CLEVELAND, June IL tP.-
Steel demand has lost some Of

Iterday, but the letup is not re-
fiected in any slackening in
steelmaking operations.
The national ingot production
rate held unchanged at 96.5 per
cent of rated capacity for its
fourth straight week. This is
equal to an output Of about
I2,375.00O net tons a week, or
better than the average weekly
production in any month except
two during the record year Of
1855.
Steel repeated its confident
outlook that last years record
of lit million net tons would
be topped this year with the
production of at least 122 mil
lion tons.
The current production rate
would have even been higher II

I There was a clear inference
that the Southerners have been
given to understand that the
Platform Committee will do all
it can to avoid an open break
over the civil rights issue.
But the danger of split lies
in the possibility that Northern
liberals, if they think the plat
form is not strong enough. may
take their fight to the floor of
the convention and upset it.
Up to now. it has been taken
for granted that most of the
uncommited Southern delegates
would go along with Mr.. Steven
son on the first ballot. on the
theory that he would be more
conSiderate of the Southern
viewpoint on segregation than
Gov. Averell Hartman of New
York, the only other serious
contender for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
Hint at Platform Trouble
Thus far, there are no definite
signs that they will do other

ment, made in a televised inter-
view. has at least caused some
of the Southern leaders on the

Party platform.
In a letter to Senator Pres

man of the Resolutions Commit

vention, Mr.. Fino'said a Govern

$40 billion to Federal revenues
and mean a tax cut for every

Of course, the dilemma facing
the Southern leaders is that they

But he added, Il can't say /

Democratic Party to express its

The chairman took the view
that it would be unnecessary and

that, if such a precedent is es-
tabllshed. party platforms in

After expressing his feeling
