Costello, former congressman and head of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce Washington bureau, yesterday told the committee on disposal of government-owned government-owned iron and steel plants that "western buyers have had to pay $10 to $15'per ton more than eastern manufacturers for. the same steel." He reminded that western industry must have "reliable, "re-liable, close-at-hand sources of supply" if it is to reconvert and expand. That the mill could be operated profitably by private owners was shown in surveys by the U. S. Bureau of Mines and competent engineers, Costello said.
