Steel Output
Holds Despite
Showdown

CLEVELAND. Aug. IL R.-
Steel output this year is run
ming ahead Of the record pro-
duction year Of 1855 despite a
showdown Of steel mill opera
tons during the summer
That was the word yesterday
from Steel magazine. which
says that production for the
first eight months this year will
total approximately 1875 million
tons, an increase of $500, 900
tons compared with the cor
responding period Of 1855.
The Woodworking weekly said
a turning point in steelmaking
operations is approaching with
producers hopeful for a pickup
in orders for Sep tie m b e r
delivery.
Steel production Is steady
although 1t is not as brisk as
1t was early this year. It has
lowered around 80 per cent of
rated capacity for the past six
weeks.
Steelmaking furnaces last
week operated at 70 per cent of
capacity for the second con-
secutive week. The yield was
2,022, 900 net tons.
Steel said the 1857 produc-
ton figure has been achieved in
the face Of slack demand from
the automotive industry.
"Steelmakers still find auto
motive orders disappointing, !"
1t said. Some orders for pre-
liminary runs on 1858 models
are developing, but large ton
nages are not due until next
month"
The magazines composite on
base prices Of finished steel
was unchanged last week at
$l46.l9 a net ton. The price
composite on steelmaking scrap
dropped 81 cents to 1888 a
gross ton. the lowest level since
the first week Of June.

Stocks Decline
On Wide Front;
TradnuDraus

NEW YORK. Aug. - R.-
The stock market fell back on
a wide front in the early after
noon today. Trading was un-
usually quiet.
Numerous key stocks were
down between / and 2 points.
Oils. metals. steels and rails
were the weaker sections.
Motors and rubbers were small
losers, while aircrafts were ir-
regularly higher.
The market was lower from
the start and prices wilted
further as trading dragged
along.
The business news back
ground was fairly spotty
ALCOA dropped more than
points after the company an
nounced a small layoff at its
Massena, N. Y, plant. ALCOA
officials attributed the cutback
to general business conditions
There were continued signs
Of weakness in demand fol-
copper. Trade sources said
that demand had not responded
to the cut Of u cent a pound
last week. and a big South
African copper company an
nounced a new reduction.
Market technicians pointed
out that the averages again
were approaching the June "a
lows, the area in which heavy
support was encountered last
Wednesday.

Discount Houses Turn
Into Department Stores

partment discount house across
the street, according to inde-
pendent price checks. In some
cases the store undercut the
discounter's price. In Allen
town. Pa, the Hess Brothers
department store has been
meeting all discount prices in
the Lehigh Valley and sales
this year are up is per cent.
Across the country, old estab.
lished merchants are meeting
the challenge of discounters'
prices. It's often painful, but
it's better to make a tiny profit
than none at all.
Near SaturatiOn Hurts
Meanwhile, the saturation in
appliances grew nearer. Sales
of television sets, washers.
dryers and many other plug-in
devices have been falling of.
This took some Of the bloom
of previous discount opera
tions. The ideal customer was
the man who needed an appli-
ance badly but who was un.
willing to pay the list price.
He would walk into a store.
pick out what he wanted, pay
for it and take it away in his
own car. The profit was small
but awfully fast. There are
few such customers today,
A third factor has been the
attenuation of price fixing
under so-called fair-trade laws.
A large number of big corpo-
rations have ceased to use the
laws to fix prices of their
products and the laws them
selves have been found uncon-
stitutional in almost a dozen
States. This permits everybody
to get into price-cutting to a
much greater extent.
The New Discount House
Shaping policies to realities,
discount houses are now broad
ening their lines, relying less
on appliances and related
goods. They are increasing
their sales forces and improv-
ing the quality. The discount
salesman who spoke only in
grunts, like the speakeasy bar.
tender who insulted all pa.
irons. was colorful in his era.
But the public is weary of him
and the era is passing.
Some discounters are offer.
ing delivery and a few other
services. Many are increasing
their promotions.
Despite frequent claims that
prices are low because we
don't advertise" discounters
almost always did some adver.
Using. But now many are EN-.
barking on broad programs.
The eight-store Masters chain,
with headquarters in New
York. has announced a $780,
600 program for the next IL
months.
In the end. the discount
houses may be indistinguish-
able from the department store

The character OF the dis
count house is changing again.
Before the war, discount
houses were almost like speak
easies. Many were in cheap,
upstairs locations. To get in
you had to say that Joe had
sent you or present a men,
bership" card, which was not
hard to get. If you bought a
price-flxed article, such as
well-advertised toaster, it was
described on the sales slip as
Il fgmwp."
During the war, discount
houses disappeared with the
waning supply of civilian
goods. They did not reappear
until the first setbacks after
the war. Discounters returned
to the scene as retailers, find
ing themselves overstocked, Of
fered to sell goods at distress
prices. "Transship" became a
current word in business.
A New York dealer, unable
to sell a carload of refrigera-
tors at the fixed price, would
arrange to "transship" them
to a Philadelphia discount
house. The New Yorker would
not lose his franchise for cut
ting the retail price, and he
would unload the ,cut-price
boxes in another market. At
the same time and for the
same reasons, some Philadel-
phia retailer would be unload
ing through a New York dis
count house.
The Golden Days
Then, as production caught
up with and surpassed demand,
the discount houses found end
less sources of goods and ex-
banded accordingly. They pre-
ferred low-rent locations and
they kept down overhead. Few
made deliveries; most consid-
cred the original carton suf-
flcient wrapping. Some allowed
returns within five days If the
article was in the original
carton; others considered all
sales final.
However, nearly all replaced
defective articles. There were
few displays, little advertising.
little service. In many places
you had to find the article and
take 1t to a counter to paw
for it. Others had only floor
samples and customers got
sealed cartons from storage
spaces.

Metal 7 rodes Strive
To Find New Markets

Already the race among The
metals is changing the look oil
things.
Strange new Office and fac
tory buildings are rising. Their
sides are clad in aluminium

alone or in combination.
Changes in home construc-
ton are getting beyond the
merely talking stage. The use
Of metal in frames, sidings,
doors. windows, awnings grows.
Auto Makers Experiment
Auto makers try new metal
combinations, both inside and
outside their new models and
talk Of more changes to come.
Research into precolored met
ais and into treating metals
for heat resistance and other
uses has spurred this.
Metals have pushed into the
apparel field at the high fash.
ion level and are an increasing
factor in home furnishings and
decoration.
The big post Korean War
bonanza when metals were in
short supply and sellers were
courted by buyers has come to
a halt for the time being. The
fairly sudden over supply has
turned even the most pampered
metal producer to look for new
uses.
For example, those great
competitors. copper and alu-
|minum, are now within kissing
distance in price. Copper at
Just over % cents a pound and
aluminium at 26 cents a pound
have to fight for markets.
Aluminium has been fighting
1t out with stainless steel as
skin material for skyscrapers.
But bronze "copper" and TIM is
the covering for one New York
Office building. And steel pan
els faced with vermillion COL
ored porcelain and gold tinted
windows edged with gold fin
ished aluminium is planned for
another. Preoxidized sheet
copper clads an Office building
in Oklahoma.
Nickle Hunts Markets
Nickle. a little surprised at
its sudden change in status. is
hunting new markets. AS a
part of stainless steel it sees
many possibilities. Research
into other alloys is now being
stepped up.
Aluminium is talking big Of
muscling in on the lucrative
can industry, where some 40
billion cans are sold for SIS
billion every year.
The fortunes of lead and zinc
are tied closely with progress
in many other industries-lead

household appliances. But lead
also has an increasing market
as shield against radiation

And zinc plays a part in syn
thetic rubber and pharmaceu-
ticals.

The economy drive also is ex-

authorization. House and Senate
committees will begin work on
this major subject soon. For sew

President Shops
In Garden Store

GETTYSBURG, Pa, April 6
P.-President Eisenhower put
tered around a garden shop in
a department store for As min
utes today-Just as millions of
other homeowners do at this
time of year
He spent about IS on green
bean and pea seeds and for in
secticides for use on rose bushes
and against Japanese beetles
He also locke din prices for
about 500 feet of wire fencing
for his farm, but made no I'M

Instead. the President ar
ranged for the Sears Roebuck
Co. to send man out to his
farm on the edge of Gettysburg
to measure the fence area and
submit price.
Mr.. Eisenhower did his shop
ping at Chambersburg, Pa, Is
miles west Of Gettysburg. He
drove there late in the afternoon
accompanied by his mother-in-
law. Mrs. John S. Doud, and
George E. Allen, a former Tru-
man administration official who
owns a farm near the Presi-

and Labor Committee will con-
slider it Thursday.
The corresponding Senate
Committee on Education and
Labor has been marking time to
see what the House does. Sena-
tor Hill. Democrat of Alabama,
chairman. said if the House
passes a bill without amend
ments designed to deal with
racial indignation. the Senate
committee will proceed with it
promptly. But he indicated that
amendments. similar to the
Powell amendment Of the last
Congress. would make final pas
sage unlikely.
Senator Ellender. Democrat OF
Louisiana. expressed the same
view last night. He reaffirmed
his support of a Federal school
construction program, but also
predicted that any racial inte-
grafton amendment would result
in the death of the legislation.
In his January message. Pres
ident Eisenhower expressed hope
that the school bill would be con-
Sidered on its own merits. UNI

of indignation.
Marking Time on Rights
Both Houses are still marking
time on the separate civil rights
program. aimed principally at
eliminating discrimination in en-
ployment and in voting. A House
committee has reported this
bill. but it appears to be facing
long delay in the Senate Judici-
airy Committee.
A general housing bill was re-
ported from the House Banking
Committee Friday. and Senator
Sparkman Democrat of Ala
bama, who handles this subject
in the Senate, predicted a hous-
ing bill will pass. He said ne
favors including a provision fol-
lower down payments to encour-
age the building of more low
cost housing.
