STEEL BLAMED
Purchasers
Report Rise
In Prices
BY DON BACON
Star Staff Writer

Increases in the price of
certain basic steel products last
month Immediately began to
touch off higher prices in a
variety of other areas, the Ma
tional Association Of Purchas-
ing Agents says.
In its monthly survey, re-
leased yesterday, the associa-
ton said q chain reaction is
developing In commodity prices
"as steel-related items and
others not-so-related attempt
to ride in on the coattails of
the steel hike"
The purchasing agents, who
are responsible for buying the
supplies needed by manufac-
turing companies, reported that
since March prices have gone
up on such items as carbon
steel, steel scrap. ferrochromes,
aluminium, silver, transformers
and sugar.
These increases have been
somewhat offset, they added,
by lower prices on such COM
modities as stainless steel, fuel
oil, burlap, polystyrene and
some basic chemicals.
The purchasers Business
Survey Committee, which is
Ipolled by the association each
month. said 81 per cent Of its
members started paying higher
prices in April for certain COM
modities. This is the highest
percentage reporting increases
since March, 1862, and tn e
sharpest one-month climb since
September. 1882" the associa-
ton said.
The NAPA said its overall
survey indicates substantially
improved" business conditions
IN April.
Some Al per cent Of purchas-
ing agents polled stated they
were ordering more goods In
April than in the previous
month. This Is the sharpest
increase and the largest num-
ber so noting since fall, 1861, /"
the NAPA said.

vigorous pace would suggest
that something beyond this and
the normal spring pickup is
also present"

The price of sugar has shot
right through the ceiling. And,
as far as industrial users are
concerned, the White House de-
serves the blame.
Two weeks ago sugar cost
so much that food professors
and soda pop bottlers, who
consume 10 per cent of 1t, were
holding worried meetings and
wondering what could be done.
On April %, the world spot
price for raw sugar was $40
per hundred pounds. BY May
/, only seven trading days later,
it had scared to $3.50 per hun
dred pounds, the highest in 43
years.
Price Rising In Stores
Except for the cane and sugar
beet growers, nobody seems to
be happy.
Housewives have seen the
price for a 10-pound bag Of
sugar go up 20 cents or more
since February.
A member of the Industrial
Sugar Users Group, composed
of trade associations interested
in sugar. said that the latest
round of price increases "has
made a lot of our members
panicky."
Responsibility for the situa-
ton is being attached to the
Kennedy administration. Last
year the White House and the
Department Of Agriculture
fought long and hard, and fl
nally won, major amendments
to the Sugar Act. The 1862 Act
for the first time In the 30
year history of United States
sugar legislation, tied the
United States price directly tc
the world price. The admins
tration assumed that the worlc
price in the foreseeable future
would he lower than the United
States price. But they got
caught. For q number of rea.
sons, the world price has beer
rising fast.
But sugar users point out
that world supplies have beer
tight before and that the pinch
didn't bother the United States

American growers were COM

USERS NOT SO SWEET
Kennedy Blamed
For Sugar Price

estimate is that we will de-
your 9.8 million tons.
OF that amount, our own
cane sugar and beet sugar pro-
ducers furnish about 8 million
tons and our friends in the
Philippines, another million.
Rest From World Market
That leaves approximately
2.8 million tons which we will
buy on the world market. OF
this, the new law assigns
quotas totaling 1.2 million tons
to more than a score of for
eign countries, including many
of our Latin American neigh
bors. The remaining 1.6 mil
lion tons is q quota reserved
for Cuba, when, according to
last years Conference Report
on the Sugar Act, that nation
again becomes free and inde-
pendent. Meanwhile, the act
provides that this sugar be pur-
chased on a "global quota"
basis with full recapture Of
the difference between the
world price and the United
States price"
The "recapture" device,
which is in addition to the
621a-cent duty on imported
raw sugar, is in the form of
an import fee to be paid by
anyone importing sugar into
the United States. The amount
Of the fee is set by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture and 1t
varies according to the differ
ence between the world spot
price and the United States
price.
Today. with the world price
higher than the United States
price, the import fee Is zero.
When 1t comes to lowering
prices, the device has no util-
ity.
Members Of the Industrial
Sugar Users Group, sugar re-
finers and other interests have
been taking q look at q va
riety Of alternatives which
might bring the price down.
Here are a few:
o Suspend all trading In sugar
futures for one year.
. Suspend all import quotas.
. Suspend the 621a cent duty
on sugar.
o Suspend the scent per
pound processing tax on sugar
"a tax which is supposed to
help defray the costs Of the
program).
o Get the Secretary Of Agri-
culture to increase the con-
sumption estimate under the
Sugar Act, say to 10.4 million
tons.
. Have the Commodity Credit
Corporation purchase some
sugar and resell it at a lower
price. with Uncle Sam bearing
!, the difference.
