Increase in Demand
For Steel Appears
Still More Remote

NEW YORK. Mar. 24.-An up
turn in the steel market seems
more remote now than it has
for several weeks, the Iron Age,
national Woodworking weekly,
said today.
SteelmaKing operations are
scheduled at 66.5 per cent of
rated. capacity. a drop of 112
points from last week.
Industry optimistS who had
predicted an upturn in the first
quarter are now discouraged
about immediate prospects in the
steel business. said the Iron Age.
But there are some bright
spots. Scrap prices rose this week
for the first time in 1854. Anoth-
er favorable sign is improvement
in wire demand.
Since wire was the first car
bon steel product to turn soft
last year. mills are hoping the
current pickup in wire orders
may be a signal for revival of
demand for other products" said
the Iron Age.
But the publication says buy
ers show no inclination to raise
their April schedules or to hint
that May will be better.
One of the big auto companies
has established percentage allot-
ments to govern the placing of
orders among its steel Suppliers,
said the Iron Age. and its buyers
are expected to follow these arbi-
trary percentages very closely in
placing business.
Layoffs in the stainless steel
field show another turn for the
worse. although that market
showed signs of picking up
month ago. said the Iron Age.
To make sales the steel mills
have had to make promises of
quick delivery, said the Iron Age.

What DO YOU
Think?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

Tuesday afternoon in the Gov
ernor's office Chief Justice Hugh
Adair administered the oath of office
to Horace Sumner Davis to fill the
unexpired term of the late associate
justice Harrison J. Freebourn.
The new associate justice it 62
years old and came to the court from
his practice of law in Billings.
He has son in San Francisco who
is a graduate engineer from NIT,
and daughter, Mrs. Robert E. Lynn
of Poison.
Mr.. Davis is a friendly man, about
whom little is known except in legal
circles where | am told he has repu-
tation of being good constitutional
lawyer.
He was born October %, 1892, in
Worcester, Massachusetts, and came
to Montana in 1910. He was educated
in Montana schools except for two
years at the University of Chicago
where he received his Phi. D. in 1915
and J. D. in 1916. He married Edna
Patterson, a Livingston school teach
er, three hours before boarding the
train for service in World War I;
he was county attorney in Big Tim
Der for two terms and went to Bill
lings to practice law in 1926.
Characteristic of Aronson appoint
ments, Horace S. Davis has a reputa-
ton for "having a mind of his own"
The swearing in ceremony was at
tended by the press and the members
of the Supreme Court, and the only
thing lacking was that the Governor
forgot to put the coffee pot on.
Somewhere around the 18th or
18th of December there was an article
in the local company paper that said
"Aronson Gives Long Holiday to
State and County Employees, and
then told about how state and county
offices would be closed from Friday
noon until Monday morning, the
Governor was giving 21a day holi-
day.
Well. it seems his nibs took quite
a bit of ribbing about it, and later
were tempered, but
not until some sharpies got busy.
The following contributions came
to this office, and just for laughs we
pass it on.
''The Long Holiday" or
"God gave us Sunday, Christ gave

PhiIco Tries to Eliminate
Competition Says
Justice Department

Philadelphia (CNS)-Philco has
violated the antitrust laws, the JUS
tice Department said in suit filed
here, December Is.
The government says Philco forces
each of its distributors to sell only
to retailers in a certain area. The
wholesaler can't sell directly to con-
sumers nor to retailers outside its
area. Philco also forces each retailer
to sell only to consumers, not to
other retailers the Justice Depart
ment says.
Philco's sales pattern eliminates
competition at both the wholesale
and retail level" the suit says. A
manufacturer can't lawfully do this,
Attorney General Herbert Brownell
commented in Washington.
Philco's president, James T. Car
mine, didn't deny that this is the way
his firm operates. He said many man
ufacturers sell their products this
way. It's the only way to give con-

to physicians to carefully screen the
need for such tests; by changing pro-
cedures for syphilis testing through
the adoption of the VDRL slide test
as a routine screening procedure with
the performance of special syphilis

limitation of testing of private water

Further reductions were achieved

Extensive reductions in public
health services and reductions in
