MERGER DEFENSE
ATTORNEY CLOSES
All Points Raised by Eaton
Group Challenged by BethIe-
hem Counsel.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, october 3d.
Frederick H. Wood, Bethlehem counsel,
ended the first of the defense arguments
In Judge David Jenkins court today
with statement that the plaintiffs
attack on the validity Of the merger
contract between youngstown Sheet &
Tube and Bethlehem Steel Corporation
Is not borne out in law.
The attorneys representing the Cyrus
s. Eaton interests, who sued to enjoin
the merger, charged that the contract
contained three provisions which rem
dered 1t void. Wood challenged the
claim on each provision separately.
One was the section which exemptS
from taxation in Ohio for three years
all Bethlehem stock issuable to Sheet g.
Tube shareholders, who would receive
four Bethlehem shares for three Of their
own. The Eaton group contended this
provision worked TO the beneflt Of stock
holders residing in Ohio and at the
same. time Disseminated against share
holders not residing in Ohio.
Declares Claim Unfounded.
Wood said this claim Is unfounded
because the contract defines the char
acter Of the stock to be issued and pro-
vides that every share shall be Of ex-
actly the same kind and character.
The purpose Of the tax exemption pro-
vision, he said, was to persuade against
selling of large blocks of Bethlehem
stock by Ohio owners, In order to ac-
quire tax-free securities.
The other provisions Of the contract
which Wood defended were those giving
Bethlehem the option Of cancelling II
If more than per cent of the Youngs-
town shareholders demanded the fair
cash value of their holdings, and that
stating that Bethlehem should concur
In the cash value offered by the Youngs-
town company.
Argument Lasts Six Days.
There Is nothing In the law which
prohibits the purchaser from approving
the cash value offer Of the seller, Wood
said. He added that the agreement Is
still legally contract regardless of the
option provision but pointed to the
action Of Bethlehem en- April 20 of
waving its right to cancel.
Woods argument consumed the better
part Of six days. Three more defense
attorneys will be next to speak and the
case will be given into Judge jenkins
hands after two closing arguments by
the plaintiffs James E. Bennett was to
follow Wood with a defense argument
in support CT the validity Of pro-merger
proxies.

EFFECT IS DISCUSSED.
Appeal From Decision Is Expected to
Be Completed Today.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, October 30.-The record
of appeal in the cases before the Circuit
Court for Anne Arundel County, 325 in
number, most Of which concern the
right of former District residents to
local registration as voters, will be COM
pleted today, If possible, so that the
Court Of Appeals, now in session at An
napolis, can hear the contested points
of law and render q decision prior to the
election.
The special point to be decided by
the Court Of Appeals Is upon the ruling
of Chief Judge r. Neal Parke, in the
local court, that the act. Of 1929, under
which most Of the registrations took
place, was invalid. Judge Parke held
that its provisions were in conflict with
the fourteenth amendment to the United
States Constitution
Many Precedents Declared.
90 There are many precedents for the
appellate court sitting In special ses-
sion and considering case Of this sort
ahead of its regular turn when i'm
portant rights are at stake and may be
forfeited unless . prompt decision Is
rendered.
An examination Of the 325 cases shows
that all but 40 are affected by Judge
Parke's decisions. In other cases Of
about this number, a declaration of in
as provided by the former law, had been
filed.
The court was in actual session for
only q limited time yesterday, but much
time was spent in conference by the
counsel on. both sides, the court having
directed them to reach an agreement
II possible, as to the grouping Of the
various cases. 80 that they might be
heard together and time saved.
Number Of Questions Involved.
The decision Of Judge Parke has
brought up a number of questions of
Statewide and general interest, though
1t is conceded that his view Of the mat
ter applies at present only to those
cases actually before the court. How
ever, If the Court Of Appeals upholds
his position, namely, that the act of
1929 is invalid, many thousands
throughout the State who registered
under that law. though they will be
able to vote at the coming election, will
have their names stricken from the
books later. In this case the Legis-
lature, which convenes next January,
Is expected TO cure the defect In the
present law. It has also been suR-
gested that the recent primaries In
which votes were cast Of many Of those
now declared improperly registered
might be invalid for that reason. This
view, however, is not generally upheld
by lawyers. The chief provision Of the
act OF 1929 was the repeating of the
portion which required a resident of an
other State before becoming q citizen
OF Maryland TO file his declaration Of
intention to become such . citizen one
year before registration was permitted

Continued From First Page.)

Only persons legally challenged and
stricken from the books for cause will
be barred from voting November 4, It
was said.
Under the amendment declared in
valid, persons coming into Maryland
after they are 81 years old could qualify
as voters by living in the State one year
and by presenting to Board Of Reg
istry two aff1davits from qualified voters
attesting that fact.
Previously it was necessary to declare
intention to vote year before election.
If the ruling of the Circuit Court Is
upheld, 1t is the opinion Of the ma
jority of those In q position to know
that the Legislature will be required
to pass a new and uniform election law
covering the registration Of voters.
Effects Not Known.
In the meantime political leaders
throughout the State frankly admitted
that they did not know exactly how
far-reaching the results Of the decision
may eventually prove to be. However,
q feeling of relief swept both Demo-
cratic and Republican headquarters
when consensus Of expert opinion
pointed out that in all events the pres
emit election would not be affected.
Willis r. Jones, assistant attorney
general, declared tnat ne ola not tLlIlh
the decision Of the court would have
any effect on the coming election.
He said that until the law has been
finally stricken. from the books he did
not see how the decision of the court
could affect more than the individual
case before 1t.
At all events, he said, the decision
could not hold sway outside of the
fifth judicial circuit, which includes
Howard, Carroll and Anne Arundel
Counties.
Other Circuits Not Affected.
He said he believed that the other
Circuit Courts would have to reach
similar conclusions before any voters
could be stricken from the books pend
ing the decision Of the Court OF APP
peals.
The case in which the ruling was
handed down was that Of Ralph D.
Keadle, the first Of 325 protested voters
to be tried before the Circuit Court In
Annapolis. Keadle admitted that he
received his automobile license tags In
Washington, but lived at a store in
Anne Arundel County for six months
last year. The majority Of voters chal-
lenged as non-residents are Democrats.
