I the U. S. by Bethlehem Announces $18,000,000 Expansion Addition of 850,000 Tons Annually Assured Toward Goal of Program's Peak Due About 1942. PAGE TWO THE NEWARK ADVOCATE AND AMERICAN TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1940 Defense Body Asks More Steel Production Facilities ties Washington, visory commission steel industry facilities for the Bethlehem pansion program Dec. waited today for to accept it invitation defense program.

Steel company announced last night. It will ingot capacity by 850,000 tons. In making public Bethlehem's, proposal, Edward R. Stettinius, head of the commission's raw materials division, revealed that a dispute within commission over the desirability expanding steel production had been settled. He said that in his opinion the mbers of the commission would "look with favor upon the installation of desirable emergency facilities in the steel Stettinius announcement indicated that those advocating new plants had the dispute.

It was assumed that other steel companies engaged in defense work would announce expansion plans soon. President Eugene G. Grace of the Bethlehem Steel company announced details of the new program in New York. The new facilities will produce not only more steel ingots, but an additional 800,000 tons of coke and 700,000 tons of pig iron annually. Construction will be done at the Bethlehem, Lackawanna, Maryland and Steelton plants, Grace said.

The company has filed an application. with the navy departa "certificate of necessity" which would entitle it to a tax deduction for amortization of expansion costs over a five year But the Bethlehem program is a long way from the 20 per cent expansion of the industry desired by government economists. Present steel capacity, according to Stettinius, is 83,000,000 tons per year. A 20 per cent increase would mean addition of facilities to produce 16,000,000 additional tons a year. The Bethlehem program will add only 850,000 tons.

Officials pointed out that even though expansion programs are started immediately, the new plants will not be ready for maximum production for nearly a year. Defense officials do not expect the demands of the defense program to reach a peak until early in 1942.

By RUTH TAYLOR. want to return to her original bland announcement that he is A charming fellow Louis Bromfield last night helped prop men shift sets between scenes of his play, "Here Today, Tomorrow," wandered frequently "out front" to watch the show, and, finally to make his evening complete, dashed on as a news photographer in a photoflash finish of the world premier of his 8-year-old play, which was presented before an enthusiastic audience in the auditorium of John Simpson high school, Mansfield.

The event, which had turned the town upside down in its rush to support the city's fairest-haired boy, also drew big-timers from all along the Rialto, with prominent news service men, Hollywood scouts and Life magazine photographers included in the rally. "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow," written in collaboration with Mr. Bromfield's secretary, George Hawkins, was cast from the Mansfield community players. It went over with all the bang of a hilarious tongue-in-cheek comedy. A snorting take-off on the traditional of the man who leaves the country for the city in order to return to the country, the plot involved the meanderings of a hash-slinging lovely whose misadventures- and success--with a gentleman whose chief failing was his choice of a lion tamer's uniform training seals.

Its Future Questioned, Chuckling over the show during a press party held later, the author admitted that he has no idea of what will happen to it next, after it is presented in Lucas tomorrow night. The play, he said, was written in 1932, and had only been dusted off because the Mansfield players requested a Bromfield opus, because there was a custom-built part in it for one of his friendsbuxom Mrs.

Rhea Bauer, a farm woman who lives near him, and because he wanted to do something for little Lucas, the home of farmers, he loves. Mrs. Bauer, incidentally, acquitted herself with savoir vivre of a Marie Dressler, rapidly pulling the audience off its hands via her raw-boned interpretation of an ex-trapeze artist with whiskey inclinations. Relaxed and resting, Mr. Bromfield shed not a particle of his prodigious vitality as stretched out his long legs and beheld his press party.

Work! Work! Work! "Work! Work! Work!" he grinned happily. "That's all I do -all I want to do." (And he does. Twelve hours a day, writing, farming, working on 11 national committees, sloughing off agents, buzzing out Hollywood.) "The novel is my medium," he continued, serious, frowning on drama because its success hinges too heavily on the contributions of too many other people. Of his books, he said, he prefers "The Green Bay "The Rains Came" and "The Farm." He has just completed a historical novel set in New Orleans, and has six new novels already lined up. The writing is done in longhand, Mr.

Bromfield went on, pulling out a black fountain pen from his gray chalk striped suit. "This is it," smiled, fondling the pen. "I don't ever use a typewriter because the mechanics of it make back-tracking too difficult." Reverting frequently to his great love--his Lucas farm- -he mentioned his galaxy of crops and produce, rattling them off to a corn, pigs silos with a deand mixing talk of vell scription of art work in the new farm house.

and Mrs. Bromfield also have three children of their own.) With that to go on--fatherhood in triplicate- and weighted by the sudden realization of his numerous responsibilities, the author then refused a package of cigarets proffered by an itinerant cigaret girl, "compliments of the host." "But you ARE the host, he was reminded. "In that case," said Mr. Bromfield, after careful thought, "I believe I'll have one." (He'll get three.) Lid Clamped On Rumanian Oil of the Nazi Luftwaffe.

Athens dispatches said that Greek shock troops battled their way to the outskirts of Porto Edda, on the Adriatic sea, and that crushing new defeats were inflicted on retreating Fascist columns along the 100-mile mountain front. Greek reports said the capture of both Porto Edda and Argirocastro, Italy's last big war base in southern Albania, might be expected at any moment. Italian resistance was described as collapsing in the sector, which serves as the "hinge" of a long wheeling movement by Greek armies which have driven 40 miles into Albania in the north.
