STEEL MERGER
 IS PERMITTED

Cleveland. May 3. - (U.P.) - Merger of the Republic Steel Cor poration and Corrigan Mckinney Steel Company was given the ap- provaI of federal court to-day when Judge Frederick M.. Ray mond ruled against the govern ment in its suit to block the anal gamation.
 Judge Raymond, in an opinion mailed to Cleveland from his home in Grand Rapids. Mich, ruled that the proposed 32S,000,000 merger would not be in violation of the Clayton antitrust act, as charged by government attorneys.
 Approval of the merger makes Republic Steel a dominant figure in the steel industry, creating cor poration with capital structure of more than third of a billion dollars.
 Completion of the consolidation, already approved by stockholders of both companies, will consolidate republic in third position in the steel industry. topped only by the giant U. s. Steel and Bethlehem Steel Corporations.
 The merger will elevate Tom M Girdler, Republic chairman, to one of the most powerful lniches in the steel industry.

FLEET HAS MOVED
 INTO PACIFIC.

Aboard U. S. Fleet Flagship Pennsylvania, May 3.-(UP)-Be- hind shroud of wartime secrecy, the U. s. Navy moved its combined fighting forces into the Pacific at dawn to-day, beginning momentous war games. From San Diego on the south to the Aleutian islands in the far north, the battle forces swept to sea to engage in prob lem 16. A majority of the navy heavy battleships nosed out of San Francisco bay and fast cruisers, swift destroyers and two auxiliary units cast off from Puget Sound. In semi-darkness and complete silence, other units cast off from foggy Alaskan fnlets. The man. euver encompassed 60 per cent of the navy's manpower and ap- proximately S5 per cent of the na- tion's total sea strength.
 From it is expected to come the comforting knowledge that Amer ica is safe from foes attacking from the Pacific. On the other hand, naval strategists may learn it is necessary to strengthen flaws in the national defense. Aside from the military and naval strategy involved, the mock war fare will test the efficiency of a new aircraft carrier, the Ranger, five new heavy cruisers and two new destroyers. The eight ships are making their debut in mapeuv- org

Hundreds of private duty nurses in this city will await with interest the first comprehensive report ot the unemployment situation in re- gard. to the profession, to be made at the spring meeting of the Con- necticut State Nurses association May 16 in Bridgeport, according to an announcement today by state officials.
 The afternoon program will be determined by the information gathered in the study of registers in Connecticut made by the com mittee on Distribution of Nursing Service, according to tentative plans for the conference.
 Conducted by the committee in each city, the survey is expected to present a clear picture of nnem- p1oyment conditions among private duty nurses and 1t is probable that discussion of methods of relieving a situation regarded as serious by authorities on nursing will occupy the entire afternoon session.
 Hospital Survey
 The survey in this city was made at both Waterbury and St Mary's hospitals to determine exactly how many nurses were on call here and how many were being given em- ployment.
 While the subject was thorough. ly discussed at the February ses- sion of the association in Bridge port, there were no recent statistics available. Delegates to the conven- tion agreed, however, that 3 con- sistent increase in the number of nurses throughout the country, far out of proportion to the popula- ton, would in all probability make it necessary to advance eligibility requirements for the student nurse.
 Speakers at the meeting pointed out that between 1900 and 1880 the number of trained nurses in the United States increased from 11,S92 to 294,189. The population of the country during that time in-
