Delay Is Seen
In RecoVerYof
Steel Output

NEW YORK, Aug. 29 CAP).-
Any sizable recovery in steel
production may be delayed
until November, the Iron Age
said today.
The Woodworking trade pub
lication predicted that as the
situation stands now September
output will show only a modest
improvement over August.
Iron Age said the chief rea-
son for the delay in expected
pickup Of steel orders is the
slow startup of automobile
production. Output of cars in
recent weeks has been the slow
est in postwar years.
AutomakeTS also continue to
use up steel from sizable
stocks on hand. Iron Age said
this process will continue for
the balance of the year re-
gardleSs of how high car pro-
duction climbs.
For example, the publication
said, despite record output of
cars and trucks by General
Motors. the company's steel
intake in the first seven months
Of the year was up nearly Is
per cent more than the in
crease in production.
Suggested as another posi-
bility for the slow pickup in
automobile production was that
automakers are trying tc
smooth out peaks and valleys
of production because of the
high costs Of supplemental un.
employment benefits.

the interest must be paid has
risen. The reason lies in the
rise in interest rates. meaning
it costs the Treasury much
more to borrow and to refi-
nance the outstanding debt.
The total debt is not much
larger than it was in 1896
But the cost Of carrying this
not-much-D bigger debt has al
most doubled - from s5.3 bill
lion to S9.5-Sl0 billion a year
now. The rise in interest rates
began in the closing days of
the Truman administration.
continued through the Eiseu-
hover administration, is still
continuing.
But when placed against
our national wealth - which
measures our ability to carry
the load - even this increase
SnTlnRs. Inc ratio OF interest
charges on the debt to GNP
rose from l per cent in 1899
to % per cent in 1916, is now
down to around l.6 per cent.
AS long as the economy's S
growth holds up. the interest
load won't be tough to man
age.
Perhaps these appraisals will
help many people to place the
debt in perspective. We're
going to have to live with this
debt and a bigger one too for
an indefinite period, so We
might as we'll understand it.
