Speaking at the Pitt Conference on Business Prospects in the Hotel Webster Hall, Steph-en F. Dunn predicted a 2.3 per cent increase in overall consumption next year. He told businessmen and economists attending: the two-day parley that 474 million tons of U.

S. coal are being- burned this year, and 485 million tons will be ordered by domestic -and foreign consumers in 1965. i He said the electric utility Industry is the primary customer for bituminous coal, but substantial quantities of coking coal also are consumed in steel production. Mr. Dunn said coal used In si eel mills his year will reflect a 6.5 per cent increase over that used last year, and the figures for 1965 probably will remain at the same level.

Possible Increase There is a possibility of an Increase next year, he added, but "we cannot gauge with any reasonable accuracy the demand for structural steels, autos and other steel products." The retail market for bi tuminous coal dropped from 120 million tons in 1945 to less than 24 million tons at the end of 1963, and the railroad locomotive market disappeared completely, he said. "These were heavy blows, and to an Industry less resilient than coal they might have been fatal. But some far-sighted leaders In the coal Industry had the vision and the fortitude to fight back." Consumption of bituminous coal by electric utilities Increased from nearly 77 million tons in 1944 to 209 million tons in 1963, Mr. Dunn said. Atomic Power Future Atomic electric power looms as coal's most formidable competitor in the electric utility market of the future, he added.

"It is reassuring that the General Electric Co. has said that 'coal requirements are expected to double by 1975 and to remain the dominant source of this nation's electric power for the rest of the century'." Another speaker at today's final sessions of the conferencesponsored by the Bureau of Business Research of the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Business was Vincent A. Perry, an official of the International Paper Co. Mr. Perry listed paper apparel and paper bed linen among the new product developments, and said their use "is fast becoming a reality." M'Namara Shifts On A Carriers Next Craft May Be Nuclear-Propelled WASHINGTON, Oct.

23 (UPI) Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara seems to be having a change of heart about the use of nuclear propulsion in aircraft carriers. He fought Navy and Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) efforts to have America's latest carrier, the John F. Kennedy, 1 a r-powered. But he told a news conference yesterday chances of having atomic propulsion in the next carrier, tentatively scheduled to be started in 1966, "are very good, Indeed." Mr.

McNamara was chastized by the Joint Congressional Atomic Energy Committee "arly this year for bis refusal to change the Kennedy from conventional to nuclear power despite AEC and Navy proposals. After a long delay while proposals were being consid ered and finally rejected, con struction of the Kennedy was begun. Rep. Chet Holifleld, California Democrat and congressional committee vice chairman, said the decision was "a step backward we are doing something that is going to effect the Navy's capability to almost the year 2000."
