollist
 Always, I could never thank you, enough for your kindly spirit for me. Yes, I have re- ceived your air letter of August 19.
 We'll, I have wishing to get MT. Creamer's calling letters e copies); Inviting letters, from Ja- pan to Alaska, in which his identity card, as my helper.
 And so, by his inviting letter, I will be able to receive a pass port to Alaska, from the minister of Foreign Affairs. This matter is pressing for me.
 And. according to the immigra- ton Restriction Law of your country, it is too difficulty to move to MT. Creamer's dairy, as an apprentice farmer, for me. And so, I wish to be invited as one of his family, for learning "A Dairy managing" for 3 years stay. If he do so, this will be un- necessary in order to meet the immigration restrictions.
 And, now, I am studying my voyage fee which be able to reach by the lowest price. As I told you, I wish to borrow my voyages fee from him. Will please tell him about this letter.
 Dear MT. L. O. Hollist I don't want to go to Mir. Creamer's Dairy for try to feather my own nest, but to establish "A Dairy Farming Village" at this valley. My valley is much poor, I have thought that Even a hungry child in the world is a denial of today's civilization as one of teacher.
 Please, please help me. May God bless you.
