Last year It was 25 per cent. The bloc still produced less than the United States alone in a slow business year. World output of steel in 1958 was 294,437,230 tons, down 8 per cent from 1957. This was die first time since 1954 that the 38 steel

producing nations of the world failed to set a production record. The nine Iron Curtain countries made 83.933,190 tons, up 4,462,190 tons from 1957.

Governor Hopes To Resolve Time Issue Confusing Situation Remains In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Governor Handley indicated during the weekend that he will try to do something to solve Indiana's confused time situation. The 1957 Legislature thought it solved the problem when it enacted a law putting the state on “fast” time for five summer months and on “slow” time for seven winter months. But Indianapolis and populous areas in the northeast part of the state rebelled and kept docks on “fast” time the year around. Handley said Saturday that he will ask the 1959 Legislature to “work out some kind of compromise” to end the confusion. He said failure to follow the law has “upset the economy and had a very bad effect on the daily lives of citizens.” At the same time, Handley took an optimistic look at Indiana’s business future. He said almost as many new Industries moved into the state this year as in 1957, despite a minor recession. The governor said it “is safe to assume” that 1959 will see even more industrial plants moving Into Indiana. He said a 156 millicm dollar 1959 highway program unveiled recently will help boost'the state’s economy and provide jobs as will construction of a 30 million dollar state office building and 3% million dollar Employment Security Division building. Handley also expressed hope that the General Assembly would act favorably on a proposed new penal institution, a pet project of his, and would complete the veterinary school at Purdue. The governor said he would also plug for flood relief for the state and greater control of labor unions. He said the future of the Republican Party in Indiana is at stake in 1959. Handley said the party must recapture Hoosier city administrations next year to lay the groundwork for the 1960 presidential election.
