Steel Output Drops
As Demand by Auto
Industry Still Lays
ey the Assoe,oted Press

CLEVELAND, Mar. 8.-Demand
from the automotive industry,
biggest consumer of steel, con-
tinues to lag and steel ingot
production last week hit a low
point for the year, Steel Maya
zine reported yesterday.
The weekly magazine of metal
working said output declined
2.5 points last week to 70 per
cent of capacity. or 1870, 900
net tons. That compared with
a 75.5 per cent Of capacity opera
ton in January.
Sales to ship builders and
railway car producers also are
slow, and orders from farm i'm
plement makers are not show
ing as much seasonal pickup
as usual, Steel said. A firm spot
in the picture is the good and
steady demand for steel by pro-
ducerS of barges and towboats,
the magazine added.
Steel's price composite on fin
ished steel held firm at $113.91
a net ton for the 18th straight
week during the week ended
March 4. There is a growing
inclination of consumers to
haggle over prices and order on
rush" basis, Steel said.

Many Killed As
 Big Quake Wrecks 4 MA~;"an Towns

MEXICO CITY, R-A strong earthquake wrecked four towns in the tropical coffee growing state of Chiapas Friday, killed many persons and spread damage and terror over an area 50 miles in diameter, a dispatch from Tux tia Gutierrez said Saturday.
 Mercy planes were reported flying doctors, nurses, medicines and other supplies to the stricken zone, in the rugged jungle coun- try centered 70 miles northeast of Tuxtla Gutierrez, the capital, and about 100 miles west of the Guatemalan frontier Communi- cations were disrupted.
 Seismographs in New York, Boston, Cleveland, Pasadena and elsewhere in the United States had recorded a tremor at about 10:24 am. (EST) in the area of Mexico.
 The first word to reach Mexico City came in a delayed telegram from a newspaper correspondent in the state capital. He offered no estimate of the total casualties or damage, but said the towns of Yajalon, Tita, Petalcingo and Chiffon were hard hit by the mid morning quake and hillsides crumbled.
 The correspondents account gave this picture:
 Yajalon, center of a corn, sugar and fruit belt, suffered most. Mar kets and other buildings in that town of 2,00O were leveled.
 Petalcingo, pop. 1,500, was vir- tually destroyed, many were killed there and hundreds were injured.
 In Chiffon, pop. 600, 24 houses were destroyed and 90 percent of the rest were damaged seriously. The villagers, fearful that other quakes would follow, fled into the open.

 Her father, James T. Hull, says, ''The whole family is enthusiastic about George" Her mother, a little less enthusiastically, says she tolerates George around the house but draws the line" at pet alligators.
