THE EFFECT OF STEEL PRICE RISE

The nations major appliance manufacturers have
tentatively indicated they will refrain from passing on to
retail buyers the increased costs of steel Although some
manufacturers believe the eventually feel
the price RISE most of them hestant to increase prices
ct present.
One bright spot in the prospective picture is the
plentiful steel supply Because steel had been short
appliance manufacturers have had to buy and use
premium steel in years rather than wait for lower
grade steel This naturally increased production costs
Now that the steel supply is plentiful appliance manu-
facurers will not coser Steel thus cut the unit
cost in appliance production.
In refraining from hiking appliance prices manu-
facturers are reflectng collective belief that the in
fatonary spiral has reached its peak and that further
price increases not in order in the sterilization
iod ahead In taking this attitude manpfacurers also re-
ilect knowledge Of the consumer whosensing pen-
tiful supply Of goods not inclined to pay higher
prices at the moment although they may yet be forced
upon him.

cago and who had gained his
nickname because of his flint like
determination TO let nothing stand
in the way of his success! Now
the Club Melody was only one Of
his business enterprises--iust a
toy with which he played for
amusement and some said. an ex-
cuSe to give former friends en-
ployment. II was reported that he
got spectacular prices for his
yearlings at the Saratoga sales.
He had bought one of the oldest
estates not far out of the city and
also maintained large. luxurious
town apartment. But all of this
had not enabled him to penetrate
the inner social circle the town
boosted, though he mad recently
gained a tenacious foothold by
supplying money a most exclusive
club had needed to keep it from
going on the rocks.
Now, as Greer felt that dark
amused glance upon her, she
threw herself into the rhythm of
the dance. Arnie, surprised at her
abandon, matched her perform
ance recklessly, so that as they
left the floor there was smatter-
ing of applause.
Greer found herself next TO Jeif
Mansfield and began to ply him
with questions about his profess
sion. JEFF mad gained something Of
a reputation as a commentator
during the war, but Greer was not
really interested. She only felt
that she must talk, be gay-any-
thing to still that ache in her heart
Ito blot out the memory of her
fathers white queerly agonized
face at the dinner table.
Il should have stayed with him

over. II shouldn't have left him

bling him, making him miserable.

DR.. Milton Eisenhower President of Pennsylvania
State College recently left 36-day trip which will
carry him into all the South American Republics Dr.
Eisenhower going at the request of his brother Pres
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower with the rank of Ambassa-
dor
With the new Administration SO enmeshed in the
problems Of Europe and the Far East some South Aer
can Republics have felt they being neglected by
their large and prosperous Northern neghbor in an at
tempt to offset gains made by antiAmercan groups in
South America the President is sending his brother
this mission as Ambassador of good will
Even though the United States disagrees with many
of the policies and the system of government in Argen-
tina, Dr. Eisenhower will visit that country well the
others It Is hoped that on his return he will be able to
give the President and top State Department officials
information and advice future relations with South
America.
It is something of tragedy that decline in u S.
fortunes has set in in South America since the Good
Neghbor policy initiated by Cordell Hull and President
Roosevelt in the 1905 will be remembered that most
of South America rallied quickly to the defense of the
United States when this country became involved in
World War IL From geographical standpoint, South
American friendship and alliance is important to the
United States that of any other continent Diplomats
and journalists writing from the South American contn-
en have repeatedly warned in recent months that u S.
prestige and friendship declining in that
II DR.. Eisenhower accomplish something in the
way of checking this decline, his mission will be well
warranted There Is little doubt of his talents and
knows better than the President that he is well
qualified to succeed in his efforts The Importance of the
effort cannot be over-estimated.

HOLLYWOOD. n - Recently a
columnist ran an item:
advice to actors: work hard,
give a great performance, win an
Oscar, don't work: like Katina
Paxinou, James Dunn. Luise Raj
ner, Paul MUM, Mercedes Nc
Cambridge, Celeste Holm"
This brought up the old Holly
wood question: Is there such a
thing as an Oscar curse? asked
Miss McCambridge, who made a
sensational, award-winning debut
in films as the backstage politico
in "AIl the Kings Men" and has
done little in the movies since.
"Of course there's no Oscar
curse" she replied fatty. win
ming an Oscar is certainly no draw
back; ii is bound to do a person
some good. / am very grateful to
considerably more than that.
"It is true that those actors who
were named in the item have not
done much in pictures lately. But
don't forget this: ali Of them. my
self included, are pretty difficult
to cast. The exception is Jimmy
Dunn, who is a great personality,
although the producers don't seem
to realize it.
I'm sure the Oscar has done
plenty of good for someone like
Gary Cooper. 1t would also be
great for the career OF . Marilyn
Monroe"
Miss McCambridge subscribed to
the theory that there are actors
and personalities in the movies.
The actors often win Academy
Awards: the personalities win the
box office h0nors. And it's the per-
sonalities who are most in demand
by the producers.
Part of Miss McCambridge's abb
sence from the screen has been
"a matter Of circumstance. She did
"a few pictures after Der Oscar.

That's a safe enough promise.

Arnie lowered over her, his arm
frankly around her shoulders. The
confusion increased, the smoke
was like a thick veil Of fog, max
ing your eyes ache, your head
reel. Greer suddenly hated il all
with a desperate kind Of loathing.
