MERGERS IN RAYON
FIELD ARE limited
Leading Firms Mentioned in
Possible Effort to Econo-
mize Production.
BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.

Special Dispatch to the Star.
NEW YORK, March 23.-Because of
merger prospects and indications of In
creased demand, Rayon today is an i'm
portant topic of discussion in financial
and dry goods circles. The consolida-
ton movement Is due to the success Of
other textile makers in their efforts to
curtail output while the speeding up Of
domestic plants reflects tapering rayon
imports-the latter an effect of the new
tariff.
Estimated production Of rayon yarns
in this country last year was 10 ,20s, 900
pounds, against 121, 100000 in 1929.
Consumption Appropriated 100.000,0O0
pounds, against 100, 100000 for 1929.
Imports, because of the tariff and low
cred market quotations, were reduced
from 15,903, 900 pounds in 1929 to $780,
900 pounds in 1880 and this trend ap-
parently Is continuing this year..
Reduced Profits.
The slump in rayon in 1880 explains
the reduced profit reported by many
companies and also explains why bank
ers are anxious to do some CONSOLIDATE
ing In this industry. Although London
reported that Samuel A. Courtauld, di-
rector Of Courtaulds, Ltd, the worlds
largest rayon producer, sailed today for
New York on private business" there
are observers here who see in Mr.. Cour-
taulds coming some relation to several
reported merger discussions.
Trade developments today included
the stepping up of production at the
American Glanzstoh Corporation plant
at Elizabethtown, Tenn; the receipt of
large rayon orders by the Armory MIL
of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Co.,
Manchester, N. H: the starting of q
rayon weaving plant of the Norfolk

NEW YORK, Dec. 3 QN.So
Frederick NietSche in a black

In Optimistic Mood
In an optimistic mood DR.. Rob.
ert A. Millikan, world-famous sci

day similar view of the physi
cal universe. He said:
There seems to be a con-
tinuOuS cycle Of degeneration
and regeneration of matter
going on. Further experiments
at my laboratories in the Cali
fOrnia Institute Of Technology
continue strongly to support
that hypothesis. The universe
is not running down. AS stars
disintegrate, the stuff they are
made Of is developing in inter
stellar space. All of it should
get back into solar circuIa-
ton again"
This view apparently contra,
diets the exploding" and lex
