American Steel Industry At Moderate Pace PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Re covering from a sharp slump, the U.S. steel industry in 1961 gradually picked up strength and finished the year at a moderate production pace.

The outlook for 1962 is cloude because of forthcoming labor negotiations. Steelmen expect aj good year, but a strike of any duration could upset the fore- casts. For the first six. months ath least, it is anticipated that de- mand will be sustained at high Jevels as 'steel users build in- ventories against a possible mid-year work stoppage. The basic steel industry en- tered 1961 operating below 504 per cent of estimated capacity. it wasnt' until April that the recession, born in the summer of 1960, definitely ended. Production see-sawed the re-+ mainder of the year, largely in the 70-75 per-cent range. With final statistics yet to be reckoned, it appeared total 1961 production would fall just. shy of the 1960 mark of 99,280,00 tons--sixth best year in steel's| history.
