Steel in Dilemma
Over Price Boost

The aluminium automobile en-
gine. to take one example. is
no longer a curiosity. Plastics
and concrete are being substi-
tuted in some fields.
Foreign Imports
Nor can imports of steel be
ignored. AS much as 4 million
tons may come into the United
States this year. That's just a
fraction of the United States
output of more than lis mil
lion tons, but it hurts, espe-
cially now when auto manu-
facturerS still have plenty OF
foreign steel on hand and on
order.
BY the fourth quarter, things
should be turning up. But
whether the improvement will
be enough to justify a price in
crease is doubtful.
If a Democratic administra-
ton is elected in November,
the steel industry may wonder
whether it will feel even more
pressure than it did from Vice
President Nixon to reach ac-
commodations with labor.
Another intangible in the
situation is public reaction. A
price increase in the face of
sluggish demand might not
only encourage a new Kefauver
investigation, but probably
would be unpopular within the
larger business community.
A new boom is needed to
make everything come out all
right.

BY HOBART ROWEN

North American Newspaper Alliance
In the midst of a generally
prosperous economy. the steel
industry is having a recession
all its own.
Production last week was
down to SO per cent of capacity.
and, according to industry
sources, it may slump to so
per cent before picking up in
late autumn.
Yet. the first faint talk of a
December price increase has
come out of Pittsburgh, and
the reaction in Washington is:
Say it isn't SOL"
Back at the time that Vice
President Nixon and Labor
Secretary James P. Mitchell
settled the steel strike, some
cynics assumed there had been
a secret deal which contem-
plated a price increase at the
end of 1860.
All parties to the negotia-
tions protested. But the peace
treaty signed last January did
schedule the first of two Z
cent-an-hour wage hikes for
December. That's just a month
after the presidential election.
In New York a few days ago,
R. L. Gray, Armco Steel chair
man, voiced the opinion of
many industry executives when
he said: Il don't. see how we
can avoid a price increase" at
the end of the year.

Production Cost Boosted

But the fact is that the in
duStry'S costs have already
been increased by its new labor
contract: Fringe benefits pro-
vided by the contract cost the
companies just about as much
as the upcoming 7-cent hourly
rate boost.
Yet, there has been no
thought of raising prices now.
Why? Arthur B. Homer, presi-
dent of Bethlehem Steel, gave
the answer at a meeting of
company executives: Market
conditions are unfavorable for
any price change now. We will
have to wait until the end of
the year and see what the stu
alton is then"
Administration officials think
Mr.. Homer tagged the real key
to the situation: Steel may find
it prudent to hold the line,
despite higher labor costs, for
the reason it is meeting tough
competition.
1t used to be easy for the
industry. Steel was cheap, and
there was little danger of los
ing customers by passing along
the full cost of wage increases.
Today, the situation is diff
ferent. Aluminium is making
inroads in markets that steel
formerly claimed as its own.

Renewed Stock Gains

The steels gathered strength
from Wall Street talk to the
effect that inventory positions
of steel customers were down
sharply and that an upturn in
new orders was just around the
corner, Buying of steel shares
also was occasioned by a flash
from a big brokerage house
placing the steels in a "rela-
lively favorable" category in

Cooperation

Gov.-elect Donald Nutter, who DUR
ing the campaign repeatedly stated
his intentions of actively seeking
close harmony between labor, indus
try and agriculture, this week has
received from Montana State ALL
CLIO a letter expressing its willing
ness to cooperate with the new Gov
ernor Sin the best interest of all the
people.
The letter was written by ALL
CIO President James S. TIMBER. In
it he advised Nutter that:
''Now that the election is over and
the voters have selected the political
leadership for the next four years
it is incumbent upon the citizens of
Montana to close ranks and get down
to the business of working together
in the best interest of all the people.
with this in mind, l wish to take
this opportunity to offer to you as
Governor the cooperation of the
officers and members of the Mon
tana State AFL-CIO."

Democrat Leland Schoonover, Pol

to 2,913 votes for Miss Streeter-
the lone woman member of the upper

Schoonover's mailing down the SEN
ate post means that now the Demo-
Gratis hold every Senate seat in Mon
tana's nine northwestern counties of
Lincoln, Flathead, Sanders, Missoula,
Mineral, Powell, Granite, Ravalli and

The Democratic control of Senate
seats in those counties is in contrast

ture. Two years ago the figures were

HEW Survey Shows Study
Cited By ANA Is Phony

WASHINGTON, d. C.-GUD)-
A Department of Health, Education
and Welfare survey has given the lie
to American Medical Association
propaganda concerning health care
needs of the nations elders.
The HEW survey found that n
per cent of the nations citizens over
age 65 have chronic ailments. A
phony survey used by the ANA to
defeat Forand-type legislation in the
seth Congress alleged that the ma
TONS elders were, on the whole, in
good health, that they can afford the
medical care they need, and that
they neither want nor need medical
care plan geared to social security.
The AMA-cited survey was later
proved to be unscientific and limited
to higher bracket whites only. 1t was
found that one of the professors who
directed it was an unpaid consultant
to the ANA. The survey, which
emanated from Georgia's Emory
University, was financed by the Will
liam Volker Fund, which has been
described as conservative" even by
the ANA.
Several sociologists who took part
in the Emory survey without knowing
it's true purpose later repudiated it.
One, Prof. Noel Gist, University of
Missouri, declared that if he had
known the study was to- be used for
political purposes, 81 would not have
it at the outset"
The HEW survey was released at
the beginning of October. Had it
been released earlier, it's findings
could have made big difference in
the medical care fights outcome.

Montana's only state-owned retail
business, it's liquor control system,
in the past fiscal year, continued as
major source of revenue for the
state general fund, with $6,883,504
having been turned into that fund
by the State Liquor Control Board.
In addition, according to the an
nual report of the Montana Liquor
Control Board. there was distributed
to the Sc counties $643,378.87 as
their share of revenue derived from
the handling of liquor in Montana
for that year.
Net income from liquor and beer
taxes and licenses, and system prof
it's, are running neck and neck with
the state individual income tax for
number one producer of government
al revenue. The liquor system, for the
12-month period which ended June
80, distributed little over $7.5 mil
lion to state and county governments.
The individual income tax for the
calendar year 1860 is expected to
bring in an estimated STA million
in tax revenue.
For the biennium past the liquor
control board distributed total of
$14,276,300.13 to state and county
governments. Of that total, $12,-
981, 6O5.39 was turned into the state
general fund. This amounted to APP
proximately 20 per cent of total gen.
eral fund appropriations for the fis-
cal period of July 1, 1858 through
June 80, 1860.
The present liquor board, in pre-
senting it's final annual report to
outgoing Gov. j. Hugo Aronson,
also pointed out that since the
state monopoly system was estab-
lished in 1884, it has had total
net income of SIG, 9,612.35, of
which $112,S71, 541.84 has been
distributed to state and county
governments.
At the present time the control
system has assets valued at $4,216,-
261.35. This is drop of $4,000
as compared with the end of the
fiscal year 1859. These assets are
composed of approximately $35O,0O0

There is no indication, however, that
politics were involved in the time of
release.
The HEW findings were based
upon a survey of $4,000 householders
over two-year period, ending in
June of 1859. 1t showed that persons
in the 65 and over age group go to
the doctor 6.8 times year compared
with five times for those in the as
to Sd age group. It also showed that
about az per cent of those over age
65 would have some degree of chron-
ic activity limitation and that about
10 per cent suffer chronic limitation
to their mobility.
The report showed that 48 per cent
of those elder citizens, with family
incomes of less than $4,000 a year,
had chronic limitations of activity.
In the $1,000 and over income group,
only 81 per cent of those over 66
suffered such limitations.
There is no doubt that the number
of visits made by the over-65 group
to doctors would be far greater we're
the oldsters able to afford it. There
is no doubt also that the nations
elders are being deprived of needed
hospital and other medical care for
this reason.
This is corroborated by study of
the University of Michigan which
showed that elderly residents of that
state had twice the medical care ex-
penses and half the income of young
er families. 1t also showed that about
half the over-65 group has incomes
averaging less than $4,000 and that
a similar percentage has no health
insurance.

State Supf. to Make
40 Recommendations
To 81 Legislature

Supt. of Public Instruction Harriet
Miller yesterday announced that her
biennial report to the Governor and
Legislature will include 40 recon-
mendations for improving education
in Montana.
Recommendations pertain to school
finance, higher education, special
education for handicapped children,
teacher education, the length of the
school day and school year, the needs
of the county superintendent Of
fices, school laws, curriculum de-
velopment and other matters affect
ing schools.
''Many of these recommendations,
if they are to be put into effect, will
require legislative action,"' Miss Mil
Ter said. She stated that, while the
complete report will not be avail
able in printed form for several
weeks, advance copies of the recon-
mendations have been prepared and
will be supplied to any legislator,
groups or individuals who request
them for study purposes.
The State Superintendent said
that the two recommendations most
frequently asked about are those
pertaining to the Foundation Pro-
gram and school consolidation.
"On these matters, my recommen-
dations, briefly, are for adjusted in
creases in the Foundation Program
schedule for schools of different sizes
and levels, to reduce present in
equities, and for encouragement of
consolidation and by pro-
viding incentives for local action"
