STEEL LEADER TESTIFIES
Pittsburgh. Just a few minutes
conversation between two steel mag
nates "Gene" and "Charlie" was
required in 1921 to smooth out a bad
tangle that threatened to disrupt the
?21,000,000 Bethlehem Stcel-McClin-tic
Marshall merger.
Eugene G. Grace, Eethlehsm's pres
ident, made this disclosure in testi
mony before the tax appeals board
hearing Andrew W. Mellon's income
tax case.
The transaction first suggested at
a water melon party in 1930 near
ly fell thru, Grace related, and he
called Charles D. Marshall of the
McClintic-Marshall to New York to
talk matters over. Grace continued:
"I said 'Charlie, our people are
afraid there might be some hidden
EEOSION FIGHT SUPPOETED
liabilities in your concern. We
couldn't be called upon to take this
on a 'pig in a poke' basi3 j-ou know."
"And he said 'Gene, there isn't
any such thing in it.'
"I said, 'Well, Charlie, if you'll
give me your word, I'll give our peo
ple the word to go ahead. " Thus the
transaction, which Grace said had
been suggested by him to Marshall
at the water melon party, finally was
agreed upon on Jan. 22, 1931, and
consummated on Feb. 10.
Grace came from New York as a
government witness in its $3,089,000
income tax case against Mellon, who
owned a 30 percent interest in McClintic-Marshall.
Approximately $1,
800,000 of its additional tax bill for
1931 against Mellon hinges on the
McClintic-Marshall transaction.

Carl Cliriswisser and Miss Ruth
Ferrie motored to Auburn to a birth

Washington. The Lousa com
pleted congressional action on legis
lation to make permanent President
Roosevelt's emergency soil erosion
measures and sent it to the white
house for his approval.
"This bill establishes a permanent
agency or service," Chairman Jones
of the house agriculture committee
and author of the measure, said. "It
translates the temporary orders al
ready in effect into something per
manent." The president, by executive order
consolidated all 'soil erosion activi
ties in the agriculture department
three weeks ago when severe dust
storms became serious.
The house accepted without de
bate minor changes in the bill sug
gested by the senate. Secretary Wal
lace would be ordered to create a
"soil conservation service" to handle
all phases of wind and water erosion
and to utilize funds and personnel cf
the present soil erosion service,
which was transferred from the in
terior department.
DRIVE CANAL WORKERS OFF

North Platte. Trouble Ccvtlcped
between farmers near the Koystoikj
diversion dam of th3 Platte Valley
public power and irrigation district
and officials of the district when Eu
gene Feltz and Nichlus Reckius,
armed with guns, drove canal work
ers from their farms.
Feltz and Beckius claim, accord
ing to project cfticials, the condemn
ation of their land was not leal and
regular. Donald D. Price, chief en
gineer and general manager of the
project, said the district had follow
ed the orders of the county court and
that money for the land was wait
ing for the farmers. Contractors told
Price the delay in work is rusting
the district $1,500 a day. The diver
sion dam episode and a controversy
in Keith county have been the only
troubles so far encountered. Price
said.
"It seems as tho Keith county doe3
not want the project," Price said.
"Paxton has given the project 100
percent co-operation and there has
not been a single complaint from th
Sutherland reservoir to the big cut."
