Merger Of Buckeye,
Indiana Pipelines
Voted by Holders
Corporate Link With
Northern Pipeline
Also Approved
BY the Associated Press.

ES the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. l.
Stockholders of the Buckeye Pipe
Line Co. and the Indiana Pipe Line
Co. have approved a merger of the
oil carrier concerns and propose a
corporate link with the Northern
Pipe Line Co. of Pennsylvania and
the New York Transit Co., it was
disclosed today in an application
filed with the utilities commission.
Buckeye Pipe Line applied for au-
thority to issue 1,352,000 shares of
no-par value common stock Of
this, 10000 shares would be ex-
changed with Indiana Pipe Line
holders on five-for-two basis,
10000 shares with Northern and
100000 shares with New York
Transit.
Under the merger, stockholders in
the old Buckeye corporation would
receive five shares of new Buckeye
stock for each share of old. While
without par value, the new Buckeye
Pipe stock is to have a stated value
of SO a share.
Buckeye now has outstanding
100000 shares of common stock of
$50 par value Indiana Pipe Line
has outstanding 100000 shares of
common of $3.50 par value. which
is to be exchanged for 10000 shares
of the new Buckeye issue. In addi-
ton, Indiana stockholders are to
receive $3.50 share in cash from
Indiana.
Stephen c. Thayer, Cleveland at
torney representing Buckeye, said
the new corporation would be called
the Buckeye Pipe Line Co., and ex-
planned that present plans provide
for acquisition of the Pennsylvania
and New York companies as Buck
eye subsidiaries. Stockholders of
Northern Pipe Line and New York
Transit are to act on the proposal
later, Thayer said.

For Thut Period
By EDWARD c. STONE.

For the frs time In many years
November bank clearings in the

spending month in the previous

ing $731, ,74394 under the clearings

H. Bright, manager of the WASH

reported today.
In the IL months ended Novem-
Der 30, however. clearings in the
Capital broke all previous records
for that period. In this period
Cancelled checks totaled 1859 .699,-
90146, against s1.583,5 ,558174S7 in
the same months last year, a SEN
sational gain of $116.141.726 SO.
Clearings were also we'll above the
Inflated stock trading year 1929,
when they totaled S1,365 ,316, ,098. IA
in II months.
Commenting on the small No
vember decrease, bankers said to-
day that many of the early war
contracts have now been completed,
making dent in clearings here.
Government workers have been
transferred to other cities, and
those taking their places have not
kept their checking accounts as
active, bank officials suggested.
Both bankers end merchants in
sisted the decrease was not due to
any letdoWn in the present war
time business boom in the city.
With one month. to go, it appears
certain clearings in the Capital will
record a gain of more than $116,-

Red troops in smashing the enemy
lines on the central front.
Still another segment of the Nazis'
long line in Russia apparently was
being tested out, possibly as pre-
lude to a new Red Army stroke.
There were reports of scouting oper-
ations in the region of Bryansk,
about 220 miles southwest of Moscow.
(The German radio broadcast
that the Russians had scheduled
an attack for today southwest OF
Voronezh, the northern anchor of
the Nazi armies in Southern Rus
ria. 1t said German planes had
destroyed Soviet ammunition and
fuel stores in that area and had
attacked Red Army concentra-

Nazis Tell Of Tank Battle.
CThe German high command
reported today that embittered
fighting was raging in the Kali
min and Toropets sectors, north
west of Moscow, with the Rus
slams throwing tanks and newly
arrived reinforcements into the
struggle.
From November 20 to 30, the
communique listed 1920 Russian
tanks as destroyed there and on
other sectors of the eastern front.
Continuing Soviet attacks be-
tween the Don and Volga have
been frustrated, and at some
points the Russians have been
thrown back beyond their initial
positions, the high command
said)
Figures listed in the midday com
munique brought to $3.50 the toll OF
Axis dead in the Stalingrad area
alone, where some $1,000 have beer
reported taken prisoner. The tota!
of dead on the central front was in
creased by 1000, bringing the an
nounced total to 23,300 Prisoners in
that region have been numbered al
! 400.
Asserting that the offensives tr
the two sectors of the extended win.
try front continued in the same di.
rections as before" the Soviet au-
thorities acknowledged that the
Germans had offered resistance anc
had attempted counterattacks.
In the southern outskirts of Sta.
lingrad, our troops repelled severa
enemy attacks" the communique
said.
Nazi Tanks Dispersed.
In another sector northwest o.
Stalingrad. "our troops dispersed
enemy tanks which tried to attack
our positions. Southwest of Stain.
grade our troops advanced. Ar
enemy attempt to check the advance
failed"
Enemy resistance was overcome
west of Moscow as the advancing
Red columns occupied several In
habited but unspecified localities
the Russians claimed, and added
very heavy fighting took place fol
every one Of these places"
The Moscow radio asserted that
Germans on the central front hac
received orders not to retreat under
any circumstances. The broadcas,
said that machine-gun detachment.
had been posted to open fire on any
German units attempting to move
back.
The Russian midday communique
| claimed that the action in the
Stalingrad area had added the de.
struction of at least IS enemy tanks
and n firing points. Artillery and
nortars were used to smash the Axis
firing points.
Five guns, II machine guns anc
81 trucks were added to the Rus.

Milk
Continued From First Page)

that unless farmers get a substan-
tial increase in price, Washington
consumers are not going to have
enough fluid milk to meet their most
minimum wants. However, this sit
uation is not confined to Washing
ton but is Nationwide and is the
result of the dairy farmers inability
to pay the wages necessary to keep
help on the farm and to meet the
many other increases in the cost of
producing milk"
Cost Increase Outlined.
Mr. Derrick explained that labor
and feed together comprised be-
tween tWo-thirds and three-fourths
of the total cost of producing milk
in this section. "Since January,
1941, farm wage rates in this milk
shed have increased 48 per cent for
monthly help and 88 per cent for
day help" he stated: during the
same period the prices of important
dairy feeds have increased around
40 per cent. 1t is conservative to say
that since January, 194l, the local
dairy farmers costs of labor and
feed have increased an average of at
least so per cent. Yet the price of
fluid milk to producers has only in
creased II per cent. The retail
price of milk delivered to homes
has increased per cent and in
stores the price has gone UP As
per cent.
"Offlcials in the Federal Govern
ment have decision to make. They
must decide whether to increase
prices to dairy farmers to enable
them to maintain their production,
or let production keep on shrinking
and thus Great a dangerous shortage
OF dairy products for ourselves and
our Allies. The dairy farmer and his
representatives can no longer accept
the responsibility Of feeding this and
other nations unless the price is
high enough to pay the labor and
buy the feed necessary for produc-
ton"
Nearby Controversy Ended.
Concurrently it was made known
that a compromise agreement be-
tween the Embassy Fairfax Dairy
and the Maryland-Virginia associa-
ton was to be signed late today.
settling their controversy over the
latter's failure to meet terms of q
contract to deliver 5000 gallons of
milk daily to the dairy.
Robert E. Lynch, attorney for the
dairy, said the compromise was very
satisfactory and that the dairy will
have plenty of milk" He added
there also had been included salts
factory adjustment on the over
charge for milk delivered.
Mr.. Lynch and Elwood Seal, at
torney for the association, declined
to disclose terms of the compromise
The compromise will result in the
dairy dropping District Court suit
to force the association to live up tc
its contract. In answering the suit
the association pointed to the diff
Guilty that was being encountered ir
