orfegu Wins Controversial
Decision Over The keed

Los Angeles -- (ANPD -- The
hope Of Kid Gavilan OF using his
return bout with Casper Ortega as
a stepping stone 20 a welterweight
title fight backfired last week
when the former titlist dropped a
split, controversial iO-round de-
cision to the Mexican fighter
from Tijuana.
A crowd of 5000 viewed the ac-
ton from ringside in Wrgley
Field here and voiced loud pro-
tests when the decision was an
nounced. one judge and the ref
cree scored II for ortega, while
the other Judge gave Gavilan the
nod.
Gavilan, the famous "Keed'
from Camaguay, Cuba, had pre-
viously beaten ortega in an up
set. He took last weeks fight
with the belief that he could win
and convince the games HER
archy that he deserves a title shot.
A l2-round nationally televisied
affair, the flint last week was re-
ported to be onep base of an ELI
nation tournament being conduct
ed to select a successor for Car
men Basilio, who vacated the title
when he won middleweight honors.
Thus, by losing, Gavlan was
eliminated from immediate title
consideration.

Problems of
Steel Demand

HOBOKEN. N. j.. May 6 R.-
United States Steel's most diff
f1cult and persistent problem" is
to keep pace with the enormous
demand which lies ahead for
Steel" Roger M. Blough, chair
man, told stockholders at the
annual meeting today.
Il believe the American steel
industry is in long and Cruel
ling race to keep up with an
economy that will continue to
expand-however uneven the
rate of that expansion may be-"
Mr.. Blough said.
In order to meet peak require
ments the steel industry must
add around SO million tons Of
capacity by 1875, Mr.. Blough
estimated. And he added: This
is equivalent 10 one new Fair
less works-only it will have to
be a larger one-each year for
the next 10 years"
Mr.. Blough noted the COM
pany's Fairless works cost more
than $3.50 million to build, add
ing it would cost much more
than that today.
In reviewing United States
Steel's record for 1856, the chair
man noted. Even though we re-
ceived more from our customers
during the year than we did in
1855. higher costs. plus the loss
of production caused by the steel
strike (from July / to August 81,
resulted in the anomaly of taking
in $131 million more but earning
$22 million less profit than we
did in 1856"

Steady Decline
Continues in
Steel Output

CLEVELAND. May 6 R.-
Continuing a steady decline.
steel production last week
dropped below 80 per cent of
rated capacity for the first time
in a nonstrike, nonholiday
week since September, 1855,
Steel Magazine reported yester-
day.
The Woodworking weekly said
mills operated at 88.5 per cent
of apacity-equivalent of 2.265, :
900 net tons of steel for ingots
and castings-which is is points
below the level for the proceed
ing week.
For the corresponding week a
year ago. production was at 1854
per cent of capacity. equivalent
at that time to 1878, 900 net
tons. The rated capacity is
higher now than it was a year
ago.
While noting that the reduced
steel production reflects a re-
Iduced demand. steel said the
lowered rate possibly is below
the consumption rate. since
many consumers are using up
inventories.
The trade publication said its
latest quarterly survey Of stocks
showed 40 per cent of the
respondents with inventories in
the 80 to 60-day category, COM
pared with 40 per cent three
months ago.
Further inventory reductions
are expected in hot and cold
rolled sheets and strip. light
plates and hot-rolled carbon
bars. hot-rolled alloy bars,
galvanized sheets, SCI nile S S
tubing and stainless sheets and
strip.
Steel noted a raise in price of
steelmaking scrap for the first
time this year to $43.67 q gross
ton in the week ending May /,
an increase Of SLIT In the pub
price average.
A As per cent increase in tin
mill products April 80 pushed
steel's base price composite on
finished steel to $l40.24 a net
ton in the week ended May /.
This is a 53-cent rise in the COM
posite. which has held at $l39.7l
for the past month.
