Another sure sign of spring is
the gathering of the Presidents
Cup Regatta clan. They met
this week at the Willard and,
among other things, reelected
most Of their officers and direc-
tors.
On hand were such regatta
veterans as Admiral Merlin
ONeill, former commandment of
the Coast Guard, who is now
living near Solomons, Nd, and
likes to call himself a loafer,
first class. Two new regatta
hands who pledged their sup
port were District Commission
ers Samuel Spencer and Col.
Thomas A. Lane. Spencer is a
longtime windjammer owner.
Highlight of the meeting was
President John Remon's presen-
tation of a memorial resolution
to Mrs. Katherine Rogers, widow
OF Bill Rogers. Remon recalled
Rogers long service to boating
and noted that Bill helped
launch the regatta in the 1920s.
These officers were reelected:
Edward c. Baltz, chairman of
the board; Remon. president;
Edgar Morris, Ben Treadwell,
Jack Blank and Eddie Carr, vice
presidents: Winnie Walter, sec
rotary; Robert Fleming, treas
urer, and Jim Councillor, con-
troller.
More than SO directors also
were renamed for another year,
including Secretary of the In
terror Douglas Mckay and Dis
trict Court Judges Edward
Tamm and Richmond B. Keech.

Steel Mills Appear
To Be Facing Crisis
In Demand
By the Associated Pres,

NEW YORK, Mar. 23.-The
steel market is being pushed to
demand-supply crisis by the
general industrial recovery, Iron
Age, the national Woodworking
weekly. said today.
The outlook for steel business
in the third quarter is getting
stronger. it added.
The economy Is surging for
ward and the demand for steel
is spreading into more and more
industries like chain reaction
with the huge automotive in
dustry demand serving as a
trigger, it added.
Iron Age commented as fol-
lows:
More consumers are paying full
warehouse prices for relatively
small tonnages due to delayed
mill deliveries. The mills, in
turn, are running into shortages
of shipping space.
Lack of trucks has piled up
$500 tons Of finished steel at
one mill in the Midwest. Others
are having similar difficulties.
So-called steel brokers are re-
ceiving more inquiries for pre-
MUM priced material. Offering
prices are mounting toward
warehouse level for compare
lively large tonnages. So-called
secondary material has prac-
tically disappeared from the
market due to upgrading.
Steel conversion has not
reached major proportions as
yet but inquiries to mills for
semif1nished steel are increasing,
indicating that some sources
may be trying to lay the ground
work for domestic conversion ar
rangements.
The continued high consumer
demand for cars indicates a
strong automotive push for steel
through the first half, barring
a strike in the automotive in
duStry in June.
Contributing to the demand
supply crisis is a rise in buying
for farm appliances, construc-
ton. oil, gas and pipe line pro- 4!
jects. Even the railroads, whose
demand for steel had dwindled
to a trif1ing amount, are becom-
ing a demand factor now.
