Steel price rise stirs debate amid Carter administration
The week saw steel prices up 6 to 7 percent on flat rolled products used in autos and appliances though no rollback call came from the Carter administration or the wage and price council. Industry leaders cite higher costs while demand remains weak. U S Steel chairman notes uncertainty as firms ship at pre rise prices. Carter taps Georgia banker Thomas Lance as budget director. Copper prices drop on slow demand. Australia and New Zealand devalue to shore up reserves.
