Andrews to quit after 90 years in Capitol
HARRISBURG AP Former House Speaker H G Andrews announced plans to vacate the Capitol after 90 years in public life. The 86 year old Johnstown Democrat began as a reporter and then served 12 terms in the House, including as speaker in two eras. He lost re election last fall to Cecil Letherknight and said he would not drag colleagues into partisan quarrels. Andrews once received no pay after leaving his post, while Democrats kept his secretary and chauffeur on the payroll.

Loss of export markets hits steel pay levels
The article notes a shift in the trade balance for steel and mill products from a 1950s $500 million surplus to no surplus in 1961. U.S. steel prices rose 16 percent versus major foreign firms, pressuring profits. Steelmen warn that without profits they cannot modernize or cut costs, risking competitiveness against foreign steels in the U.S. market. Wheeling’s leadership status remains undecided as of Wednesday night.
