of themselves, Lehman Broth

Dunn declared.
It contemplated a value Of
$50 a share for the Garflnckel
stock, which was to be ex-
changed for 5 per cent, prob
ably 15-year debentures OF
GENESCO. The debentures
would have been convertible
into GENESCO, Inc, common
stock at a premium over the
current market, Mr.. Dunn said.
Dividend Increased
Directors decided the pro-
posal was not attractive enough
to warrent appointment Of a
committee to negotiate regard
ing the matter and instead
raised the cash dividend to
$1.80 a share from 81 and
eliminated the year-end stock
dividend, Mr.. Dunn pointed
out.
"The book value of our COM
mon stock as of May 81 was
approximately $2S a share. but
its real net asset value is, in
my opinion, at least $4S per
share and under certain cir
cumstances could be consider
ably in excess Of this figure" !"
| he emphasized.
Mr.. Dunn referred appar-
emily to real estate items which
are carried on the company's
balance sheet at values con-
sidered we'll below current mar
ket value. The market price
of Garfinckel shares responded
to the cash dividend increase
by rising from a low of $22 a
share to slightly above $50 a
share before settling back to
around $28.
"Our earnings for the current
fiscal year ending July 81, will
be entirely satisfactory after
pre-opening expense of the two
new stores opened last August
and other homecoming eX-
pense," Mr.. Dunn continued.
Sees Net Of So a Share
Next year our earnings
should be about SO per share
and I hope they will increase
materially in 1862 and 1868.
Capitalized at IL times earn
ings, which I think is fair and
realistic, this would indicate a
value of $37 to $43 a share"
The company will open a
new Brooks Brothers store in
Pittsburgh on August is and
this with the two stores opened
last August should materially
improve earnings, Mr.. Dunn
added.
I'VE have had a long record
Of excellent earnings and our
stock has q high investment

small amount of preferred

B. C. Lawmaker Tries For Hardtopping Road To Match Alaska Section

VICTORIA, B. C., R - A mem Der of the B. c. Legislature last night said if something isn't done about hardtopping the road be- tween Hyder, Alaska, and Stew art, B. C., Canadians are going to look pretty silly.
 William Asselstine said Stew art is being connected through the northern hinterland by a road to Cassiar. But aside from this it is the only B. c. community that can claim short road connection with Alaska
 The road to Hyder was two miles long on the Canadian side. It had been blacktopped years ago, but the hard surface has since worn off. Now the new State of Alaska is going to blacktop the road right up to the B. c. border, Asseltine said, adding it was all going to be very embarrassing un- less something was done.

Striking Hollywood Actors Demand Share of Movies
 Sold for nv Showing

HOLLYWOOD, R - A star studded actors strike went into second day Tuesday with both sides predicting a long, costly and as they say in Hollywood = colossal battle.
 At the heart of the dispute was an old movieland bogeyman: tele- vision.
 The 4,000-member Screen Act ors Guild wants extra pay for television showings of post-1948 films.
 The strike has shut down pro- duction at seven studios. Among the 5000 workers idled: Marilyn Monroe, Fred Astaire, Bing Cros- by, Elizabeth Taylor and Alan Ladd.
 Like this tinsel town itself, the strike had its uncommon aspects: no picket lines, no demonstrations and some production continued.
 Some, like Frank Sinatra and Tony Curtis, wore two hats = producer and actor = and backed the strikers. Their independent companies have signed contracts with the SAG.

May 6 Is Date Set for Margaret's Wedding

LONDON, R - Princess Mar garet and Antony Armstrong Jones will be married May in stately Westminster Abbey, tra- ditional setting for many high ceremonies of British royalty.
 The glamorous Princess named the day today.
 She and the young commone-, who until recently was a society photographer, will be pronounced man and wife by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Godfrey Fisher.
 An announcement from Clar- ence House, the Princess home, said her brother-in-law, Prince Philip, husband of Queen Eliza beth IT, will give the bride away.
 The announcement touched off widespread enthusiasm.
 A repetition of the splendid pageantry of Queen Elizabeth's coronation was expected, with dis tinguished and humble visitors Hooking into London from the ends of the earth.
 It is generally expected that Armstrong-Jones will ge elevated to the peerage, probably as mar quess, before the wedding.

U. s. Has No Early Missile Detection,
 Says NORAD Head

ANCHORAGE, R-The United States at the present time has no means of detecting incoming enemy ballistic missiles nor of de- stroying such missiles, Gen. Laur- ence s. Kuter, commander in chief of the North American Defense Command CNORAD) said yester- day
 Kuter, who has just completed a 1O-day inspection tour of DEW Line stations, talked of missiles and missile detection at a press conference at Elmendorf Air Force Base.
 During his inspection tour he stopped at the two ballistic mis- sile Early Warning Stations CBMEWS) now under construc- tion at Clear and Thule, Green land.
 Antimissile missiles are in the research and development stage now but it is not anticipated they will be operational before 1864, Kuter said.
 The NORAD commander sees 1864 as the period of great po- tential danger for the nation.
 'This is the period we believe that the missile threat will become the prime threat against our na- tion - until that time we are naked to an ICBM attack" he said
 The prime threat today against the North American continent is the manned bomber armed with either the conventional nuclear bomb or with the so-called stand off missile" armed with nuclear warhead, Kuter said.
 The latter weapon enables the attacking bomber to come within four to five hundred miles of the target and release missile toward the target.
 BMEWS site construction at Thule is far ahead of the Clear work because of last years strike in Alaska, the general said.
 "At Clear, the strike of last season set the program back but military authorities and contrac- tor representatives are optimistic that they can pick up some of the ground that was lost last year - I personally hope so because the North American continent needs that warning system at the earliest possible date it can get it," Kuter said.

More Speculation, More Questions Heard on Raising Gold Price
From Dept. of Mines Bulletin)

F'rom Dept. of Mines Bulletin)
 The interest in gold continues to grow. Petitions are being cir culated in Alaska for .$l05 gold. A memorial has passed the State House for gold subsidy.
 More and more questions and speculations are being heard as to what effect various raises in the price of gold would have. The extra-large outflow of gold from the US. Treasury is pointed out by many as a reason why the price should be raised.
 One authority says that gold has mostly gone to Europe where it has helped stabilize the cur rencies there, which is good, but that this has resulted in the US. making payments that we cannot afford indefinitely. These large gold payments have brought about an entirely new situation in world finance that calls for a new appraisal of domestic and international financial and econ omic policies.
 The willingness of the people of other countries to hold dollars rather than gold depends upon their confidence in the US. and the US. Federal Reserve System. Now that the economies of other industrial nations are strong, the US. is discovering that it is not as easy to settle it's accounts as formerly, and that it is subject to Acknowledgements discipline the same as the other nations.
 With regard to the Federal Re- serve System, another authority has pointed out that it has been able to help us out of the reces- sions of 1949, 1854, and 1857 by reducing interest rates - thereby making money and credit easier and cheaper. Then in inflation- ary times, the FRB has put clamps on money and credit to slow things down. Now, however, the FIRE may no longer be able to carry out these manipulations,
 If we should have a recession, and the FRB should again lower interest rates, the action could cause foreigners to withdraw their balances, especially if in- terest rates are higher in other countries At the same time, hold CTS of dollars all over the world could lose confidence in US. fin ancial affairs and start a money panic The rush to convert dollars to gold would commence So the FRB will have to make future moves much more carefully and may find it has lost it's power to counteract receSsions.

U. S. Fails Again
To Send Satellite
Around the Moon

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. ~
The United States failed for the
sixth straight time to send satel-
lite around the moon yesterday
when a giant rocket exploded in
flight.
The spectacular blast ended a
four-shot Atlas-Able carrier
rocket program = $40 million
failure. 1t will be several months
before U. S. space scientists have
another favorable chance to make
the shot.
American space scientists now
must await development of more
powerful rockets, expected next
summer, for future moon launch
ings.
The 10-story tall rocket, carry
ing a 388-pound space craft in its
nose, rose smoothly from its
Observation-Disclosures pa d at
All a. m. The satellite was packed
with electronic instruments de-
signed to make the most extensive
study ever attempted of the
moons environment.
The huge rocket appeared to
be flying true course for 70
seconds. Suddenly it lurched
violently and erupted with
binding flash that illuminated the
Atlantic Ocean and its beaches
for several miles.
A massive ball of red-orange
fire hung seemingly motionless
thousands of feet in the sky for
several seconds as tons of fuel
consumed in a boiling inferno.
Flaming pieces of the rocket
spiraled into the Atlantic several
miles offshore.
The rockets extremely difficult
mission was to hurl the space
craft to the moon 100000 miles
away in 60 hours.
The failure made the moon an
elusive target for U. S. missile
men who had propelled five
earlier rockets toward it without
success-and leaves the Soviet
Union with a commanding lead in
the field of space exploration.
Soviet scientists last year hit
the moon with Lunik II and took
the first picture of its hidden
backside with Lunik III, wide
swinging earth satellite which
passed behind the moon on its
first orbit.
