''V; FRIDAY JULY 31.1064 yU .1: -ie'ODESS-AMERIC- a PACE Tiri L7nJovn; SteehDdvm frown All- Day St ere Hours 9 a.nV. 7 p.m. ALWAYS FIRST QUALITY By BOB VOELKER PITTSBURGH (AP) Chicago people say city is becoming the new steel capital. They claim the westward movement has swept the greatest steel 'center out of these wrinkled Ohio Valley hills and plopped it out there On the flat prairie. Don't believe it, Chicago; It was a statistician who started the story.

He added up some figures and made some comparisons. But the people here know better They consider the spirit, and they say the spirit isn't likely to leave these hills. For It was fa Pittsburgh that a young nation grew it's muscles of steel. Pittsburgh steel made by the old-timers was more than steel; it was sweat and blood and gloom and hope. It was Pittsburgh iron that whizzed through the air at Gettysburg.

It was Pittsburgh steel that, pushed railroads across the prairie. It was Pittsburgh steel that built so many of the great skyscrapers and bridges. -q And it was mostly Pittsburgh steel that showed the kaiser, and Hitler, and some others a thing or two about industrial might. You can make your Chicago steel for paper clips and can openers. You'll never make foot-and-a-half-thlck armor for battleships, as Pittsburgh has, Make your steel for beer cans and gaudy auto fenders.

You'll never make the Empire State Building. You'll make Chicago steel with pushbuttons, with white-coated technicians peering at dials and gauges. The production line will be machines. In Pittsburgh, steel was made with shovels. "It was made In thunder and fire, in a smoky brillance that glimmered off the rivers and filled the sulphur nights with sight and sound and smell.

It was made in weary, 16-hour by sweaty, grimy men putting down roots in a new world, by men who could speak but a few words of the English language. That was' the spirit that made Pittsburgh steeL It's a glory that cannot be erased, or stolen away. Maybe, Chicago, the statistician will convince vou that you are the new champion of steel. Perhaps, you will feel high and mighty. If you do, you might from time to time slip off your crown of steel and read the inscription inside.

It says: "Made in Pittsburgh."
