NEW YORK.-July % (P.-
The Middle East crisis is giving
steel users q bad case Of inven-

no sharp pickup in steel buying
as yet, Iron Age Magazine said
today.
The publication said metal
working companies with low
steel inventories are now taking
a hard second look at their
stocks. Some already have
moved quietly to bolster their
market position.
1T is slowly dawning on
many metal users. Iron Age
said, "that we may be headed
for trouble in the near future
This feeling is expected tc
quicken the buying of steel
aluminium. copper and certain
machines ana equipment.
The oil industry is alerted
and will probably reverse its
slow buying policies in steel and
other metals and materials
There is also belief that de-
Tense spending will gain speed
Although no sharp pickup in
steel buying has been noted,
the Woodworking Weekly said
auto companies will be stepping
up their purchases in the near
future. It added:
"Other major users had been
expected to come into the mar
ket for heavier tonnages soon
even without the impetus OF
Middle East developments"
Steel output is likely to hit
SIS per cent or better of capacity
this month with rs to 80 pei
cent expected in the fourth
quarter. the publication said.

The gas is pinched into a
narrow column at 5 million de-
grees centierade and the atoms
fuse under 10000 pounds OF

4 The number Of neutrons
squeezed out In this perform

The scientists estimate they
are getting 100 trillion--l0 TO

( How many neutrons would
they need TO get from the proc

Well. they are shooting for
