Stepanovna Kosenklna's leap from the Russian consulate yesterday. The Communist Party organ carried the story on Page 2 under a three-column headline at the bottom of the page. Its front-page headline story read "Pupils Gypped by Milk Hew Tram, Bus Centlnaed from Pace One. Chairman Creightan. a retired bank manager, probably wilt be aftound the commission office more.

Little seemed outwardly changed this morning In what used to be the OER head offices on the sixth floor of the Ottawa Electric Building. -There was one tell-tale change. though, quickly spotted by any body familiar with those offices. The door of the office where Frank Abeam used to sit was closed. He usually kept It open, and so did Allan T.

Lewis, who recently succeeded him aa OER president. But this morning the door was closed, and behind it the com missi oners were holding their first operating conference. The rest of the offices all open to the public, with no closed doors blocking the -view seemed the same as always, except there could be detected a faint sugges tion of that firt-day-at-achool atmosphere. Although the switch-over was to cost nobody his Job, old OER employes this morning didn look to be Jumping with orat the change in the 97-year-oid enter prise. OER Wind-Up la 15.

It will take at least two years to wind up OER affairs, although there was some prospect of share holders receiving an interim pay ment There are some 140.000 shares of OER stock to be redeemed. At the $6,000,000 price the City of Ottawa paid for the system, those shares would be roughly worth $43 aach. Largest shareholders are Mr. rAhearn, Senator Norman Paterson and Montreal Star-Standard Publisher John McConneU. When finally paid off.

share holders might be netting as much as $46 and $47 for their stock, since the OER has considerable "non-transit assets" which 'will be liquidated. Nen -Transit Assets. These "non transit assets" which the city did not buy In clude some 66 acres near Hurd-man's Bridge, the old Bell Telephone building on Queen street; a building on Albert street a home on Holrawood avenue and three houses near, the Nelson street sub-station. Other "loose-ends' the OER will tidy" up in liquidating include some $500,000 In refundable excess profits tax, not due to payment until March of 1930. Another influence In delaying final liquidation will be the speed or slowness of the Federal Dis trict Commission Is settling for the S3 acres of land at Hurdman's Bridge the OER recently pur chased as a site for Its shops and a housing development.

Some $70,000 should be real ized from those S3 acres. Before anything can be done In redeeming OER stock, the directors must meet and ask the courts for appointment of a com pany liquidator. Regardless of what unavoid able delays might result through the excess profits tax credit and the FDC expropriation of the Hnrdmin Bridge properties. wind-up of the OER will be hurried with all possible speed. This Is certain, since some of the largest shareholders are officers of the company, and will be Just as anxloua as anyone else to receive their money.

In addition to live cattle, Canadian beef, and beef by-products may also find a market in the United States un der the new duty rate of three cents per pound established by the Geneva agreement Instead of the. old rate of six cents per pouna. As to the number of cattle which might be exported to the United States, It was pointed out that in the year 1944 exports of beef, mainly to Great Britain.

were equivalent to more than 600,000 head of cattle. Since that time export surpluses have drop ped off until, in the seven months of this year, exports amounted Xo the equivalent of only 33,000 head of cattle. However, In recent weeke cattle mar ketings have been on the increase, and there Is no doubt that there will be a substantial seasonal surplus of beef in Canada during the remainder of this year.

Situation In U.S. WASHINGTON, Aug.

13. CP Lifting of Canadian export control of beef- cattle and calves will have little, if any, immedUte effect on meat supplies and prices in the United SUtes, officials here said today. Canada has no great numbers of cattle available for immediate export. United SUtes officials said in an announcement i The announcement said it is believed Canada may be able to ship the United SUtes about 100,. 000 head by the end of the year.

This number compares with an estimated 32,000,000 head ex pected to be slaughtered for meat in the United SUtes this year. Most of the cattle will be of a type commonly called that is, cattle which usually are kept on feed for. a while for further fattening. Because of the United SUtes' prospective record corn crop, to gether with a shortage of feeder cattle, the Canadian animals will be welcomed, especially by cattle feeders in the corn belt In the 1937-1941 period, prior to esUbllshment of the embargo, the number of cattle, other than dairy and breeding classes, exported to the United SUtes averaged about 220,000 head a year. The Canadian cattle will be subject to an import duty of 1.5 cenU a pound and dressed beef and veal at three cents a pound.

The United SUtes Agriculture Department said the Canadian cattle will help offset loss of imports from Mexico. The United SUtes haa an embargo on cattle from Mexico because of a foot-and-mouth disease 1 epidemic there. The prospective Canadian im ports this year would make up between one-fifth and one-fourth ot the cattle imported Xroru Mexico. France Wins 120-Mile Cycling Marathon WINDSOR Aug. 13.

Whether, these prices will prevail will depend on the number of cattle shipped to the United SUtes, he pointed out that shipping costs plds the duty rate of -three cenU a pound' will force pro- ducers to ship only their top grade beef cattle to the U3, as lower -grade animals would npt command a high enough price to clear expenses.

Consumer reaction to high prices might also tend to force beef i prices down after the initial increase, the official sUted.
