SOUTHERN OREGON MINER. Ashland. Oregon II S. Steel Reports 1942 ProductiM 28 Per Cent Greeter Then World Wer I Peek United State* Steel Corporation'* An­ nual Report for 1942. reporting attain­ ment of a steel Ingot tonnage production 28 per cent greater Ulan tn the peak year ot World War 1, ha* just been released as "a production story—and a financial story—of a great war effort.“ Production by U S. Steel tn 1943 ot more than 30.0W.0O0 net Um* ot ingot* a* well aa the manufacture of a steady flow of products entering into thou­ sands of items used tn pi osecuttng the war were described by Irving S. Old*. Chairman of the Board »1 Directors, tn his review ot the year contained in the Corporation'* forty-first annual report. The victory parade of steel ingots wa* listed as only one of several principal contributions of U. S Steel to the war effort These contribution* were enu­ merated as follows: "First, a record vol­ ume of steel and other materials needed not only for the fabrication ot essential war products but also for the creation of new facilities to make such war products has been produced Second, the technical ability representing mane decades ot accumulated research and experience ha* been made available for the requirements of the Government Third, the construction and operation ot vast new facilities tor the Govern­ ment tn connection with the war effort have been undertaken. Fourth, million* of dollars of U. S. Steel's funds have been expended for various faciliUea contributory to the war effort." A oue-page condensation of the financial record of the Corporation for the year describe* in simple language what disposition was made of the 81.865.951.692 received by the Corpora­ tion from sales ot Its products and ser­ vices during 1942 Employment cost* of 8783 million in 1942 were 25» greater than for the previous year; 1942 taxes of 8204 million were 21‘» more than in the preceding year; while dividends to stockholders remained unchanged. " he amount carried forward for future needs of the Corporation was 78% less than tn 1941. Among achievements cited Is the de­ velopment of the airplane landing mat. The serious problem of handling plane landings on hastily built air fields was solved with the war-time invention by Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation, a U. S. Steel subsidiary, of a landing mat, consisting of portable Interlocking steel sections. It was pronounced the out­ standing development of the year in the field of aviation by the Chief of the Army Air Force. As mass production methods were evolved, other companies were licensed to use the process, and thirty smaller manufacturers are now producing these landing mat sections In quantity The report reveals that In 1942 one subsidiary. Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, completed mor* destroyers for the Navy Department tn shorter building time than any other shipyard in the country. A new ship­ yard built by this subsidiary for the Navy Department began operations five months after ground was broken. A fully equipped shipyard for the produc­ tion of the latest type of tank landing craft w„s constructed and is being operated for the Navy Department by American Bridge Company, another subsidiary. An interest' comparison of the use of U. S. Steel a own resources and of Government funds for the expansion of emergency facilities undertaken by U. S. Steel from June. 1940. to the end of 1942. shows that the ratio of U. S. Steel's investment to the use of Gov­ ernment funds was 65c of its own money to every dollar of Government funds used. This compares with a ratio for all Industry of 27c of private funds to one dollar of Government fund* In this expansion program. U. S. Steel’s private Investment was S282.000.000. aa compared with S436.000.000 of Govern­ ment funds expended, making a total ot 8718.000,000 expended in th* program.— Adv. ^^mARíHBPnKs • ‘/KATHLEEN NORRIS • vwwwvvvvvvvvv ||rn SINK A lvlE.r SUB?
