 Storrs, Local Representative)
 Monday. April 20--Lighter re- ceipts of shipped in asparagus. cab- bage, caulifiower, iceberg lettuce and rhubarb were resulting in firm markets and higher prices for these products. Spinash, dandelions and potatoes were weaker items on the mained firm and high priced for most kinds, but dressed fowl were a little weaker. Eggs were weak and sellers of lower grades were forced to reduce price to even lower levels in order to move surplus sup plies. Among the meats beef and veal were weak, lamb steady and pork firmer and higher. Light weight pork cuts were in an even firmer market position than normal due to the fact that hog weights have been running a larger pro- portion heavy lately than usual.
 The firmer asparagus market was attributed to decreased shipments of California stock and delay of Q week or more in the start of heavy states. Other early vegetables were many of them in lighter supply due to similar causes.
 Very little native rhubarb or spinach have appeared on the local market yet, but it is expected that receipts of these from nearby will increase rapidly. Dandelions were still increasing from nearby, but as yet the supply has been limited.
 Live poultry buyers were still partica1 to medium or light weight fowl. Leghorns were quoted higher than colored breeds in some tn- stances. Rock broilers were main taining firnner tone than others, offerings or Reds and Leghorns in- creasing to some extent.
 Unless otherwise stated quotations arc based on sales of good mcr- chantable products to retailers or similar buyers, delivered.

BY Elmer c. Walker nitas1 Dress Financial EdftOrl


 New York, April 20 = (UP) = Tobacco stocks featured an irregu- lar stock market session today as American Tobacco spurted 1-2 points to 127 1-2 and the B stock 5 3-4 to 131 1-4. Other tobacco issues were up smaller amounts.
 Elsewhere the trend was unde- fined.
 United States Steel made a new low since 1927 at 129 3-4 off points from Saturdays close and hovered around the 130-level as the end of the fourth hour approached.
 Auburn ranged over an arc of 26 points between 180 and 206. near 2 D. m. it was at 196 off z.
 Tickers stood idle for minutes at a time so inactive was the turnover.
 A few stocks registered advances ranging above point. These in- cluded the tobacco shares, McKees- port Tin Plate, Eastman Kodak, Pennsylvania Railroad, and General Motors.
 Standard of New Jersey and Nickel Plate made new lows for the year in their respective division.
 Market news was mixed, being sprinkled with a series of good and bad first quarter reports. Consider able interest was attached to the action of U. s. Steel stockholders in adopting the company's pension plan which will automatically place President Farrell on pension in 2 years and thus lose his services to the corporation.

hands of the Canadian government itself. Survey now actually is, pro- ceeding. When it reaches the Alaska border the completion of the ruad to Fairbanks will depend upon the. gov ernment of the United States.'
 The mileage that will have to be built in Alaska may not exceed 50 or may run as high as 200, depend ing upon the point to which entry is made. This short piece of road, which will open up virgin mining section of Alaska, will also connect with the main highway system of 2,000 miles already in Alaska. The presen activity in the development of this highway has grown out of the trip made last summer under the guidance of Premier Tolmie of Brit ish Columbia, accompanied by repre- sentatives from the United States and fro mthe Chamber of Commerce of Seattle.
 The distance from Seattle to Fair banks is approximately 2,000 miles. When this road is completed a new and novel venture will be offered to the automobile tourist, and one of the greatest gestures of friendship between English-speaking nations will have been consummated. The will tie into the proposed interna- tional Pacific highway which is planned as the, longest road in the world, reaching from Fairbanks to Buenos Aires, toward the other end of South America.

still too much brush between him and the bear.
 When the bear came within 10 feet of him he shot it in the breast breast. It collapsed, seeming to squat down on all fours, but almost instantly got to it's feet, roared out in wounded rage, reared on it's hind legs and came at him. It was so close that he could feel it's breath in his face, but it overbalanced itself on the slope and fell over couple of times.
 MT. Teller had not fired the second time, fearing the appearance of the second bear more than the one he had wounded. He stood tense and ready, but the other beas did not appear. Meantime he could hear the first bear roaring and tearing it's way down the hillside. He remained at attention at attention some little time, keeping watch in all directions for the mate of the wounded bear.
 Upon it's failing to appear he scout ed about and found by signs it had left that vicinity.
 He then returned and followed the bloody trail of the wounded bear. It had 'clawed up great chunks of dirt and bushes and it's teeth marks show ed on small trees whiih it had bitten in its rage. It was found dead aboot 150 feet down the slope. It was q female bear and weighed about 900 pounds.

BILLION DOLLAR STEEL
 MERGER DENIED BY COURT

YOUNGSTOWN, O.fThe proposed billion-dollar merger between the Bethlehem Steel Corporation and the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company was denied by Judge David E. Jen- kins. He granted minority stockhold- CTS an injunction restraining the con- bination.
 Judge Jenkins handed down the decision six months from the inrep- tion of one of the bitterest legal bat ties in corporate history. The strug- gle of millions was carried out first with proxies and then with lawsuits.
 Minority forces marshaled by Cy- rus S. Eaton, Cleveland financier, went into court with charges of fraud after a spectacular battle for proxies.
 Judge Jenkins said the Youngs- town Sheet & Tube Company board of directors did not give adequate in formation to their stockholders on the merger when they met last April and approved it, and also said the ac- countants delivered misleading re- ports to the,s stockholders.

TACKLED BY TWO BIG BROWN BEARS IN A BRUSH PATCH,
 NO CHANGE TIC GET AWAY

To be tackled by two big brown bears in brush patch, without 9 chance to get away, and to have one
 them rear up within few feet wounded and roaring with rage, and ready to claw the life out of one, is not pleasant experience, declares the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 In such a case mans very life de- pends upon his coolness. That's what happened to R. A. Zeller, supervisor of the Tongas national forest, with headquarters in Ketchikan.
 MT. Teller kept tht story to himself for some little time, considering the incident merely part of his routine work, but some of the other employees of the forest survey tipped it off.
 The night of last November MT. Zeller and two other men anchored in Deadman's Reach, Peril Strait, on the tip of .Baranof Island
 The next morning the three men started out in the hills. They sep arated, the other two taking across the country in southeast direction and MT. Teller going along the main valley. He travelled to an elevation of about 500 feet and came across faint deer or game trail through the huckleberry bushes. The slope was fairly thick with brush which came up to his shoulders and there were columns of dense low cedar which grew close to the ground.
 While angling up the slope he passed within fifty feet of two brown bears bedded down in patch of cedar. When he was about 25 feet above them they caught his scent and began sniffing the air to try to locate him.
 MT. Teller was still in brush to his shoulders. Since a member of the forest reserve was killed a year ago by brown bear MT. Zeller carries rife in the woods and advises other men in the service to do the same.
 The bears seemed to locate the man by scent and started for him. MT. Zeller glanced about quickly to size up the best place to make a stand. The trees were too small to climb and afford protection even if time had been given him to get up one.
 Twelve feet above him he noticed a more open space. He made it in split second, but the bears came so fast that they were already on his trail and not more than 16 feet away For moment they swung to the left and disappeared around a clump of cedars.
 Then the lead bear came in sight ready for business. MT. Teller held his fire for second, as there was
