Thursday the Small Business Ad
ministration has put off the scltbd
uled effective date next month for
changes in timber sales regula

Steel's Recession Has Top Billing
In Talks Of Business Uncertainty
NEW YORK (AP)-Steel's pri
vate recession has had top billing
in all discussions of this year's
business uncertainties.
It has taken its toll in produc

profits. But its profit bite has
been less deep than many expect
ed, although the slump in orders
has lasted longer than originally
billed and still dashes the hopes
of those who expect it to be over
soon.
And steel's recession also has
pointed up the difference between
the big and little companies when
it comes to making money.
All of the big companies report

and Portland as a city of roses.
In 1959 he served as president

1959 he was a member of the
board of directors of the Portland
Rose Festival Assn., and that same
year was appointed loathe gov

From June of 1958 through 1959
he had 36 articles with pictures
appearing in the Portland news

chairmen of the Fall Rose Show,
and that same year they were co

trophies for his rose exhibits. In
1957 he won the district rose tro

same period last year. With few
exceptions, the smaller com
panies report earnings lagging be
hind their 1959 figures.
Production measured in ton
nage is much more impressive,
too, than when measured in per
centage of capacity. Tonnage, al
though lower than expected at the
start of the vcar. hasn't fallen off
nearly -as much as the idle mills
might indicate.
That is because the great ex
pansion in capacity since World
War II means that even running
at half speed the companies can
turn out more than they once
could at full speed.
Also the newer mills can turn
out more steel than the old ones
in a week-end at. a considerably
lower cost, nonce the ability of
the big st .. companies to use
only their newest facilities and
show a profit when operating at
less than 50 ncr cent of their
total capacity. At the end of

capacity was the commonly used
figure for the break-even point.
Profit comparisons with last
year are thrown out of kilter hv
the crippling strike in the 1959
summer.
But of the 19 itccl companies
reporting so far, eight show in
creased profits in the first nine
months oi i960, iney include six
of the larger and two middle-size
companies. The 11 showing ae-
clines are either small or middle-
