Auto Makers
Called Key 10
Steel Upturn

CLEVELAND, Sept. II (AP),
Auto makers hold the key to
an October upturn in the Ma
tion's steel industry, the maga-
zine Steel said yesterday.
Mills that specialize in flat
rolled products need increased
orders for hot and cold-rolled
sheets from automotive GUS
toners to offset seasonal de-
clines in demand for tin plate
and galvanized Sheets" the pub
lication said.
The weekly steel orders for
October are running slightly
ahead of the pace of September
bookings a month ago, but
there has been little change
in the volume of automotive
tonnage.
Ford and Chrysler may COM
plete their steel inventory ad-
justments by the end of this
month, but General Motors
Corp. isn't expected to do so
before November" the maga-
zine continued. Until GIN re-
sumes buying, the order up
trend will be modest"
Ingot production this week
will be slightly higher than the
100000 tons that Steel esti-
mated the industry poured last
week.
Woodworking prices probably
will continue steady for the
next three to- six months, Steel
reported. The magazine said
many firms are keeping the lid
on prices because of competitive
pressures and the fear Of Gov
erment retaliation.

The company's William S.

market in Canada last March.

MER-29, an anti-cholesterol
drug. a month later from
United States sales when ad-
verse side effects showed up.
The firm had made thalido-
uiide under license from the
drugs developers in Germany.
In a footnote to its earnings
statement, the drug maker said
it is unable to predict the
outcome" of the claims and
lawsuits. But it added it car
ries substantial liability insur-
ance and believed losses. if
any, would not have q ma

We are not going to devalue

a killing.
We are not going to, stoop
to notice the dollar-baiting talk
in countries which are free and
prosperous today only because
we have given and lent them
our dollars so generously.
We are not going to be pushed

lection win go on until no

ton among the free worlds fl
nanciers to defend the dollar
and conserve the United States

techniques also is nothing short
of magnificent.
The dollar is the pivot of the
free worlds currencies and

no other currency could do the
Job. No other nation puts alb
solutely no controls over cur
rency movements; you can take
any amount Of dollars you have
wherever you wish. No other
nation says to any foreign bor-
rover that he may enter our
markets and borrow as much
as our investors are willing to
lend at a cost set by a free
market. No other nation runs

The trade experts explain it by
pointing out that year-end holiday
business depends not only on the
buying of seminecessaries like a
yodeling computer or toy dachs-
hund with concertina action. It de-
pends also on the buying of good
warm winter clothing, and though
the kind of weather that calls for
this is scheduled in plenty, it is due
later in the year.
In the United States the overall
reports seem encouraging not so
much from the point of view of the
holiday sales but as regards the
general position of consumers. They
are consuming more and able to
pay for it. So, if the cash registers
are tinkling less merrily than in
some other Yuletide, the wishes for
a prosperous New Year may be
even better founded than usual.

The Holiday Business Indicator

"I'm dreaming of a cold Christ
mas" Such, without music by Irv-
ing Berlin, or with it if you like it
that way, is the song of the mer-
chant community as the Christmas
shopping season approaches each
year. Whatever you may think of
the weather in your region so far, it
hasn't been conducive to the holi-
day upswing in business.
The man who has tried to reach
the tie counter through a hard
packed, six-foot-deep wall Of
women may well ask what, then, is
going on? The wife who has spent
a harder day in the shopping aisles
than ever a husband did at the
Office may be surprised at the news.
But the news is, nevertheless, that
the holiday buying is not up to
expectations (meaning the busi-
ness tycoon's rather than Junior's).

Involved in The problem is the

jected to hidden features in this
document, which is not yet being
discussed publicly. But well in
formed sources say it would ac-
tually tend to weaken the central

sures from all the provinces.
These pressures, and the shaky
financial position of the Adoula
government, plus the possibility
that funds for the UN operation in

Congo-Last Turn In The Road

The probably decisive turn in the
road toward Congo unity appears
to. have been taken in a communi-
que which President Kennedy and

in Washington. This associates the
United States and Belgian Govern
ments in the heaviest pressure yet
applied to Katanga to unite with

this means to the separatist leader
of Katanga, Noise Tshombe, is that
Washington and Brussels have now

per mining company which sup
plies most of Katanga's revenues.
