THE present revenues of the va
rious exchanges are now inadequate,
but as we said some time ago, we
would cease our efforts TO obtain

ice where we now collect. we will
promptly seek higher exchange rates
and we will not stop until they have

announced following a meeting
here of directors of the National
steel Corporation, which will develop
Port Williams, on the shore Of Lake
Michigan, as another Gary.
The site is between Gary and
Michigan City and comprises $500
acres on which S30,000,000 will be
spent. Thousands Of men will be
employed in the construction work,
the directors said.
insult interests have purchased a
large acreage in connection with
the site and will use it in develop
nent OF residential and business
section for those the industry will
employ.
Cost Lower Now
Recently s25,oOo,OO0 plant was
completed at Ecorse, Mich, for the
Great Lakes steel Company, a ma
tional subsidiary. In March, when
the Port william site was pur-
chased, the National officials an
nounced they would begin develop
ment of the industry when the other
plant was completed, and at their
meeting here stated they were car
rying out that promise. They point
out that low labor and material
prices now prevailing make the
present an advantageous time for
construction.
The site Of the new steel city
is named for John D. Williams,

ton
More Expansion Possible
Another addition TO the Indiana
steel industry is being discussed due
TO belief that Charles NJ. Schwab
of Bethlehem Steel will erect a
western plant, provided court sane
tions, giving a. merger of Bethlehem
and the youngstown Sheet and
Tube Company. This would assure
expansion of the present Youngs-

Ambitions of
.cNutt Held
Target
BY BEN STERN

Appointments 10 major positions
made by Frank Mayr Jr.. secretary
Of state-elect. are being hailed to-
day by observers as an effort to
curb the growing importance in
Democratic state affairs Of Paul v.
McNutt, dean Of the Indiana Law
school and convention keynoter, and
to build up an organization TO be
headed BY Mayr and his close as
sociates. These are Chester Mont
gomery, former mayor OF South
Bend, and Rudolph Ackerman,
controller Of that city.
Naming Of two close adherents
and supporters of the new secretary
to key positions in his department
give tinge of truth to the reports.
In appointing Robert Codd of
South Bend. retired business man,
as deputy secretary, Adayr selected a
man who is unknown to party lead
ers of the state, and is one Of his
close personal friends.
Without going afield, the new
secretary then gave the position of
securities commissioner to william
P. ONeill of Mishawaka, Lieuten-
ant Governor under Samuel M.
Ralston. O'Neill was one Of the
leaders in the convention fight to
nominate Mayr and accompanied
him everywhere during the cam
paign
Peters Foe Appointed
A play for the support of John
Frederick, Kokomo manufacturer,
who was a candidate for the noIni~
nation for Governor in 1923, was
made in the appointment of Grover
Garrett, Ninth district chairman.
Garrett was one of the leaders in
the fight against the reelection Of
r. Earl Peters, state chairman.
The one appointment which Is
winning general appreciation is that
of James w. Carpenter, Conners-
vile, Sixth district chairman whose
ability as an organizer was evil
denced when the district went DEM
ocratic.
Montgomery, it is said, cherishes
ambitions to be either Governor or
senator, and through the state de-
partment expects to be able to fur
ther them.
Mayor Is Criticised
The most serious threat to his
aspirations is McNutt, and by re-
ducing any power he could build
up through patronage, the way
would be clear for the South Bend
man to force himself to the front.
Mayr is being widely criticised for
not conferrign with Chairman
Peters regarding the appointments.
Other offlcials-elect have been in
close touch with the chairman and
submitted all appointments for his
approval.
An agreement is said to have been
entered into by Mayr and Governor
Leslie. Under the statutes, the Gov
ernor must approve the secretary's
of state appointment Of a chief OF
the bureau Of criminal Identification
and investigation, all members OF
the state police department and all
the deputies on the securities COM
mission.
Leslie is anxious that Edward L.
Osborne Of Lafayette, head Of the
crime bureau, he retained, and 1t
is declared that, in consideration OF.
this, he agreed not to ohstruct
Mayr's other appointments.
