full? And it well might be if plans

Demand From West
Lifts Steel Output
Two Points in Week
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND. May 24.-Steel
ingot production rose two points
to 70 per cent of capacity last
week, highest peak attained since
the first Of March, Steel Maga-
zine reported yesterday.
The gain. after a one-point
rise the preceding week, was due
primarily to sharp production
increases in the far West and in
the Birmingham district, the
magazines weekly report said.
In the far West, the produc-
ton rate went up 1875 points to
74.5 per cent of capacity. Bir-
mingham had a 1875 gain that
upped the rate rs per cent.
Steel said most of the recent
strengthening in production
stems from a widespread in
crease in demand from steel
users who have lowered their
steel inventories as far as they
wish"
Almost none Of the increase is
based on protective buying
against a steel strike or against
United States intervention in
Indo- China, the magazine added
Continuing to stand out as q
product in strong demand are
galvanized steel sheets" Steel
continued. "They are wanted for
the government grain bin pro-
gram. air conditioning equip
ment and seasonal uses in the
agricultural field"
