Steel Output
Drops Again
To $751; Rate

CLEVELAND. Feb. "a tR.-
The lowest point Of the decline
in steel production was reached
with a one-point drop last week
to SIS per cent Of capacity.
Steel Magazine reported yester-
day.
"Some slight improvement is
noted in orders for delivery
next month";" the weekly jour-
nal of Woodworking reported.
and added:
"A graduate upturn win start
in March because Of seasonal
Improvements in the big steel
consuming induStries-such as
construction and automaking-
and because customers inven-
tories are approaching rock
bottom"
Last weeks output of 1920
900 net tons of steel for ingots
and castings compared with
1884, 900 tons a year ago. Steel
said. and steelmakers have few
illusions about recouping pro-
auctions lost during the first
two months"
AS a result. the magazine
continued, it is conceded" that
forecasts made in December
that Ill million tons of steel
would be produced in 1858 were
a little too optimistic.
Last week saw a 50-cent drop
in Steel's composite price on
No. heavy melting grade
scrap to $37.17 a gross ton.
This reversed steady climb in
scrap prices over recent weeks

Sharp Increase
In Inventories
Of Autos Is Seen

DETROIT, Feb. "a (R.-The
auto industry faces a severe
and protracted adjustment in
its factory operations, says
Wards Automotive Reports.
The agency says sales are
continuing to decline with a
consequent increase in dealer
inventories. 1t continues:
THE new car stockpile will
be pushing towards the 900, O00-
unit level by February %.
Taken at the prevailing selling
rate. that's equivalent to SO
days supply-the highest point
ever reached in automotive his
tory.
This means that at the
present rate of sales the auto
industry could stop shipping
cars to Its dealers for nearly
three months and still be able
to meet public demand.

The Sentinel's rediscovery last

marked the first lot in Rockville,

terest in what should be done
with the stone.
Milton Million, acting city
manager of Rockville, said the
city would consider taking part
in plans agreed upon by owners
of the land where the stone was
found.
lhe stone was found in
some weeds on "a parking lot
which is on the property
owned by the estate of the

who died last December.

Postmaster said this week that
bids h ave been advertised
among merchants at the new Con-
gressional Airport Shopping Cen

The station, located in one of
the stores, would enable patrons
to buy stamps and money orders
and mail parcels and letters. No
incoming mail will be handled at
the station.
Bids will be opened August ID,
Hassell said. He added that bids
usually range upwards from 81,
since location of a postoffice in

stone until the OAR can meet
and decide if it wants to put a
plaque on the stone.
In any case, Mrs. Bowman
said, the OAR strongly urges
that the stone be returned to its
original place.
An amateur historian, Mrs.
Bowman has seen mention of the
Rockville stone several times
while she searched old records in
Annapolis.
Earlier, Million had suggested
the stone might be preserved by
cementing it in the wall of a pro-
posed 100000 auditorium to be
built at the Rockville Civic Cen
ter. Mrs. Bowman, however,
said she disapproved of that
idea.

heirs of Mr.. VinSon would like to

resting place.
The stone. bearing the initials
"BR," for Beginning Rockville,
was sunk half into the ground
by surveyor who laid out the
original city of Rockville in 1903.
Bouic also said that the heirs
would agree to having an iden-
tifying plaque fixed to the stone.

come interested in the stone.

He contrasted the ''leash" the
United States holds on Ma
tlonalist China with the public
push the Soviet Union is giving
to Red Chinese aggressive pro-
nouncements.
Secretary Dulles remarked
pointedly that following the
American Nationalist Chinese
"a greeme emit of 1865 which
pledged Joint action in the For
mosa area, "there has oeen no
aggressive or offensive use of
force by the United States or
by the Republic of China
against Communist China"
He noted the contrast with
the Soviet-Red Chinese rela-
tionship, where Moscow is "aid-
ing and abetting" the Chinese
Communists in an attempt TO
conquer territory.
Mr.. Dulles was scheduled to
remain in New York today and
