Steel Makers
Begin 10 Feel
Auto Demands

NEW YORK. Oct. II Up. -
Hard-pressed steel producers
trying to keep up with the de-
mand for steel are beginning to
get the expected big orders from
automobile manufacturers this
week. the Iron Age, national
Woodworking weekly, said today
Some mills report that major
auto companies want 100 per
cent of their normal tonnage OF
sheet steel for December, the
magazine added.
Detroit has been playing IL
close this year, Iron Age said
and when the buying public gets
its first good look at the new
models. the floodgateS may
swing open.
Even without auto orders. the
industry has been operating at
capacity and above to keep pace
with demand. Iron Age said.
The freight car shortage COM
plicates matters, since finished
steel in many cases is setting on
shipping docks. the magazine
said. In addition. many freight
cars are being used to carry
iron ore as steel producers strive
to Offset last summers ore boat
strike and avert a shortage next
spring. it added.
Iron Age also said makers of
plate and structural steels are
feeling pressure from Congress
men and other Government
people to do something about
the shortage. One large struc-
tural fabricator has to turn
down business unless his custom
ers are willing to accept de-
livery in 10 to 20 months. Iron
Age said.

.Homogenized'
Cigarettes Hit
BY the Associated Press

The attention, of Congress Is
being called to a new method
of using tobacco stems as well
as leaves in the manufacture OF
some cigarettes.
Representative Tuck, Democrat
of Virginia. said he is Offering
a bill to ban interstate commerce
in such cigarettes unless each
package is labeled to indicate
the process was used.
II have been informed" Tuck
said, that some cigarette COM
panies have developed a process
whereby they are grinding up q
part or all of the stem into min
ute particles and, after adding
an adhesive, the particles are
pressed into a thin sheet which
then is shredded so that it takes
on the ordinary appearance OF
genuine tobacco"
Use of stems in the new
"homogeniZed" tobacco method
is said to have been developed
three years ago by a European
refugee.
Recently, President j. B. Hut
son of Tobacco Associates re-
ported that U. S. manufacturers
last year made 3 per cent more
cigarettes but used about A mil
lion pounds less tobacco.

Business Chiefs
See Peak Year

Business leaders in every ma
jor industry expect 1856 to be
a new record year. They are
betting Sc billion that unprece-
dented prosperity lies ahead.
This was reported yesterday on
the basis of results cleaned from
a new survey by the Commerce
Department and the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The
survey went into business an
Iticipations Of capital spending
plans.
The 5000 firms which report
annually spend about three.
fifths of all money laid out by
United States business on new
plant and equipment, and make
about the same percentage of all
sales. The Commerce Depart
Iment and the SEC said replies
this year from the large and
small business leaders indicated
that: 7H
l. Businessmen in every major
industry group anticipate that
sales in 1856 will exceed the
1855 totals. In 1855 the United
States economy burst through
all previous records except in
agriculture.
2. Business is planning out
lays for new plant and equip
ment this year of nearly $35 bill
lion. This would be % per cent,
or approximately $6 billion,
higher than capital spending of
almost $29 billion last year, the
highest total yet on record.
3. All major industries are
joining in this Sc billion wager
that expanded and more modern
facilities for production, sales
and service will be needed in the
very near future to keep up with
demand-that is, the economy
lis moving up to record new levels
of new prosperity.
4. Manufacturing is schedul-
ing the biggest increase in plant
and equipment spending this
year.
5. Big business is scheduling
the biggest increases In capital
outlays this year but "all size
groups of manufacturers" expect
to participate in the push to get
more and better facilities in
place.
6. In the manufacturing
groups, railroads and utilities
are planning the biggest in
creases this year in their outlays
on modernization and expansion.
