All displays will be open for Inspection at noon Saturday, with demonstrations tentatively scheduled to start at 2 p.m. Tenny Moore, fire control of ficer with the Rogue River Na tional forest, said the local of- Steel Industry Strike Expected, Magazine Claims New York J.R) The odds now favor a strike in the na tion's giant steel industry, Iron Age magazine said today. The metalworking authority placed the odds favoring a walk out at 55-45. It said labor will have to slash the "outlandishly high" demands it is expected to take to the bargaining tables if a strike is to be avoided. Iron Age said the key to peace ful settlement of coming nego tiations may lie between a 17 cent and 20-cent hourly package boost for labor. Would Hit Users Hard The trade paper estimated a two-week strike would "hit hard at more than 50 per cent" of the nation's steel users. Except for automotive, steel-using indus tries are rolling along at a strong pace," ' the publication aid. It noted estimates that freight car builders alone will need 3,000,000 ingot tons "to make a dent in order backlogs and car repair programs." Meanwhile, Iron Age said, auto companies have been hold ing off on new orders for July and August. They apparently plan to "live largely off inven tories until new models go into production." It termed the action "a gam ble that could leave Detroit out on a limb should new car sales show a summer upturn." Stocks 'Fairly Ample' As for supplies, Iron Age de scribed stocks of cold-rolled sheet and strip as "fairly ample" although othei steel shapes are "at the least oat of balance." -It said a current letdown in cold-rolled sheet consumption has been a blessing for users of hot-rolled sheets and light plate. "Mills that several months ago were turning down hot-roll ed sheet orders are out soliciting business now" and "some pro ducers are rolling high plate on sheet and strip mills,' the au thority reported. Scrap prices continue lower but a battle in Washington over exports of scrap is looming, Iron Age said. It described ad ministration sentiment as still favoring "relatively free ex porting."
