See Further Mergers. As important as this merger is, how- ever, financial leaders sce it as only the forerunner to further combinations with the Youngstown Sheet & Tube o1 Youngstown and the Inland Steel of Chicago forming a corporation whicn would rank in production above Betn- lehem Steel and second only to the United States Steel Corporation. The new organization, to be know: | as the Republic Steel Corporation, will have combined sales of $250,000,000 and a producing capacity of 4,900,000 Steel ingot tons annually.

Bourne-Fuller Co. of Cleveland, nut and bolt manufacturers, Girdler Heads Board. 1 Through its ownership by the Re- | public Iron & Steel and the Cleveland Cliffs Corporation, the Trumbull Clifis Furnace Co. of Warren, Ohio, becomes an important link in the merger. ‘T. M. Girdler, former president or tne Jones & Laughlin Steel Corpora- tion, will become chairman of the board and E. T. McCleary, president of the Republic Iron & Steel, president. The physical properties will include 14 blast furnaces, 67 open-hearth fur- naces, 633 coke ovens, 16 rolling mills, 160 finishing mills and raw reserves of 125,000,000 tons of ore, 165,000,000 tons of coal and 30.000.000 tons of lime- stone and dolomite. There will be 14 major plants, having an immense v: riety of products, located at Youngs: town, Warren, Niles, Canton, Massillon and Cleveland, Ohio; Chicago and Mo- line, Ill; Detroit, Buffalo, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, Birmingham and Muncie, Eaton, the guiding hand in the merger, came here from Nova Scotis in 1907, almost ‘unknown. Quietly he worked his way upward to a partner- ship in Otis & Co. and engineered u number of successful steel operations before last night's merger made him one of the outstanding men of the industry. TAYLOR APPOINTED GRUNDY SECRETARY| Aide to Senator Penrose Will Serve as Assistant to Penn- sylvania Senator Joseph R. Grundy of Penn- $ylvania today announced the appoint- ment of Leighton C. Taylor, formerly of Philadelphia, now an attorney of| Washington, as his secretary. Mr. Tay- 16r for several years was secretary to the late Senator Penrose. Senator Grundy was a Penrose lieu- tenant. As aide to Senator Penrose Mr. Taylor was a prominent figure in many of the campaigns waged by Pen- rose in Pennsylvania. When the ap- pointment of Mr. Grundy by Gov. Fish- er to the vacancy in the Senate due to the rejection of William S. Vare was announced the understanding among politicians of the State was that Grun- dy would select Taylor for his assistant. The new secretary is a native of Pennsylvania, where he formerly taught school. Later he joined the forces of the Westinghouse interests in Pitts- burg, resigning his position there to accept a place on Senator Penrose's staff. After the death of Senator Pen- rose he took the law course at George Washington University and was ad- mitted to the bar of the District of Columbia. He is a member of the Delta Theta Phi Fraternity. —_— A church service organized and con- ducted entirely by children is being held every Sunday at Wealstone, England.

'IQUOR CAR TAKEN AFTER LONG CHASE Montgomery Police Trying to Stop Flow of Rum for Christmas. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. SLIGO, Md., December 18.—Whil» attempting to stem the flow of Christ- mas liquor which has been running through Montgomery County for the District of Columbia under the protec- tion of clouds of poison gas, Montgom- | ery County police early today, after an exciting chase, picked up a small roadster filled with alleged liquor. This is the first chase in weeks in which the alleged liquor car has not been equipped with some form of smoke and gas for the purpose of retarding the officers. Several of the policemen attached to the northern district po- lice station here have been made vio- lently ill by the discharge of the fumes | from the exhaust of the chased cars.: Many of them have had their eyes and lips swollen for a considerable time after they had been forced to give up the chase. Start of Chase. This morning's chase started just west of Snell's Bridge, a short distance from Ashton. Two small cars and a large car came through in a group. Policeman Joseph Nolte and Charles T. Barnes, who were patrolling in the vicinity, got behind the three cars. When Ashton was reached, the large car attempted to block the two police vehicles. However, the policemen steered around the blocked car and fol- Jowed on the road to Olney, succeed- ing in overtaking the two small cars. ‘After getting on the straightaway on the Brookeville road south, the police cars overtook one of the alleged liquor~ laden vehicles and continued a neck- and-neck run to a point near Aspen, during which the driver of the car be- ing chased sought to throw the pnlice vehicles off the road. As a final resort, the police shot into the tires and the vehicle was unable to"make much head- ay. but even then the occupants at- tempted to throw the police cars off the road. Forced Into Curb. Later the two police vehicles were driven close to the liquor-laden vehicle and forced him into a culvert, where- upon the driver jumped out and ran across the field, but was captured after a chase of about a quarter of a mile. The driver of the car gave the name of Andrew Standfield, colored, 23 years old, and said he resides on Columbia road, Washington. The police found in the car 240 quarts of alleged liquor and placed five charges against fhe man, holding him for $1,000 bond. The charges were transportation of intoxi- cating liguor with intent to sell, operat- ing without a license, reckless driving, no registration card in his possession and displaying markers issued to an- other car. The vehicle had District of C;)l:lmbll tags covered with Maryland plates.

GROGAN'S COMPLETE PLANS ‘FOR TREE LIGHTING Mixed Choir to Lead Carol|Today Is Last for Sale of| Singing, Led by Dr. Barnes. Plans for the lighting of Washing- ton's community Christmas tree were virtually complete today. The commit- tee, headed by Miss Sibyl Baker, com- munity Center Department director, was making final preparations for an observ- ance which is to be featured by Christ- mas carol singing. Lighting of the tree has been a com- munity event since 1923. President Hoover .is to preside at the exercises. A mixed choir from the junior high schools will lead the carol singing, ,di- rected by Dr. Edwin N. C. Barnes, music director of the public schools. The United States Marine Band will accom- pany the singing and render a concert in the half hour before President and Mrs. Hoover arrive. The tree is to be lighted at 6 o'clock. ‘The Girl Scouts of the District will decorate the tree Monday afternoon. Maa dintine svetem will be installed under supervision of a special commit- » .+ oy .

LITTLE GIRL BRINGS FIRST LADY SEALS Christmas Stamps in Stores. Mrs. Herbert Hoover yesterday re- | celved her personal stock ot Christmas seals. They were delivered to her by Miss Nancy Leech, 7-year-old daughter of Representative and Mrs. Russell Leach of Penn- sylvania, the little girl being dressed in the costume of a health crusader. An envelope con- taining 200 pen- nies was brought to the Christmas seal headquarters in Social Service House, 1022 Eleventh street northwest, Tuesday by a woman, who said the coppers were to pay for 200 Christmas seals that had been sent to her by mail. ‘Today is the tast day of the store and bank seal booths served by volunteer teams of women, except the one at Woodward & _Lothrop's department store, near the F street entrance, which the Junior League girls will keep going until Christmas day. Sales of the booths bave been good and with the money so far reported by them, plus the pay- ments by mail, the seal managers have received to this morning enough cash to pay for considerably over 2,300,000 seals toward the goal of 4,000,000 seals necessary to keep the health campaign of the Tuberculosis Association going through the year 1930. Additional airplane demonstration missions are to be sent from the United States to Latin America. ! MUSIC “DAWN IN THE DESERT” IS GIVEN. The Christmas cantata, written by R. Deane Shure, “Dawn in the Desert,” was given first performance in its revised form at the Mount Vernon Place Meth- odist Episcopa! Church Soutb last night. A very large audience attended the performance. The work will be given tonight in Takoma Park and again on Sunday. An unusually large chorus presents these performances, the regular choir of the Mount Vernon Place Church being augmented by a large group of singers from churches in Ta- koma Park, giving a total of about 115 singers. Mr. Shure conducted and Edith Gottwals played the accompani- ment on the organ admirably, The Rev. Dr. William A. Lambeth, minister of the church, read the text inspiring, each selection preceding its performance. ‘This work is not great music perhaps, but it is very interesting programmatic or descriptive writing. It has many moments of rich inspiration. “The Song of “e Shepherds” is beautiful and the “Divine Lullab; for women’s voices, written in Neapolitan style, is a number that might well be lifted for clubs’ per- formances. Mr. Shure seemed particu- larly inspired in writing for women’s voices, for again in both the alto and soprano solos—“The Song of Mary” and “Ye Heavenly Choirs”—there is un- usually singable music. Matilda Kolb, the contralto, who has a big, rich tone, sang her solo very well. Elvina Neal Rowe, soprano, was handicapped by & severe cold, yet her high notes were true and she gave a colorful interpre- tation to her solo. One of the most unusual numbers was the baritone solo, “The Valley of the Slain.” This subject Mr. Shure treated musically in a thoroughly masculine style, rather after the chantey effect that Oley Speaks and Deems Taylor have put into their songs for men. Arthur Tabbutt sang the number ex- ceptionally well. The baritone solo im- mediately following this number, with male chorus, suggested soft-footed pad- ding of the camels which bore the Wise Men in the accompaniment. Howard P. Bailey sang the solo part.
