Bethlehem Defends Price Hike Sparks Administration Debate
Washington (UPI) The Johnson administration weighed options after Bethlehem Steel announced a $5 ton rise on structural shapes and piling steel. Officials warned other major firms to avoid matching the hike as President Johnson urged Bethlehem to reconsider in light of Viet Nam sacrifices and inflation fears. Bethlehem stood by the increase claiming it is not inflationary, while the administration eyed structural steel use and possible stockpile actions to prompt a rollback if needed. Brewster County Texas, the state's largest, spans 6,208 square miles, larger than Connecticut and Rhode Island combined.
