ClNkIEG Of the Hood brought OUT
~ an interesting fact. Our naval Of
Ulcers ircl certain that American ships
will not so readily be destroyed by a
hit in the powder magazine. The ex-
planation seems to be that the British
use an explosive type OF powder, one
which gives more fire power, while
the American powder burns but does
not explode.

Since March, 1887
BY the Associated Press.

Gs lIlt aoeONlnNc1 1908
The Commerce Department said
today both exports and imports Of
American merchandise increased in
April.
Exports totaled s364,OOO 900, the
highest for any month since jan
uary, 1910, and imports amounted
to s288, 100000, the highest for any
month since March, 1887.
The export total was per cent
higher than March and 13 per cent
above April, 1940 The import total
was 7 per cent more than March and
IS per cent more than April of last
year
While no information was given as
to the types of merchandise involved
of the countries, it was understood
that exports increased primarily be-
cause of increased shipment of war
materials to Great Britain and i'm
ports were boosted by the acquisition
of strategic materials for the Amer
lean defense industries. For defense
reasons, the department has stopped
the publication of the destination of
trade.
In the first four months of the
year, exports aggregated $3.50, ,000,-

the similar months last year exports
were 81 1891 900, 900 and imports s87l,- =
100000. Last years figure was high
er, due to large shipments to France,

PITTSBURGH, June 12.-In-
formed steel circles heard today the
United States Steel Corp. will
launch the Nations steel-making
expansion program by erecting
$50, 1000, 900 plant at its already vast
Homestead works here.
The reports, which officials de-
clined to affirm or deny at this
time" were that the corporation
and Government are in substantial
agreement" on a plan whereby the
Government will finance construc-
ton Of the new facilities. Work may
start next month
Oficials of the corporation-the
Nations largest steel producer
disclosed some time ago that options
have been taken as fast as possible
on huge block Of ground adjoining
the Homestead Mill as we'll as on
another plot of land near the COM
pany's Duquesne works. Most of
these options expire June 80, it was
said.
Plans Revived Suddenly.
The expansion plans, which lapsed
for time, we're brought to a sudden
revival recently by the request of
the Once Of Production Manage
ment that the industry expand ingot
facilities by 100000 tons a year.
The present capacity is about 30
100000 tons.
1t is known that big steel's"
craftsmen have been working over
time to hurry completion of blue
prints.
The Iron Age, steel trade maga-
zine. reported today tentative allot-
ments of capacity additions by the
operators call for the United States
Steel Corp. to add 100000 tons to
its present annual capacity. which
would maintain its ratio of about
35.2 per cent of the Nations output
Other allotments we're said to be
10000 tons by Bethlehem Steel,
second largest producer; 400 900 to
Republic Steel, third largest, and the
remainder to be divided among the
Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. the
National Steel Corp. and the Amer
ican Rolling Mill Co. The eXpan-
sion plans call for about 95 open
hearth furnaces and from II to 20
new blast furnaces.
The industry's capacity was in
creased more than 100000 tons last
year, most of the increase being by
United States Steel.

Oil Men Confident
Gasoline Shortage
Will Be AVerted
Believe Iekes Program
Also Will Provide for
japanese Needs
Nv the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 12.-Authori-
tative oil trade sources said today
they were convinced a program un-
der preparation by Secretary Ickes,
petroleum industry co-ordinator,
would avert the threatened gasoline
shortage in the Eastern States this
winter and would permit the con-
tinuation of oil shipments to Japan.
These authorities estimated Japan
was receiving about 1000 900 barrels
month of United States petroleum,
gasoline and lubricating oil. No
aviation gasoline is included in these
shipments, that having been banned
to Japan last year by President
Roosevelt.
Continuation of these shipments,
made from California. was said by
the oil men to have the approval OF
the State Department.
In explanation, one oil company
official declared: There is nothing
Hitler would rather see than for us
to get embroiled in the Pacific, as we
would be likely to do if Japan had
to turn to other sources for her Oil"
There was disagreement as to how
the japanese shipments were being
carried, some saying that only jap
anese tankers were being used
others commenting that some Of
these Japanese tankers until re-
Gently were American-owned and
others asserting that, until re-
Gently, at least, three American oil
tankers were engaged in the trans
Pacific run.
The oil men insisted the COM
panies were abiding entirely by the
wishes of the State Department.
AS for the Ickes program, it was
said to revolve around the construc-
ton of three gigantic pipelines to
feed gasoline, petroleum and fuel
oil into the heart of the industrial
Eastern seaboard and more efficient
operation Of other pipelines already
In service in the East.
At least one of these lines. to be
run from Galveston to New Jersey,
is planned for capacity of 25o.000
barrels of gasoline and fuel oil a
day.
Another line, of equal size, may
supply the East with crude oil from
the fields of Illinois.
The third line, the plantation line,
already under construction. will
carry gasoline from louisiana re-
fneries to Southern industrial CEN
ters and probably to Norfolk.
The Government, 1t was reported,
may demand the reversal of flow of
pipelines now carrying petroleum
products from New Jersey westward,
using these pipes to carry crude into
the refineries.

Morgan Stanley Files
Appeal From ). &c.
Bond Ruling
Test Of 'Arms-L Length
Bargaining System
Is Prepared
., the Associated Press.

., the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 12.-The first
court test Of the Securities and Ex-
change Commissions arms length
bargaining" rule was in the making
today after filing late yesterday by
the investment banking firm Of
Morgan Stanley g. Co. Of suit in
the Federal District Court In con-
nection with the public offering,
more than a year ago. of S25 900 900
of Dayton Power & Light Co. first
mortgage bonds.
The action was an appeal from a
ruling of March 81, this year, by the
commission denying Morgan Stanley
S90,844 for its services as head of
an underwriting group, and par
ticipant, to the extent of $4,350 900,
in the offering of the Dayton Power
bonds in February, 1910.
The commission contended that
Morgan Stanley was an affiliate"
of Dayton Power by virtue of GER
tain alleged financial and personal
connections extending through j. P.
Morgan g. Co., the United Corp. and
Columbia Gas & Electric Corp,
parent concern of Dayton, and that,
as a consequence, the underwriting
deal had not been made "at arms
length" as required by the COM
missions rule U-12F-2.
Order Is Challenged.
Morgan Stanleys petition alleged
that the commissions order erred
in finding, without substantial evi-
dence and contrary to substantial
evidence, that special relationship
existed between petitioner Morgan
Stanley and Dayton, which was
such that there was liable to have
been an absence of arm s-length'
bargaining
Legal authorities here pointed out
the S90,844 fee to which Morgan
Stanley believes it is entitled. The
commission rule in question, u
12F-2, has been superseded by a new
rule, U-50, which requires that all
utility concerns submit securities
offerings to competitive bidding
among underwriters, so the question
of arm s-length bargaining" no
longer arises.
Utility Bond Bids Asked.
Meantime, the largest Offering yet
made under the new U-50 rule was
put up today for competitive bidding
as the Philadelphia Co., big Pitts
purgh holding concern, announced
1t would receive bids for 100000 900
of new securities. The bids will be
opened in Pittsburgh on June "a.
The securities comprise S48,000,-
900 of collateral trust sinking fund
bonds and $4,000, 900 of collateral
trust serial notes. The bidders will
name the coupon rate as well as the
price. The funds will be used to re-
deem outstanding per cent bonds
due in 1867.
