age Of munitions threatens

Bernard J. Padgett said In the
report.
However. Mathew M. Brai-
dech, an official Of the Ma
tional Board Of Fire Under
termed the storage of
excessive stocks" Of munitions
"a serious fire potential I.
which is capable Of producing
fires Of unmanageable proper
TONS"
Alexandria's current fire pre-
vention code. adopted in l949,
provides for careful handling
Of explosives other than small
arms ammunition. Mr. Hair
sugsester that the council
consider adopting sections Of q
code by the National Fire Pro-
lection Association which reg
ulates the handling Of small
arms ammunition.
The NFPA code includes
q section, entitled "The Ameri-
can Table Of Distances for
Storage Of Explosives" which
sets minimum distances be-
tween ammunition warehouses
and residences.
The present locations Of most
Of the Interarmco warehouses
and nearby homes do not COM
ply with the table Of distances.
II the NFPA code were
adopted. II would radically
limit the amount of munitions
that could be stored and might
result in the removal OF Inter-
armco from the city.
Fire Department inspections
last month showed q total Of
$780, 900 rounds Of ammuni-
ton stored In the warehouses,
the city managers report said.
The report also quoted Richard
Breed. Interarmco vice preh-
dent, as saying: I'm our Alex
andria warehouses alone. we
have more weapons than have
been issued TO all United States
troops now on active duty"

publication said.
Production totaled 300 mil
lion tons in the first quarter.
Steel forecast production Of
23,5 million tons in the second
quarter and % million tons in
the third quarter. Fourth
quarter production may vary
from "a million to % million
tons. depending on business
confidence. demand for con-
sumer durableS, and spending
for capital equipment" the
magazine said.
For the current week, ingot
production will be less than
the 1852 million tons estimated
for last week, Steel reported.
Last weeks output was 1.6 per
cent below the previous weeks.
Scrap prices continued to de-
cline also. Steel's price COM
posite on No. heavy smelling
grade dipped $1.16 gross ton
last week to $25.17.
For steel producers, one of
the few bright spots in an 9TH

able goods. Steel said, noting
that new car sales we're partic-
ularly good in the middle of
