3 Firms Plan Steel Mill
For Turkeys Seq Coast

Three American firms plan
a steel mill in Turkey to cost
between $1s5 and 5000 million
Negotiations on the Specifica-
tionS are being carried out by
Westinghouse Electric Interna-
tional Corp, the Blaw-Knox
Co., and the Koppers Co.
1t will be located at Eregli
on Turkeys Black Sea coast,
and is to be financed with both
Turkish and foreign private
capital including investment by
American firms.

The plant is to be built In
three to five years, and will
have an initial output of 100,-
900 tons of ingotS and 26S, 900
tons of fiat steel. The output
is to be increased in three
stages, first to 10000 tons of
ingots and 100000 tons Of fiat
products, then to one million
tons of fiat products.

have been good.
But Ireland, which prospered
from its neutrality in World
War II. is finding that its
agricultural products are being
crowded out not only of the
British market but also the
European Common Market.
Fortunately, the United States
has bought increasing quanti-
ties of frozen Irish beef.
Production Expands
The country therefore at
tachs great hope to its expand
ing industrial empire. Produc-
ton continued to expand late
this year in response to a firm
consumer demand.
The output of peat reached
a record high and dry weather
was a boon to housing con-
struction. Production in the
fields of copper concentrates,
metal trades, sugar refining
and motor vehicles increased,
and a new oil refinery was
opened to full production.
The Government has also
taken several steps to stimu-
late investment. legislation was
introduced to expand the capi-
tai resources of many Govern
ment companies including air,
shipping and credit concerns.
Additional money was also
made available for more hous-

A $40 annual tax on auto
mobiles was suggested last
night as one way to pay for
proposed solutions to the Met
ropolitan Areas transportation
problems.
Robert A. Keith, director OF
a four-year mass transporta-
ton survey due for release next
month, said the $40 fee is one
of several suggestions his sur
vey will make for financing the
recommended SIS billion trans
portation program.
An alternative, he said, would
be to increase the tax on gas
oline by 2 cents a gallon.
The study, costing over 81
million, proposes a system of
freeways, express buses and
rapid rail transportation.
Mr. Keith sketched an out
line of the surveys recomrnen-
dations at a meeting of the In
terfederation Council of Citi-
zens Associations in the District
Building.
He said the study will recon-
mend a rapid transit system
combining express buses and
electric rail cars to join the
suburbs with downtown WASH
ington.
New freeways and other
highways are expected to ham
die the remaining traffic which
the planners predict will triple
by 1880.
Most Of the new highways,

posed and the money pro-
vided. Were not really add

Mrs. June Goldback said a
shark attacked her while she
swan at the beach Saturday.
She suffered scratches on her
foot, hand and thigh.
Beach residents scoffed at the
shark story, but Bob Robinson
of Muncie. Ind, had another
story to tell. He said he saw
the 37-year-old Milwaukee,
Wis, woman struggling in the
water and the fish swan away.
II actually believe she would
have been pulled under" he
said, IF her mother hadn't
come to the rescue"
Mrs. Clara Winkler, about so.
also of Milwaukee, was with
her daughter at the time. She
grabbed Mrs. Goldback's hand
and helped pull her to safety.
"She had three small bar
nacle scratches" said Ed Whit

many Of them in my So years

mistaken"
The physician who treated
Mrs. Goldback said he told her
at the time the scratches prob
ably had been caused by bar
nacleS."
Two men fishing from a boat
caught two 4-foot sharks about
400 feet from the spot at which
Mrs. Goldback was swimming.
Their catch was made a few
minutes after the attack was
supposed to have occurred.

A Congressman who plays an

Department today Of grossly
exaggerating the Russian eco

uncommitted in the East-West
cold war.
Representative Passman
Democrat of Louisiana, de-
clared that Soviet loans abroad
since 1854 amount to only $40C
million. not the $2.4 billion
mentioned by the State De-
partment.
The State Department de-
rived its inflated figure by
using the official exchange rate
Iof four ruhles to the dollar
when "a to | is q more real
istic rate, he said.
Quotes Exchange Firm
He quoted the Perrera CO
in New York, a Arm which
deals in foreign exchange
every day." as estimating the
dollars worth at between 25
and so ruhies.
Thus Congressman Passnaar
argues that the Soviet threat
over the period since 1854 Ii
six to IL times less than the
State Department makes out
He bases his assertions on q
private analysis of the ofiicial
American figures.
The Soviets are really lend
ing only 500 million or less

the United States is spending
about 6 billion a year. "a ratio
of so to ! for the United

has turned them down fiat. they
say.
Apparently the Pankow gov
eminent told them, in effect. to
60 to West Germany, which
after all insists it Is the only
legitimate government of the
German people.
Impossible TO Appeal
But from Communist Poland,
where these women live. it is
impossible to appeal to the West
German government. The two
nations have no diplomatic re-
lations.
When an American group
headed by Magazine Editor
Norman Cousins, brought the
women to the United States
last December. however, the
women quickly got in touch
with the West German EN-
bassy in Washington. Mr..
Cousins acted as their inter-
mediary.
The West German Embassy
here is acutely embarrassed by
this reminder Of the Nazi past,
which it has been doing such
a good job of living down.
German oficials wanted to
help.
Not Recognized
But West Germany could
not, on the usual government
to-government basis, because
Communist Poland is not rec
ognized by the West German
government.
So embassy officials worked
out a special arrangement to
treat the 30 women as indi-
viduals, not connected with the
Red Polish government.
Through Mr.. Cousins, the
German Embassy offered to
pay for each woman's medical
care while in the United States
under the rehabilitation pro-
gram mapped out by the Cou-
sins Committee. The money
was to be paid to the commit
tee. not to the Polish women.
But the "lapins" informed
