DEPRESSION IBS P SAY STEEL MEN NEW YORK, July 30 (AP) United States Steel corporation believes the turning point in its business has been reached and anticipates an upturn during the balance of the year. That was the substance of a brief statement from the finance committee today which accom panied the . econd quarterly statement showing net profit equal to $3.02 a share of common compared to $3.44 in previous quarter and $6-68 a share in the June quarter of 1929 when a peace time record was made. Net income of $32,126,717, a decrease of $3,651,090 from the opening quarter of the year con firmed expectations in financial circles, where the consensus was earnings would approximate $3 a share. The terse statement of the com mittee on the outlook read: "At this date the manufacturing plants are operating 63 per cent f capacity. Indications in the Industry point to an increase in this rate of operations during the balance of this quarter, with an Improvement in volume during the last quarter."

Gehlan, in his check-up made to the the offi cers, says that $591.52 worth of clothing and groceries were stolen.
