“IT WOULD have increased steel production] between three million and five million tons,” Mr. Miller said. ’ “Well, would it have solved the steel short-| age?” Sen. Wherry insisted. “It would have helped an awful lot,” Mr, Miller testified. ’ The testimony indicated that the U. 8.

Wherry, was a good thing, and | how much scrap did the British send to Italy? | “None,” replied Mr. Millet, * The experts and the Senators then got to talk ing about the incredible Canterbury Corp., estab: lished by two veterans and a rich Belgian, which bought 140,000 tons of U. B.

' Bathtubs, of course, are made of sheet steel With white stuff glued on. There's a critical shortage of steel, partly because of an even more serius shortage of scrap iron.
