Appeals Court Reverses
indianapolis Gas Case

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June THE United
States Circuit Court of Appeals yes
terday reversed a Federal District
Court ruling that the Chase National
Bank of New York was not entitled
to coercive judgment against the
City of Indianapolis and the Old
Citizens Gas Co. under 38-year -old
mortgage trust deed executed by
the Indianapolis Gas Co.
The bank had sought to obtain
payment of overdue interest on
mortgage bonds of the Indianapolis
Gas Co., which had been leased for
SO years to the Citizen Co., which
in turn had been taken over by the
city. All three were named defend
ants.
The District Court at Indianapolis
held the lease invalid and returned
judgment for sl,O32,150 against the
indianapolis Gas Co.
Both the bank and Indianapolis
Co. appealed, contending that the
lower court erred in invalidating
the lease. The bank also contended
that the court erred in failing to
render judgment for the coupons
against all three defendants.
The Appeals Court decision was
returned by Judges j. Earl Major,
Otto Kerner and Michael L. Igoe,
who ruled:
Chase is entitled to declaratory
judgment to the effect that the

NEW YORK, June 7.-Business is
pointing sharply higher, according
to Poor's Investment Advisory Serv-
ice. The Federal Reserve Board
index of production for May is es-
timated to have reached LOG, COM
pared with the recession low of 102
in April. A consistent rise in the
index appears to be developing.
Leading the advance at the pres
ent time is steel activity, with the
rate up 1863 points in the last five
weeks, and headed higher" con-
tinues the analysis Electric power
production is swinging into strong,
seasonal uptrend with figures ex-
pected to show only temporary
checks as result of Memorial Day
and July Fourth holidays. Freight
car loadings are also responding to
seasonal influences. Bank debts
also have advanced
The sharp advance in steel activ-
lty during the last five weeks is
reminiscent of last summer when
the rate advanced from about g.
per cent of capacity in mid-August
to 80 per cent five weeks later. That
move continued until the end of
the year when steel production
reached the 81 level. There is a
good chance that this nearly vertical
rise will be repeated. Consumers
OF iron and steel are stepping-up
their buying programs in anticipa-
ton of shortages and delayed de-
Hverles resulting from expanded Al
lied and domestic armament de-
mand, Mill backlogs are said to be
rising rapidly despite increased pro-
duction, indicating continued ad-
vances in the steel operating rate.
The new order index of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
gained 10 per cent in April over
March, reversing for the first time
the downward trend since Septem-
Der, 1899. At 102 the index COM
pared with SO in March. Inventories
were unchanged from the preceding
month, bearing out the previously
expressed opinion that supplies and
materials will be held at a relatively
high level as long as the war con-
tlnues,' the survey concludes.
