The Laborite Daily Herald said he was reported chosen for the mission. The Daily Mail said the report came from Germans and was riot confirmed by British and American military sources. The Herald quoted ''persistent reports." The Graphic said "British And United States officials in Berlin are optimistic regarding the new Washington talks." The Mail remarked that.U.N. administration of Berlin would enable Russia to "keep its control over Berlin through veto in the Security Council," But it added: "Experts admit this is the most feasible plan yet advanced. permitting withdrawal from the present untenable position by both sides." Say Ma linin Urged Blockade The Graphic said Malinin was the man who advised Russia to set up the blockade.

The paper said he took part in the unsuccessful Berlin negotiations to end the tiepup. Those negotiations were followed by four-power talks in Moscow.

Some steelmakers think the downward trend is leveling off. some say it is without change and still others believe it is "snowballing," the trade publication reported. "Standard mill quotations have not yet been affected despite substantial contraction in buying." it said. "For the most part consumers are of the opinion standard steel products prices will be next to give way, though they do not look for a severe test of str.mgth until midyear." Prices on scrap continue to shrink. and "there is no sign as yet that the bottom has been reached," Steel said.

Premium rates have "just about disappeared on pig iron, with sellers scratching for business in the merchant market." Lukens Cuts Carbon Steel Plate Price COATESVILLE.

The woman was witnessing the marriage of her niece, Frances Sauer, 21, of 7 Walden Jamaica Plain, to James Kyne, 21, of 24 Wyvem Roslindale. Seated beside her was another child, Patricia Ann, 6. Her husband, William, was serving as an usher. The newly-weds postponed plans for their honeymoon. A scattering of people, unaware of what had taken place, appeared for the reception, which was held as scheduled.

take because otherwise taxes would absorb it anyway Largely this has come about. Mr. Friedman thinks, because control of boards of directors has passed out of stockholders' hands. Boards to-city. he says.

are of three sorts: inside control, window dressers and coteries of company officials. In none of these classifications do directors actually represent the stockeholders as a group. Mr. Friedman points out. This has made a mockery of the annual meeting.

where the stockholder a lone friendless soul-who kno4 from the beginning that the pile of proxies so carefully foregathered into the hands of the officials will kris the show." and not only at dividend policy. Corporate directorships which are management selected and controled are not healthy. They are coming to be resented by the small investor. to whom industry will be increasingly forced to go for its capital. Nor.

in the opinion of this writer. will the situation be helped much by such wisdom as the stockholder relations counselors who have recently appeared on the scene with their disks and dwarfs and columns, has shown to date. What is needed is a concept or democratic capitalism. not the annual report with whimsical and folksy appeal. Poor's natty below a year before.

largely reflecting reductions in packs. In the 12 months through February. 1949, the decline may have been somewhat sharper, as a result of some selling price concessions late in the period. Earnings experiences probably varied considerably; companies with important interests in salmon and pineapple probably benefited from price appreciation; margins of less diversified packers may have been squeezed somewhat by inventory write-downs on other lines. In all cases, however, profits are believed to have covered dividends adequately and to have compared favorably with recent years other than the 1947-48 fiscal period.

CORN COSTS DOWN SHARPLY The 21 percent decline in the total wet process corn grind in 1948 reflected competition from adequate cane sugar supplies and short corn stocks prior to the 1948 harvest. Higher corn costs early in the year narrowed profit margins sharply; despite improvement in the final quarter with declining corn prices, full-year earnings dropped well below a year before. Lower corn costs have since been reflected in price reductions on finished products which should stimulate volume. but are likely to cause further declines in dollar sales this year. Declines in corn costs have been sharper than selling price reductions.

however. and, over the near term, at least, year-to-year earning comparisons should be highly favorable. Operating results subsequently will depend upon the 1949 corn crop, but present divided rates appear secure for the time being. MAY LESSEN FISH DEMAND The 1948 Alaska salmon pack is indicated to have been the smallest since 1921 (the all-time low), at about 10 percent less than the 1947 pack of 4.3 million cases. Since unsold salmon stocks are small, present advanced selling prices should be maintained.

Thus, despite the reduction in volume. earnings of the salmon packers should hold at a high level over the near term. Some recession in selling prices is possible in the 3949-50 fiscal year. even in the event of another small pack. as a result of prospective decline in meat prices.

FURTHER INCREASES FOR EARNINGS Most divisions of the utility industry are likely to realize further earnings improvement. Combined net income of electric operating utilities in 1948 was $678 million. an increase of 3 percent over the $656 million in 1947. A further gain of 10 percent or more seems likely in 1949. reflecting rate increases.

more efficient operations in new plants. and declining fuel costs. FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES Last year was one of the most profitable in the history of Are insurance companies. This year should be equally favorable. despite the indicated general business recession.

Net investment income should reflect the record volume of invested assets. and underwriting conditions will still be favorable. Dividends declared by ti re insurance companies gained 38 percent in 1948. Great Northern Gross at AllTime High Grom revenue of the Great Northrn Railway attained an all-time gh in 1943 of 216 13 VIIon lars. 111 compared wit 111334 in 1247.

The it income was slightly more than 2712 million and five milhon greater than in 1247. The 1948 report also shows that: Fixed charges of 712 millions in 1248 were $175,000 Iqrs than the previous year and the lowest in 50 years. Operating expenses were slightly more than 162 millions or nearly 19 millions above 1947. The increase chiefly was attributed to higher wage and materials costs.
