sufficient enthusiasm for the job.
Mr.. Sophoulis himself is most
optimistic. He told me today that

American troops to fight alongside
their forces He said that he did
not wish to bring foreign troops to
Greece at this juncture and that
anyway, trial balloons had proved

he had requested that the United

u. : Steel Declares
75c Special Dividend
First Since 1929
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-United
States Steel Corp. yesterday an
nounced its first special dividend
since 1929 and raised its common
stock from 81 to IS annual basis
in an action which Chairman Irving
S. Olds said reflects our confidence
in the future"
Yesterdays declarations by the
directors, SIPS share on common
stock instead of the usual 81, plus
the special dividend of rs cents a
share, brought total disbursements
for 1947 to IS a share. Both divi-
dends were made payable December
10 to holders of record November
7. The stock has paid 81 share
since 1941.
Mr. Olds at press conference
described the action as evidence that
I'VE don't feel that the early depres-
sion some people have forecast for
us is likely to happen"
% Million Net for Quarter.
"I think" Mr.. Olds said, that
what We have been doing right along
to enlarge and modernize our facili-
ties "a program involving about
$500, 100000 expenditures expresses
our faith in the future of this coun-
try and the future of our business,
and should indicate that we don't
think there is any depression around
the corner"
The corporation reported the net
income for the third 1947 quarter of
$2S, ,735 ,o82, equal to $258 a share,
compared with $33, ,329, 1853, or $311
a share, in the similar period year
ago. The first nine months of 1947
showed total net income of $97, ,306,-
461, or $901 a common share, against
$57, ,467 1894 or SAB a share last year,
when operations were affected by
strikes.
Mr.. Olds said that for the next
year the outlook was for continuing
high demand for almost all kinds
of steel. Operations of the corpo-
ration this week were scheduled at
1O15 per cent of rated ingot capac-
ity. Third-quarter production was
reported at 9O.2 per cent, against
98.1 for the preceding period. The
July stoppage of coal production,
plus a strike, affected third-quarter
operations.
Shipments Set Record.
Shipment of finished steel pro-
ucts, the company reported, set
new peacetime record of 14,940,667
net tons in the first three quarters
of 1947 and represented more than
SO per cent of the total 1916 ship
mentS
Products and services sold totaled
81 SGT ,297,218 over the nine months
of 1947 against $1,O24 ,276 ,606 in the
similar 1916 period.
Directors declared the quarterly
dividend of SITS a share on pre-
ferred stock, payable November 20
to holders of record November 3.

Geneva Trade Agreement

try. The maximum penalty is life

One of DR.. Maniu's associates, Ion
Mihalace, former president of the
Peasant Party, announced to the
court that he was renouncing all de.
fense for reasons he would give later
in the trial.
Named in the indictment as
members of the American espion-
age service" were Maj. Thomas Hall
and First 1t. William Hamilton,
former members Of the American
Mission in Romania. The name of
Gen. Courtland van Rensselaer,
Schuyler. former chief of the mis-
sion, also was mentioned several
times in the indictment.
Confessions Declared Given.
The indictment charged that
alleged confessions from three per-
sons-Baron Ion Mocsonyi-Styrcea,
Victor acknowledgement and
Radu -Buzesti - showed
that Maj. Hall and 1t. Hamilton
maintained permanent contact with
members of the Peasant Party both
in Romania and abroad.
It charged further that "the
American espionage service" organ
lied the flight of Nicolescu-Buzesti
and Constantin Visoianu, former
Romanian cabinet ministers, from
the country by American plane.
They were accused of escaping to
organize a committee abroad to
overthrow the present R2manian
