Prices Raised
On Textiles,
Steel, Dyes

NEW YORK, Dec. % DR.
Price increases which will hit
the consumers pocketbook from
a variety of angles were an
nounced yesterday on goods
ranging from lace to steel.
Republic Steel Corp. and Alan
Wood Steel Co. boosted the cost
of some extras on hot and cold
rolled sheets. An Alan Wood
spokesman said the increases
were between 212 and 3 per cent,
about in line with those made on
extras by other producers. Re-
lpublic's were just under 3 per
cent.
Similarly. upward adjustments
on nickel-bearing stainless steels
to match those made by others
were announced by U. S. Steel
and Carpenter Steel Corp. Big
steel raised the ante q of a cent
to 6 cents a pound, effective
today, and Carpenter made it IA
to 6 cents, effective with Thurs
days shipments. Both actions
stem from the recent advance
in the price of nickel.
The various steel boosts can be
expected to raise the cost of
many products made of steel.
Textiles also are likely to be
more expensive because of yes
lterday's actions.
Rayon. Nylon and filament
yarns were raised in price. What's
more, E. 1. Du Pont de Nemours
& Co., leading maker of dye
stuffs, announced an 10 per cent
boost in the price of dyestuffs
Starting January /. The textile
companies are among the larg-
est users of dyestuffs.
Industrial Rayon Corp. caught
up with others by raising prices
8 cents a pound on rayon. fila
ment yarns of 200 denier and
heavier, and S cents on yarns Of
$50 denier and finer. Chem
strand Corp. did the same thing
with a 5 per cent jump in nylon
f1lament yarns and so did Celia
nese Corp. of America with a
per cent increase in acetate fila
ment yarn.
1t was the recent fibre-price
boosts which will bring on lace
price hikes. An American Lace
Manufacturers Association sur.
vey pegged the advance at about
10 per cent.
i Cement also went up as the
Ideal Cement Co. announced in
creases of from 10 to Is cents 9
barrel in some areas.

Boyhood Ambition Leads to Career
|Of Is Years on D. c. Fireboots

A District fireman who mans
hoses from a rocking deck in
stead of a shaky ladder today
marked the end of his first Is
years on board Washington's
flreboat.
Earl Bingham, SIS, who resem-
bles the late Wallace Berry, has
fought river and shore fires
from Jones Point to Georgetown
on the old single stack steamer,
the Firefighter, and its diesel
driven successor, the William T.
Belt.
He has seen a lot of the old
stern wheelers and side wheelers
chug away for the last time,
gradually superseded by smaller,
motorized craft.
Mr.. Bingham realized a boy
hood ambition when he came
aboard the fireboat, now at Pier
S, Maine and M streets S.W.

at other activities. He went

The old f1reboat was an ice
