Richard Thomas & Baldwins, Ltd., Britain's last remaining nationalized steelmaker, is being helped in a period of soft demand by a $2.8 million order that Red China placed last week. West Germany's Howaldt shipyard, which lately has been working below capacity, will be busy until 1966 because last week...
