Must Have Steel To Make Cars Reuther Tells Committee
United Automobile Workers president Walter Reuther told the Senate Small Business Committee that steel shortages threaten auto production. He cited 115,000 auto workers in Flint and Detroit idle, blamed high prices on cold rolled steel, and said plants still use 1941 dies, with autos costing far more today. He argued steel purchases cost industry millions and hit consumers through dealer lists.
