Iron Products Put Under
Same Bans os Steel
Hy the Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press
Deliveries OF iron products may
be made only on military priority
ratings after May Is. the Govern
ment directed yesterday. At the
same time steps were taken to sus-
pend deliveries OF steel plates to
users having supplies on hand.
The priority action of the War
Production Board brought the coun-
try's 2,700 iron foundries under re-
strictions which previously applied
only to steel. No iron or steel prod
ucts may be delivered except on or
ders carrying an A-l0 preference
rating or higher.
The boards iron and steel branch
followed up a survey of steel plate
in the hands of shipyards and other
consumers with announcement that
those having excessive supplies
would receive no plate allocations In
May.
A constant check on inventories
of plates is being made, Branch
Chief C. z. Adams said, because
demands Of the emergency ship pro-
gram and other requirements con-
tinue at least so per cent higher
than plate production. Steel plate
output next month Is expected TO
reach an all-time peak of 900, 700
tons, he estimated.
A third action ordered the segre-
cation OF tin plate and tin alloy
scrap from other scrap being deliv-
cred TO steel mills. The order pro-
hibits the mixture of any tin bear
ing scrap in bundle or car of scrap
iron and steel.

NEW YORK, April 22.--The New

today 1t had temporarily suspended
from dealings the common stock OF
Pacific Finance Corp. of California.
The suspension followed an
nouncement. which appeared here
In dispatches In morning papers
Monday, that Trans-America Corp,
financial company controlled by the
Giannini interests OF San Francisco,
had offered TO exchange two shares
of Bank OF American National Trust

of National City Bank OF New York,
plus SIT share, for each share Of

Emil Schram, president OF the ex-
change, made the following an
nouncement concerning the sus-
pension;
AT a special meeting held this
morning the Board OF Governors of
the New York stock Exchange de-
termined to suspend temporarily
dealings in the common stock OF

This action was taken in view OF
the confusion which has developed
in the market for the common stock
following the making OF an exchange
offer by Transsmerica Corp, with
out provision for customary advance
notice to stockholders and to the

The sugar corporation, the presi-

Et ms As1Gci&kd Fress
The War Production Board took
an initial step yesterday toward
eventual forced conversion of about
So per cent of the cotton textile in
duStry TO war or essential civilian
production
Acting after months OF tnvestiga-
ton and study. w P. 3. ordered
from 20 to 100 per cent of the weav-
ing looms in textile mills now pro-
ducing various civilian cotton fab
RIGS shifted to manufacture of bag
ging for sand bags, camouf1sge cloth
and food and agricultural bags.
Cotton mills were granted up to
60 days in which to complete the
required change-over. which w. p.
B. said was necessary TO compensate
for losses Of burlap supplies. former
ly imported from India. and steadily
increasing military and farm de-
mands for bagging.
Many Items Affected.
No appreciable effect on civilian
fabrics for such goods as shirts.
sport clothes and towels was ex-
pected Immediately. However, off,
cials predicted that by next spring
such fabrics would present a uni
formly coarse appearance-particu-
larry apparent, for example, in ex-
pensive broadcloth shirts. At the
present time stocks of fine goods
are reported heavy.
Other civilian fabrics which will
be affected include those for dra-
peries. upholstery, tapestry, outing
flannel. athletic uniforms, sheeting
and bed ticking.
Textile experts said they expected
the conversion program to prove a
boon to cotton farmers, In the form
of an increased consumption of raw
cotton and expansion of the use of
part-waste and lower grade cotton.
Although farmers now have no diff
Guilty in disposing of high quality
cotton, they. find little demand for
poorer grades.
Half of Capacity Converted.
As supplement to yesterdays
order, which in effect converts about
so per cent Of the cotton textile
sindustry's capacity to war orders,
w p. B. will issue future instruc-
tions specifically assigning additional
capacity to production of certain
essential civilian fabrics-such as
denim, used in manufacture of over
alls and work clothes.
Issuance of these orders will bring
the total war or essential civilian
output of weaving mills TO slightly
more than 38 per cent OF capacity.
The percentage remaining will be
devoted to ordinary civilian produc-
ton.
Reaction from the cotton textile
industry was generally favorable.
