On Southern PROPOSAL

ATLANTA. July 10 (AP) =
-Four railroads today withdrew
their opposition to the proposed
purchase Of stock control of
the Central of Georgia Railway
by the Southern Railway.
The lines are the Louisville
and Nashville, Atlanta and West
Point, Seaboard and Western
of Alabama.
Spokesman announced the
change of policy at resumption
of an Interstate Commerce
Commission nearing on the
consolidation. All said they de-
sire to remain parties to the

promptly of it's progress.
Some apprehension of what
the merger might mean in Sa-
vannah, home office of Central,
was expressed by Attorney
John w. Sanders of Chatham
County.
Mr.. Sanders told Examiner
Bruce Card that the city and
county already have suffered
economically by reductions at

Price of $40

NEW YORK, July 10 (AP)-
An underwriting group led by
Kidder, Peabody & Co. today
fixed a price of $40 a share for
a secondary offering of 727,00O
shares of Bethlehem Steel Corp.
stock.
The block is believed to rep
resent the entire Bethlehem
holdings of Massachusetts In
vestorS Trust, the Nations old
est and second largest mutual
fund, although the fund has
declined to state whether it is
making the sale.
At $40 a share, the stock
being sold is worth over $29
million. NIT bought the stock
10 years ago at an average cost
equal to more than SIS on the
present shares. 1t was the
funds fourth largest holding
on March 81, the date of MIT'S
last report.
Several advisory services have
recently predicted that Bethle-
hem will cut it's 60-cent quar-
terly dividend when directors
meet late this month. The Co.
cent dividend has been paid
since 1857 but earnings have
not covered the sum in the last
three reported quarters and
possibly the April-June quarter.

YOUR

What Price Stability Means to Us

shrinkage in the dollars buy
ing power. Even after the tax
bite, your interest return will
put you at least moderately
ahead.
1t means that profitable in
vestment in stocks and other
risky mediums such as land
and real estate will demand
more knowledge and care be-
cause initiation is simply not
going to bail you out of your
errors.
Many a fool was rescued from
bankruptcy in the decade of
the 1950s by inflationary price
hikes but that's not to be
counted on now. There are
many and will be many top
notch purchases in stocks but
they'll be top-notch because
their managements and earn
lngs prospects justify their pur-
chase. The same rule applies
to land and real estate.
1t means that buyerS nj
houses will get more value per
dollar while sellers of houses
will find it harder to make a
profit.
There's no question that you
can get more quality and value
per house dollar than at any
time since before World War
II. But as every person trying
to sell houses knows, the any,
thing-goeS era is ancient his
tory.
1t means that those retired
or about to retire on pensions
can have greater faith that
their nesteggS will buy what
they figured they would.
The older person living on a
fixed income has been at the
bottom of the heap during this
entire postwar period but his
prospects are looking up. All
increases in pension benefits
will mean more in this era.

We are into a period of rela-
tive stability in the prices of
most things we must or want to
buy which is an absolutely new
experience to the vast majority
of living Americans.
Our cost of living, according
to the official Consumer Price
Index, is up less than per
cent from the level of a year
ago and the rise over this en-
tire year may turn out within
the l u per cent range. Beneath
the surface. there has been a
rash of cuts in both raw ma
terial and finished goods prices
which are not being fully re-
Iflected in the indexes. Corpora
tions frankly admit it's in
creasingly tough to pass along
higher costs to consumers in
the form of higher prices. The
climate in Washington is clearly
unfriendly toward wage or price
boosts which might revive in
flation.
We are not in a phase of in
flation and assuming we are
neither monumentally stupid
nor about to plunge into an
other major war, we're not fac
ing a phase of initiation in the
forseeable future.

He told the Interstate Com
merce Commission that such
an association, looking to ulti-
mate merger. is essential to
survival of the three lines.
He testified at an ICC hear
ing on rival bids by Central
and C&O to control the BRO.
Mr.. Perlman made these spe-
cific proposals for solution of
the conflict:
/. That any ICC control au-
thority granted be conditioned
on Central and C&O having
equal holdings in BIO land
therefore equal responsibilities
for its welfare"
2. That BIO Stockhoidings
of both C&O and Central be
placed with an independent

the merger desired by all three
railroads can be worked out, so
that none of the three part
ners would be hurt in the
interim by the adverse affects
of control"
His plan was advanced in
the wake of testimony by C&O
and BIO officials during the
last three weeks that they op-
posed an association with
Central at this time because
of Central's large debt.
They said a three-way COM

CLEVELAND, July 10 (AP)
AN average increase of 81
to SIS a ton on selected steel
products probably will take

occurs, Steel Magazine pre-
dicted yesterday.
The weekly journal of metal
working said sheets, plates and
structurals. which make up
about Al per cent of mill ship
ments, are the products most
likely to go up. Under more
competitive pressure and less
likely to rise are prices of re-
inforcing bars, merchant wire,
stainless steel and some man.
ufacturers' wire items, Steel
said.
Since the last base price ad-
juStment of $3.50 a net ton
in August, 1858, the average
price of finished steel has gone
down six-tenths on l per cent,
due mostly to recent price cuts,
the magazine reported.
Each steelworker's hourly
wages and fringe benefits have
risen 10 per cent since August,
1858. Steel said. and another
wage increase is scheduled for
next October /.
This weeks steel output will
be close to last weeks eSti-
mated 1,8 million tons, Steel
said, and third quarter produc-
ton should equal or exceed
slightly the Is million ingot

ter.
