Sl5O,OOO,O0O STEEL
MERGER IN DOUBT
viii Fail Unless Agreement IS
Reached Soon. Says Director.

The abandonment Of the proposed
10000. 600 steel merger loomed up as
a possibility yesterday. The three
companies mentioned as the nucleus OF
the combination are the Cambria steel
Company. the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube Company and the Lackawanna
Steel Company.
A director Of one OF these companies
said Yesterday that unless there was
an agreement on the terms Of the
merger before the end Of the month
the efforts 10 bring the three con-
Germs together under one management
would fail He was hopeful. however.
that the plan would 60 through. The
departure Of Frank \. Nanderlp FOR a
six weeks vacation in California led
10 reports that Kuhn. Loeb Co.. had
been asked 20 head a syndicate TO
finance the merger.
II was admitted at the Offices Of the
banking firm that this matter had been
brought TO their attention, but tina. 50
far no decision had been reached.
Whether this meant that National City
Bank interests had definitely retired
from the negotiations was not dis
closed. In this connection. however,
il was recalled that Mr. Nanderllp had
been offered the Craftsmanship OF the
board Of the proposed combination,
but had declined to accept because Of
the stress Of other duties.
