Scrap Shortage Warns of Steel Crisis, Frederick Reportedly
Frederick Md June 27 P Ed win OC Barringer president Scrap Iron and Steel Institute of America warned at an Army conservation conference that high grade scrap supply is dangerously low. He said inventories fell 400000 tons in four months and only about 11 weeks of scrap remained, risking major steel production if war ends late next year. He noted scrap will supply half steel, a third copper, and a sixth aluminum this year, and stressed scrap saves manpower and ore. Barringer traced the junk business from the 1840s to 1989, with annual turnover over 1 billion dollars, about half in iron and steel.
