Bethlehem Steel Sets
HaIf-Year Record in
Earning and Output
BY the Asseeioted Press


NEW YORK, July 31.-Board
Chairman Eugene G.. Grace of
Bethlehem Steel Corp. reported
yesterday his company broke
earning and production records
the first half of this year and
expects plenty of business in
the months to come.
Bethlehem, the second larg-
est steel maker in the United
States, set it's all-time record for
a Six-month period by earning
S59,495.136 in the first half of
1858.
Those profits, equal to $5.87
a share of common stock, com
pare with $24,3O4,73O, or $2.19
a share, in the first half of 1852
when the steel industry was Grip
pied by Nationwide strike.
In the second quarter this
year, Bethlehem'S earnings
reached $28,534,103, equal to
@1'o4 snare, compared with
$5,378,685 or 80 cents a share
IN the same quarter last year.
The second quarter earnings
were under the $3O,961 ,O33
chalked up in the first quarter
OF 1853 but Grace explained
that was because the company
had expected the excess profits
tax to expire last month. When
1t appeared probable the law
would be extended for another
six months, the company had to
enlarge its provision for. the tax
to cover the first quarter. The
tax since has been extended to
the end of 1858.
The company's billings for the
first six months set another all
time record at $1,O56, 6,293, ,226.
That compares with $8O6,7 5,149
IN the same period last wear.

fHe Upsets Bassett

If Dave Gallardo, 23-year-old
Mexican from Los Angeles who
has gone undefeated since 1851,
upsets Percy Bassett in their
10-round TV bout at Uline Arena
Wednesday night, his manager,
Jimmy Hamilton, is prepared
to go all-out for a rematch at
Is rounds for the world interim
featherweight championship,
currently held by Bassett.
Hamilton, a West Coast chin
chilla rancher, shares the belief
of Chalky Wright, forme I
featherweight champion and
Gallardo's trainer, that his fight
er will take Bassett Wednesday
night.
I'll be ready to post any bond
required by the National Boxing
Association in an effort to get
such a bout here under the pro-
motion of Goldie Ahearn," Ham
iton said today. I'VE flew here
from the Coast last week in order
that Gallardo could train in the
proper environment, and we
wouldn't have taken this match
and the trouble and expense of
coming here if we weren't con-
fident he would win"
Meanwhile, Gallardo continues
to work out impressively and has
scheduled three rounds each to-
day with Jimmy Cooper and
