Steel Output
Sets Second
Weekly Record

CLEVELAND, April 80 (P.-
For the second straight week,
Americas steel mills broke all
time weekly production records
last week, Steel magazine re-
ported yesterday.
A pace of 1905 per cent of
rated capacity production turned
out 2,474,202 net tons of steel
the Woodworking weekly said.
1t was the fourth time this
year the mills have topped the
1855 weekly record of 2.421 900
tons set in the week ended De-
cember 10.
| Last January 90 the mills re-
corded a 7-day output of 2,449.-
584 tons. In the week ended
February 10, and again in the
week ended April %. the mills
produced 2.461, 1898 tons.
AS the current pace edged
above the rated capacity mark
Steel predicted record opera
tions for the second quarter OF
this year.
Shortages Remain
And despite this high level
the magazine said, many forms
Iof steel will remain difficult to
get.
Expected to be in short supply
Throughout the year are plates
standard structural shapes, wide
f1ange beams, seamless me-
chanical tubing, line pipe, oil
country tubular goods and pos
sibly small sizes of hot-rollec
carbon bars" said Steel
If there is no steel strike this
summer, Steel continued, cold
rolled carbon sheets may bt
easier to get as automakers work
off part of the inventories being
built up But this will not affect
other forms of steel in short
supply"
Steel said there is little like
| lihood of a general inventory re-
ceSsion similar to those of 1858
and 1854. even though some
analysts believe there are 10 to
20 million tons of steel in in
ventory.
1t explained that stocks are
not being fattened up across the
board. Inventory buying is con-
centrated principally in the au-
tomobile industry and mainly in
cold-rolled carbon sheets"
Inventories Are Problem
These inventories, the maya
zine added, ARE not expected to
strengthen the steel industry's
bargaining position with labor
in the June contract talks"
Steel said no one has had an
opportunity to build substantial
inventories of structural, plates
and oil country tubular goods.
In most instances. consumers
of structurals and plates are OPP
Grating hand-to-mouth, said
the magazine.
Steel's price composite on fin
iShed steel remained at $128.02
net ton last week, while scrap
prices rose 33 cents to a new
record of $55.33 a gross ton.

tions." Mr.. Allen said. I'VE want
to-we'd prefer to-and I hope
that it can be done. -.
However. If a situation arises
in which the U. N. is paralyzed.
that doesn't necessarily mean
that the United States will feel
paralyzed from taking measures
in the area"
Mr.. Allen said the United
States. Great Britain and France
could &C toutside the U. N. and
still be consistent with the pur-
poses Of the U. N. Charter.
What the West can do to pre-
serve or restore peace in the
Middle East has been discussed
lat two Washington meetings
among representatives of the
United States. Great Britain and
France. Mfr. Allen said, however.
that they do not claim that they
have a "God-given right or right
on any other basis to arrogate to
themselves the decision with re-
gard to that part of the world"
MIG Factor Noted
Mr. Allen said q serious new
factor in the arms picture In the
Middle East was the arrival Of
Communist MIG fighter planes
and IL bomber planes in Egypt.
But he gave no hint of an Amer
lican decision on Israei's request
to buy about $50 million worth Of
weapons in the United States.
II think represent a consid-
cradle body of opinion in the
United States that shrinks from
the idea of getting into the bus
mess Of selling implements Of
death and destruction" Mr..
Allen said.

The State Department dis
closed, meanwhile, that Mr..
