Newly Mined Ore Wasted, While Use of Scrap Wanes NEW YORK (UPI)-A30 per cent plunge in scrap iron prices last year poses something of a threat to the U.S. economy, says Dr Herschel Cutler, executive director of the Institute of Scrap Iron Steel, Washington. Purchases of scrap iron and steel tumbled 28 per cent or 14.2 million tons to 37.1 million tons last year. At the same time, output of virgin iron ore in the United States dropped 3 per cent but imports of foreign ore fell only 2 per cent from the record level of 1974. Cutler called this most unfortunate.

the United States is to conserve and recover resources, something must be done to expand the market for scrap iron and he said.

(APA youth apparently depressed because he thought he lacked credit to participate in his high school graduation ceremonies hanged himself Saturday from a tree behind his home, police said. Police said Thomas Riggle, 18, had received notice Friday from Rich East High School in this southern suburb of Chicago that he was one-half credit short of earning a diploma. Officials said Riggle apparently did not understand he could have participated in the graduation ceremonies Monday and make up the credit in summer school.

They termed his death an apparent suicide. No notes were found. His parents, Mr. and Mrs Joel Riggle, were camping in western Illinois when notified of their death. Riggle played lead guitar in band, apd a band member said Riggle had picked up his graduation gown Thursday and had made plans to study music in college next fall.

Boy, 2, Injured On Carnival Ride A two-year-old boy was listed in good condition Saturday evening at Union Hospital following a mishap at the Banks-of-the-Wabash Festival. Troy L. Dudley, son of Vernon Dudley, 913 7th was injured on a carnival ride about 6:35 p.m. Saturday. According to the police report, Troy and his five-year- old brother were riding on a kiddy ride, when Troy apparently tried to get off while the ride was still in motion.

The report stated that the youth fell and was trapped in front of the toy vehicle ride and was pushed until the machine was turned off by the ride operator. A Fire Department ambulance made the run to the northside hospital. Escapee Caught MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (AP) A Kentucky man who escaped from the state prison here Tuesday is back in custody, corrections officials said. Bobby Barnes, 45, of Pine Knot, surrendered to police in Louisville Friday night.

Barnes, who had been serving two 14-year terms on a 1972 conviction for assault with intent to kill, was reported missing by guards making their rounds Tuesday. using up so much virgin domestic ore and importing so much expensive foreign ore while the scrap goes unused Despite the obvious fact that the natural resources are dwindling and there is plenty of scrap iron available the scrap iron industry has a history of boom and bust cycles and a perilous-existence for its dealers, Cutler said. The recycling of cans and junk automobiles, while desira ble, does a great deal less than most people imagine to increase the overall utilization of scrap, he said In fact, it may not increase overall utilization to any measurable degree just substitute one kind of scrap for another What is needed, he said, is to get rid of certain freight and tax advantages that long established legal and administrative measures and industry customs give to virgin ore which encourage its use instead of scrap. The tax advantages are enjoyed by the ore mining industry. Associations of scrap dealers have campaigned in vain for some kind of tax relief for their business that will make scrap more competitive with virgin ore.

The freight rate advantages enjoyed by virgin ore over scrap are even more important and are much less understood by the public, Cutler said. fact is, by the nature of the steel mill business, scrap iron necessarily is what rail experts call There is no practical alternative to moving it by rail, for a complex variety of reasons. Many years ago old Commodore Vanderbilt said where such captive commodities are concerned, the railroads charge all the traffic will and they still do. They always argue against cutting rates on scrap iron saying it will cost them too much money. The ore producers fight reforming the rates on scrap iron for a different reason.

Cutler said. our railway freight laws, once discrimination between two similar commodities is found to be a fact, the ICC has the option of lowering the rates on the commodity discriminated against or raising the rates on the other commodity. ore people fear in the case of scrap iron and virgin iron ore, the regulatory authorities would follow the line of least resistance and raise the rates on ore instead of cutting the rates on He said the excuse for doing so would be the precarious financial condition of many of the railroads. But the U.S. will keep on wasting vi rgin ore and the scrap iron business will remain hazardous and frequently depressed until this Gordiar.

knot is cut, he said Mother, Daughter Hurt in Crash A Terre Haute mother and her three and a half year old daughter were treated and released at Terre Haute Regional Hospital Saturday for injuries they received when their auto hit a parked car Taken to the southside hospital after the accident were Sandra Hetterscheidt, 22, 2804 N. 12th her daughter, Angela.

(AP) Sherman Skolnick, a self-styled court watchdog, was free on $15,000 bond Saturday after he surrendered to Porter County authorities on contempt of court charges. The contempt citations arose from an incident last summer when Skolnick was acting as an attorney for Robert and Joyce Skaggs in a foreclosure suit being tried before Porter County Grcuit Court Judge Alfred Pivamik. Skolnick, of Chicago, was cited for contempt when he made allegations that Pivamik was corrupt.

Skolnick had served two one- day taros for contempt before leaving the state He tried, unsuccessfully, to appeal by mail his remaining contempt citations. The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that Skolnick must first surrender to the court before he could appeal.
