Civilian Use Exceeds
Military on Steel
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Aug. 3.-Civil-
ian industries exert far greater
pressure on steel demand than
do producers of military equip
ment, Steel, the Woodworking
weekly, said.
The magazine stated that the
Korean truce would have little
influence on the steel market.
Over $43 billion earmarked for
military spending during the
1854 fiscal year exceeds by 5000
million the 1853 fiscal figure and
by 81 billion the amount budg-
eted for fiscal 1852.
OF the fiscal 1854 budgetary
amount, Steel said. only SIT bill
lion will go directly to industry;
the remainder is the cost of run
ming the military establishment.
The budget calls for buying from
industry the following:
Navy aircraft, almost So bill
lion; Navy shipbuilding, about
So billion; Army procurement,
SIS billion: Air Force aircraft,
over Sc billion; miscellaneous
hard goods, more than 81 billion.
However, though defense re-
qulrements have strained the
supply of some forms of steel.
notably large bars The auto
mobile industry's steel consump-
ton is by far the largest single
determinant of the pace of the
steel industry" the weekly said.
