Fair pulls a profit
despite problems
United Press International
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The
1982 World’s Fair ended ils six-
month run Sunday with
11,127,786 visitors recorded,
and its organizers celebrated
with a sparkle of fireworks and a
champagne toast to the “scruffy
little city” that hosted it.
The fair ended in the black,
causing officials to declare it a
financial success.
“These mountain folks should
be proud because we have been
able to do what most people said
we couldn’t do — to have a suc
cessful World’s Fair,” Jake
Butcher, the millionaire Knoxvil
le banker who helped arrange
federal financing, said at a final
ceremony Sunday night.
“I’d like to take a couple of
(champagne) bottles and pour
them over the heads of the peo
ple who said we couldn’t do it,”
Butcher said.
Fair officials had hoped to
attract 11 million people and
were 127,786 over that figure,
exceeding the totals of the 1975
fair in Spokane, Wash., and the
1962 exposition in Seattle.
Promoters made the last pay
ment on loans for the $115 mil
lion extravaganza three weeks
ago, and fair president S.H. “Bo”
Roberts said the event will end up
with a profit, although he de
clined to say how big.
The going was rough for the
fair in the beginning. Citizens
were refused a referendum and
were upset. Loans were hard to
come by, corporations were hard

United Press International
PITTSBURGH — Massive
third-quarter losses recorded by
the nation’s largest steel com
panies w ill get worse and imports
will grow until they grab up to 30
percent of the U.S. market,
analysts predict.
“None of the majors are in
trouble,” said Charles Bradford,
vice president of Merrill Lynch,
Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. “But
if we have another year as bad as
this one, with just 40 percent
capacity, a couple of them might
not make it.”
He said imports now take only
about 20 percent of the U.S. mar
ket, and that steel makers will
have to cut production even
more to survive.
The country’s eight major
steel firms swam in red ink from
July through September.
U.S. Steel Corp. lost $82.4 mil
lion; Bethlehem Steel Corp.,
$208.9 million; Republic Steel
Corp., $74.6 million; Armco
Inc., $112.6 million; National
Steel Corp., $96 million; Inland
Steel Corp., $45 million; Wheel-
ing-Pittsburgh Steel Corp., $26
million.
Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp.,
which reports only operating re
sults, lost $109 million.
