STEEL STOCKPILE
CONSTRUCTION DELAYED BY GOVERNMENT CONTROL Rec. 6.30 p.m. SYDNEY, Oct. 17. While housing programmes are threatened by shortages of steel, thousands of tons of it are piling up at Port Kembla because of lack of transport. The accumulation of metal products for other States and New Zealand at Port Kembla has grown from 25,000 tons last May to more than 40,000 tons last week. All the items represented are in famine supply in New South Wales as well as elsewhere, but cannot be released locally by manufacturers because the Commonwealth Government has maintained control of most metal products, with a specified allocation to all States. A similar situation has developed at Newcastle.
