...cannot believe your staff would have intentionally permitted a completely unfounded slap at the Kansas City Star in the story on Primitive Garcia [Dec. 8]. The story says, "Though both Kansas City newspapers virtually ignored the affair. . ." and then proceeds to give two women the credit for stirring public attention and contributions.

Now that orders are finally picking up, the steelmen claim that the increase in business is too little, too late, and based on artificial conditions rather than on an upsurge in the economy. They credit the rise to the fact that automakers and other major steel users are stockpiling with an eye towards next summer, when the United Steelworkers are threatening to strike. Another major cause of friction between the industry and Washington is the Administration's refusal to levy higher duties on imports...
