> Production Os Steel ‘ Highest In History Last Week's Output Was At Record Level CLEVELAND, O. UP — Steel output last week was at est level in the history of the United States. Steel magazine re-' ported today.' The magazine estimated the weeks production at 2'150,000 net tons, or 103.5 per cent of ratpd capacity. The magazine said indications pointed to still greater output by the end of the year as new units corrie into production. “Increases in. capacity plus lUII operations are making strong headway in pushing supply up into balance with demand.’’ Steal said. “Proof <of this is the growing consciousness among steel consumers. They ary increasingly insistent on placing their steel orders at the nearest mill so that freight cysts can Ute hekf’down.” ' The picture was not all bright, however, Steel said. A shortage of steel last week idled ISO employes of the Erie. Pa., locomotive works of\\General Electric Co., and other reports of 'schedule slow-ups cause of lack of steel were received. ContributiugToTast week's rjc!ord production were increases ip listrict rates, in many areas. The ate rose 1.5 points to 108 per cent n St« Louis. 1.5 to 106 in Buffalo, 0.5 to 1Q2.5 in the far west, two points io 105 in Pittsburgh, one|t<j> 106.5 in Chicago and 1.5 to 108 per cent in Detroit. : .

Colleges Surprised By Big Enrollment Schools Expected Enrollment Losses By UNITED PRESS 1 The Ration’s colleges and universities, expecting lower enrollment, caught by surprise this fall when campus registrations increased instead, a spot check showed today. ' \ , College registrars, attributed the increase, which set records at some schools, to various factors. These included the return of Korean war veterans under the new GI bill of rights, arid ROTC programs which allow youngsters of draft age to complete college before going into the service. , Paul Trump of the University of Wisconsin admissions office said that “the draft bill works both ways —boys enroll because they aren’t drafted and others Come because they hope to gef deferred.” Indiana University officials attributed the trend to the increased birth rate in 1934. when many of the youngsters qow entering college were born. Increased enrollment ranged up to almost 50 per cent in freshman Classes. r The increase came as a surprise io many schools. Registrar C. E. Uammon of Purdue termed it a thing.” ' President George D. Stoddard of sie University of Illinois said that 4 few months ago he was troubled qecause coeds made up such a small part of the total enrollment. ■ He had a committee develop a piogram especially for women, and ;jiey enrolled this fall in such numbers- that they overflowed dormitories.

Jenner In Battle bf Political Life Republican Leaders Concerned Oh Jenner INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. \ UHI rSen. William’: E Jenner, oiw Republican party’s severest critics of President'Truman, is fighting the battle of his political life for a second full term. His Democratic rival Is Gov. Henry F. Schricker/69, tagged <by his party’s leaders as “the most popular political figure Hoosier Democrats ever had.” Schricker entered politics tn the first Roosevelt administration. ' Jenner fcas been in the since 1945 when at \37 he’ was elected to a short term while aty air force captain. They baVe never met on the i ballot-box battlefield. But Schricker and Jeipex clashed last year in the famous Indiana fight with the federal fovernment public welfare secrecy. The tight ended When Jenner thrust through congress a law repealing the secrecy provision. Schricker had urged the legislature to repear its law lifting secrecy. ! ,X

The senatorial race pushed into the background gubernatorial fight betweep Republican George N. Craig, past national commander of the American Legion, and Democrat Lt. Gaffl John A. Watkins, a newspaper publisher. Jenner, now 44, who has not lost an election in ,18 years, attacks President Truman and secretary of stat Deap Acheson with strong words as he <jam>paigns. He seldom mentions Schricker. Although he was a stalwart of Sen. Robert Taft’s faction beforb the GOP convention nominated Dwight Eisenhower,. Jenner has plumped vigorously for and solicited suport of the retired -general. Eisenhower endorsed Jenner in an Indianapolis speech without. mentioning h|m -by name. Eisenhower defended Genl. George C. Marshall, who Jenner once described as “a front man for traitors . a living lie.” I \ Schricker is Indiana's only twoterm governor. He lost a senate race to Homer >E. Capehart in 1944. Schricker preifers speaking to small groups, saying crowds at v big rallies are going to {Vote for you anyway. He always talks “off the cuff.” The white-haired, white hatted Schricker haa- said often he will back the next President regardless of his political campaigns largely on his own promises of what he’ll do in Washington, not on the record of present and past administration. Only oriice have the Schricker and Jenner paths crossed this campaignSchricker spoke at a barbecue in a town where Jenner was speaking indoors. Schricker drew more listeners, but Republicans said the barbecue had something >to do with it. ' > ■ Nevertheless, the GOP wag reported concerned about Jenner’s strength. They organized a “Bill Jenner Day” Campaign, scheduling as speakers i'l senate colleagues this week including Taft. Karl Mundt S. I> t . Everett Dirksen 111., and Homer Ferguson Mich.

McKinney Predicts Schricker Victory' INDIANAPOLIS, UP — Governor Schricker is a ’’cinch” to defeat Sen. William ,E, Jenner, RInd., who seeks re-election next month former Democratic national chairman Frank E. McKinney predicts. The Indianapolis banker concedes the rest of the party’s state ticket “will have a much- closer race.” But Schricker, h& Bays, will run. “between 75,000 and 100,000 1 ahead of the ticket.” ' Reveal 42 Percent Os Men Rejected Selective Service Leaders Surprised WASHINGTON, UP — Fortytwo percent of the young men called up by draft boards during the Korean war have been found unfit for military service. ' Selective service records show that 1,128.00(1 youths have been rejected for physical, mental or mor‘ al reasons out of j the 2,700,000 ordered to report for induction since August. 1950. I That is a rejection rate of nearly 42 percent. During World War 11, when physical standards were about the same as they are no«\ the rejection rate was on|y 36 cent. Selective officials said they were “surprised” by their own figures.' They had expected rejection rate to be lower, because Korean draftees have been token mainly from the supposedlyhealthy 19 through $5 age group, while World War II draftees included many older men. V A spokesman for the army surgeon general’s office offered one possible explanation. The first men called up after the start of the Korean war were those closest to their draft-proof 26th birthdays. Many of these same men had previously been screened for military duty in World War 11. and either deferred or rejected. The spokesman said he | expects the rejection rate to decline as processing of older registrants' is completed. In apparent confirmaselective service officials said the rejection rate has fallen off recently. This spokesman also conceded that while physical standards were the slme in both cases, they may have been administered a little more strictly during the Korean He said military medical men could riot say whether the general health of the nation’s young men is declining.
