Scrap Price Declines
Cause Some Concern
In Steel Industry
By the AssocIoted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The
sinking spiral of steel scrap prices
worries many people who regard
scrap prices as bellwether of
future steel business, Iron Age,
the National Woodworking
weekly said today.
But, the magazine added, it is
little short of sheer folly" to
forecast the steel business on the
basis OF scrap prices alone.
The price of scrap has plunged
for eight consecutive weeks since
the market hit it's yearly high
July 28, said Iron Age, and de-
clineS now total about $40 a ton.
Sinking scrap prices, said the
magazine, "are playing a role in
the revival of the old drama, re-
cession jitters.'"
Truth is that scrap prices do
tend to indicate future steel busi-
ness, as they did in 1949 and 1850,
pointing first to decline in steel
business followed by a strong re-
vival.
But scrap prices are so highly
volatile they sometimes reflect no
more than corrections in rela-
tionship between supply and de-
mand within the scrap industry
itself. Wild price gyrations in
the circus market of 1947, for
example, were not reflected in
the steel industry which plodded
along at a fairly steady pace"
I Iron Age said the current de-
clines in scrap prices seem only
to indicate the fourth quarter de-
cline in steel that was predicted
early this year.
1T has already been signaled
by Cd end of conversion (2) de-
clining premium prices, and (3)
slowing of new orders on some
steel items,' the magazine added.
The new declines in scrap,
however, threaten to turn the
steady retreat of recent weeks
into a rout," said Iron Age.
How far prices might tumble
before they hit bottom land per-
hapS bounce back a Bit is any,
body's guess" it said. Some in
the trade have already taken
shellacking."
Steel producers, said Iron Age,
must continue to attract capital
for expansion and modernization
but when business falls off in
vestorS become wary.

Lebanon Also Joins
In Fight on Israeli
Jordan River Project
BY the Associafed Press

BEIRUT, Lebanon. Sept. 25.-
A third Arab country, Lebanon.
Joined Syria and Jordan today
in demanding that the United
Nations halt an Israeli project
for diverting the Jordan River
for a hydroelectric project.
Israel rejected yesterday a re-
quest by Norwegian Maj. Gen.
Vagn Bennike, chief of staff of
the U. N. truce team in Palestine,
to call off the project. The work
continued today. reports from
Tel Aviv said.
Gen. Bennike made his plea
after Syria and Jordan had pro-
tested that the project would
dry up some of their land.
Beirut newspapers demanded
today that the Arab collective
security pact be invoked if
Israel persists with the work.
Taking Diplomatic Steps.
Lebanese Premier Abdullah
Yafi told newSmen that his for
eign ministry was taking diplo-
matte steps to halt the digging
of a canal by Israel for the hy-
droelectric development. The
waterway would be 9 miles long
and end in an artificial lake 220
yards below sea level. 1t would
be in the demilitarized border
zone between Israel and the Arab
states.
A high Lebanese official said
yesterday the Jordan has it's
sources in three tributaries from
Syria and Lebanon and that
these two countries could divert
the tributaries if Israel rejected
Gen. Bennike's plea to halt the
project.
An Israeli government spokes-
man announced last night in Tel
Aviv that Israeli Foreign Minis
ter Moshe Sharett had told Gen.
Bennike his request was con
trary to the U. N. Charter and
the armistice agreement" ending
the Palestine war.
Gen. Bennike said he did not
think one country should do
anything in the demilitarized
border zone contrary to the in
terest of other parties.
Truce Agreement Cited.
Mr. Sharett contended that
the Israeli-Syrian armiStice
agreement provided for full
restoration of civilian life in the
demilitarized zone and was not
intended to prevent progressive
development of either country.
He added that Israel had "un-
dertaken to provide in the fu-
ture for a full volume of water
now used by Arab cultivators in
the area for irrigation purposes"
Referring to press reports that
Syria was contemplating mill
tary action if Israel did not stop
the work, military spokesman
here said IF the Syrians should
open fire. Israel will take appro-
pirate means to secure peace and
security in the disputed area"
