Last week the following were news: Highest council in the steel industry is American Iron & Steel Institute, whose 32 directors administer the Steel Code. When President Robert Patterson Lamont, onetime (1929-32) Secretary of Commerce, resigned last year, the Iron & Steel Institute postponed electing a new president pending reorganization.
