crease of rates.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sions long awaited decision in the
general rate case was not given out
today. at the morning announcement

New York. May eo.-Abandonment
Of the proposed merger of independent
steel companies was generally fore
cast today as a result OF the with
drawal of the YOUNGSTOWN Sheet and
Tube Company from the six-company
combine.
While a statement Of Thomas l..

companies. which was issued after
Youngstown withdrawal yesterday,
set forth that Conferences Of the other
five companies are being continued TO
determine whether il would be ari-
visable 70 consider the consolidation OF

expressed that the merger negotla-
tiOns would be continued
J. A. Campbell, president Of YounEs-

as head Of the proposed merger, serv-
ing as chairman Of the board OF di-
rectors and chairman Of the execu-
tive committee.

remains a mystery. MIR. Campbell
reiterated today that no negotiations
Were pending and no offers had been
received for merger OF his company
and any other. either in or Outside the
proposed independent combine. and
added that none was expected. From
other sources 1t was learned that the
question of terms was not involved in
the reason for Youngstown with
drawal which was described as a mat
ter individual TO that company.
Latest developments in the merger
situation resulted in a food of new
rumors mostly concerning possible
organization or new combinations.
Reports have been current in the
financial district. for some days that
Midvale and Republic were negotiat-
ing with the Bethlehem I.ackawanna
combine, but these have been denied
by Mr.. ChadbOurne. Youngstown s
withdrawal also revived the possibility
of merger Of that company with the
Inland Steel Company and the Steel
Tube Company Of America. which was
under negotiation two years ago and
subsequently abandoned.
