Auto Demands Called
0verrated as Key 10
Steel Output in IS
BY the Assoeiosed Press

CLEVELAND. Feb. 28.-Steel
magazine said yesterday the
auto industry is being overrated
as a key to this years steel de-
mand.
There has been much specu-
lation that whether the auto in
dustry is hit by a strike this
summer or whether its market
wanes in the coming months
will determine the fate Of the
steel business for the year.
Steel magazine conceded that
the auto industry will be a big
factor in this picture as the
largest consumer Of steel. But
it pointed out that 80 per cent
of the Nations steel output goes
to industries other than auto
motive. Many of these indus
tries are either experiencing a
pickup or expecting one.
Already, the demand for
forms of steel used outside the
automotive industry is rising.
Plates, for instance, are picking
up as pipe line fabrication &C
CELEBRATES. Structural steel is
feeling a pickup. too." said Steel.
Steel production rose lis points
last week to 80 per cent of rated
capacity or 2,172,000 net tons.
