DENY CIRCULATION
OF FALSE STORIES
Reason for Tube Company's
Merger With Steel Firm
Is Explained.

BY the Associated Press.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, October ~
The charges Of plaintiffs counsel that
directors and officers of youngstown
Sheet & Tube Co. circulated ghost
stories" about the company's future
prospects to justify the merger with
Bethlehem Steel Corporation were
answered today by Defense Attorney
Frederick H. Wood.
He said that no attempt ever had
been made TO magnify the effect Of the
position In which the youngstown COM
pany found itself by reason Of change
in the art of making pipe.
mo one ever sought to say that
Youngstown was irredeemably bound
for the rocks" the attorney asserted.
"Of course the youngstown company
has the resources and the ability to
extricate itself from that position.
But the choice" Wood said, was
whether the company should meet the
expense of 100000 for undermining
it's pipe and sheet mills by q bond issue,
by issuing new stock or by merging
with company that would bear two
thirds of the cost.
He said that while Youngstown's
position in respect of the changed con-
ditions was not magnified, neither was
it minimized. and that the company
decided the most advantageous way
out was to merge. The question of q
merger with some other concern which
could offer 1t a diversity Of products
had been before the board for seven
years, Wood said.
The Bethlehem attorney resumed his
argument for the defense this morning
after a week end adjournment. At
/ least the remainder Of this week Is to
be spent in arguments with which
Judge David jenkins will take under
advisement the application of the in
terestS of Cyrus s. Eaton, Cleveland
financier, for an injunction against the
merger.
Wood pictured Eaton as a man with
interests widely diversified and one
who is seeking power through q steel
combination in the Midwest. He asked
the court to consider whether Eaton
or the youngstown directors, whose
histories Wood reviewed, had the good
of the stockholders most at heart.

Taking exception to the statement yes
terday of Robert H. Forman, executive
secretary Of the Voters Service Club,
to the effect that the county manager

by a number of individuals who have
had no experience in government" the
special committee of the Civic Fedora

declared this to be untrue.

Continuing, the committee points to
Harry A. Fellows of East Falls Church,
formerly mayor of the town of Falls

Question of Cost.
As to the question Of an increase in
the cost of operating the local govern

hope of the advocates of the new form
Of government that the board will
employ q high-class man as coun-
