...Between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 additional tons could be produced this year by just utilizing the full 91,00,000-ton capacity revealed by last year's Gano Dunn steel report and recognized by both the steel industry and the Government. Production last week was at the rate of 88,200,000 tons, but WPB's Bill Batt is only hopeful that the year's total "may go as high as 85,000,000 tons...

The Gano Dunn report allowed 8,100,000, but the rush for capacity after Pearl Harbor made 15,000,000 tons a more likely 1942 figure, until after the curtailment of plant expansion announced by WPB April 25. This is by far the biggest single item in current steel demand. If completed, the 10,000,000-ton expansion of the steel industry itself would have used 4,160,000 ingot tons...

...most unexpected shortage was steel, since the U.S. owned 45% of the world's steel capacity. In February Engineer Gano Dunn estimated defense steel needs for 1942 (including export) at 18,984,000 tons. Seven months later Donald Nelson estimated the same demand as 35,000,000 tons. Meanwhile steel expansion had been authorized to the extent of 10,000,000 tons. Yet when 600 steelmen came to Washington in November, OPM's Arthur Whiteside estimated their 1942 production at only 82,600,000 tons-200,000 tons less than output in 1941. For by then...
