CYANAM|D PLANS
PREFERRED ISSUE
New Shares May Be Used
to Supplement Cash Com
mon Dividends.
Ry the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September 24.-A spe-
clal meeting of stockholders of Ameri-
can Cyanamid Co. has been called for
october to act upon a proposed au-
thorization of 2,500,000 shares of new
per cent cumulative preferred stock
OF $40 par value convertible into class
B" common stock and an increase
IN the number Of authorized shares of
class "B" common stock from 3,OOo,.
600 shares to 100000 shares.
w. B. Bell, president, said the COM
pany required substantial part of
earnings for increased working caU-
tai and expansion. If the plan were
adopted, he added, the company would
be in position from time to time to
supplement cash dividends on the
common stock with dividends in pre-
ferred stock, "if deemed advisable"
An increase in the distribution of
earnings by such dividends in pre-
ferred stock would operate to reduce
the company's tax liability which
might otherwise arise on account of
undistributed net income, while at the
same time cash accumulations would
be retained for necessary corporate
purposes" he said.

Bookings Expected
To Revive Shortly
At Steel Plants
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, September "a
Daily Metal Trade today says:
New business in finished steel prod
ucts is expanding slowly. Backlogs
continue to shrink but producers are
confident that volume buying will de-
velop shortly to support operations
around the current high level.
Automotive tonnage demand is
thought sure to come out shortly and
already is expanding encouragingly.
With deliveries prompt in most lines
now, miscellaneous consumers are less
inclined to order ahead, and this is
believed one reason for the lag in new
buying lately. However, as the Fall
, season progresses it is believed de-
liveries will tighten up. with a result
ing increase in buying by general con-
sumers.
The tone in the steel market is

MONTS, France, May 19.-The Duke
of Windsor made known today that
he and Mrs Wallis Warfield have
signed contract of marriage, pre-
sumably for disposition of property in
the event of death or separation after
their June 3 wedding.
Herman L. Rogers, spokesman for
the couple, said the contract was
signed yesterday under British law, but
that its provisions would not be dis
closed.
Rogers added his personal opinion
that members of the royal family were
absenting themselves from the duke S
marriage because "the King George
VII was advised not to send any one"
The British government has con-
tended that the wedding should be a
private ceremony, without royal repre-
Sentation.
Details Not Revealed.
Although details of the marriage
contract were not known, it was dis
closed last night that it would be pos
sible for the British royal family, by
contract, to prevent Mrs. Warfield
from obtaining any of the dukes herit-
age in the event of separation.
French marriage contracts usually
provide that husband and wife each
keep whatever they bring to the union
and that property accruing after mar
riage be left for settlement, in the
event of separation.
Soon after the wedding the duke and
his duchess will leave the chateau to
spend almost month travelling before
they reach Wasserleonburg Castle, at
Noetsch, Austria, about July l, the
spokesman predicted
The gray castle on Austrias SOUTH
ern frontier, commanding an Alpine
view into Yugoslavia and Italy, has
been leased by the duke from his
friend, Count Paul Muenster, despite
