Washington, Apr. 24.
A topmost level struggle in the Pentagon, America's huge "city within a city" housing her defence chiefs and their staffs, has broken out over the use to which the new "miracle weapons" should be put in the Korean war, if it breaks out afresh. President Truman's declaration that he means

Geneva, Apr. 24.
A warning to European steel producers not to rely on continued demand from North American markets but to develop markets elsewhere, is con- tained in a survey issued here today by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.
The heavy European, steel exports to the United States and Canada, 1,450,000 tons in 1950 and 1,500,000 tons during the first six months of 1951, will not be repeated this year as the produc- tion capacity is increasing rapidly in both coun- tries, the survey says.
"The substantial increase in imports by the United States was due mainly to reduced production caused by strikes and the demand for steel for rearmament pro- gramme.

whose pro- duction was estimated at 37,- 700,000 tons.
