Steel Output Lead
OF Free World Over
Russia Dips in Year
BY ne As.oeia,ed Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 90. - The
free worlds advantage in steel
production over Communist
dominated lands slipped in 1854
from its previous lead of 4 to l
down to only 3 to l. Iron Age. the
national Woodworking weekly.
said today.
Impressive gains in steel pro-
duction by countries behind the
Iron Curtain combined with a
decline in output by the free
world were shown in a special
world steel production study
completed by the, magazine.
The worlds total steel produc-
ton dropped this year So per
cent from the 1858 record, largcIi
because of a 20.8 per cent decline
in United States output, said
Iron Age. World production in
1854 was given as 245, 100. 90 net
tons compared with 253, ,706, 900
tons in 1858.
Soviet bloc nations produced
III per cent more steel this year
than in 1853 while output in the
free world sank 9 per cent below
the 1853 record, according to the
study.
Production of Russia and her
satellites was listed as 62,825. 900
net tons this year compared with
58,337, 900 tons in 1853. In the
free world this years production
was 182, 1865 900 tons this year
compared with 00,369,000 tons
last year.
In the United States, steel
production this year totaled 3d.
500. 900 tons compared with ILL.,
600. 900 tons last year. Russia's
production this year was re-
ported as 44.900,000 tons COM
pared with 41,800.000 tons last
year.
So the advantage of the United
States over Russia dropped from
about 3 to / last year to 2 to
this year. The United States
production was off 20.8 per cent
in 1854 while Russia's gained IA
per cent.
Iron Age reported that despite
another contract holiday this
week steel production in the
United States is. scheduled to
move up 3.5 points to IT'S per
cent of rated capacity as mills
are paying double -time to get
out more metal.
The publication forecast an
increase to 80 per cent after the
holiday and that first-quarter
production will beat any 1854
quarter.

citations from the Brookline,
Mass. branch, Women's American
ORT, the Brooklyn Women's Di-
vision of the American Jewish
Congress, the Philadelphia Wo-
mems Division of the AJC, the
Federation of Jewish Women's
Organizations and recently Ruth
Chatterton also received the first
Heart Award of the Women's
Auxiliary of the Philadelphia
Variety Club for her work in
helping them with their camp for
underprivileged and handicapped
children.
"The Pride of the Peacock" tells
of four generations of women.
Particularly, it tells of Alexandra,
glamorous, selfish beauty whose
only fine fibre is her love and
respect for her grandmother, and
AleXandra's daughter who is
afraid to love lest she hurt others
as her own mother has. The
elderly wise one is able to teach
her that it is as great a sin to
ignore love as to abuse it. Miss
Chatterton's frontispiece quota
ton from Zwingler beautifully
sums up the emotion: "Tell your
daughter that she advise her
daughter that her daughter is
crying"
Her first book, 'Homeward
Bourne" was the story of a refu-
gee child brought to this coun-
try, and her second, 'The Be-
trayers, was an uncannily proph-
etc novel about famous scient-
ist caught in government inves-
tigation. Both of her earlier
novels were critical and popular
successes.

More Farmers Benea ting
From Modern
Machine Age

Within the last decade or so,
much Of the back breaking work
Of farming has disappeared
thanks to increased mechanical
power, points out County Exten-
sion Agent, George Vapaa. No
longer does the American farmer
have to rely solely on muscle poW-
er to get his farm tasks out Of
the way
Increase in mechanization Of u.
S. farms has been pronounced
since 1910, especially in the South.
Figures recently compiled by the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture
show that from 1910 to 1858, num-
bers Of farm tractors Of all types
In this country increased about
1S5 per cent. and for motor trucks,
the increase was about $50 per
cent
Numbers Of farm tractors IN the
southern states bordering the Miss
issippi River and east Of the river
increased skiold during the same
period, the report indicated.
On the other hand, farm automo-
biles for the country as a whole
have increased since 1910 by less
than 10 per cent
The USDA report said that since
1912, the number Of farms with
milking machines has increased by
about 180 per cent, while the NUM-
Der Of field-type cOrnpickers has
Increased about 400 per cent, adds
the county agent. The number of
grain combines on farms in 1853
exceeded 100000, compared to 375,-
600 Ia 1945, and only about $4,000
in 1880, according to the report.

A similar branch operating at
Preston, Maryland, utilizes an Of
flee where telephone connections
are maintained with the exchange
during the days auction. Local
buyers or sellers need not go all
the way to Selbyville, but transmit
instructions on selling or buying
by an open telephone line. The ra-
diO report of the auction in prog
ress keeps other potential buyers
or sellers informed of bids at all
times.
Briefly, the exchange is a non
profit corporation of poultry grow
ers interested in improving broil-
er marketing conditions. 1t grew
out of a need by growers to attract
a larger number of potential buy
ers. All growers are aware that
broilers cannot be held profitably
once they reach market weights.
