To Meet Competition
§y th* Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 29.—The Beth
lehem Steel Co. has reduced prices
*1 to $3 a ton on more than two
dozen of its products “to meet com
petition.” »
The price cuts on the selected list
of steel products came one week
after Bethlehem raised its steel
prices $2 to $12 a ton. following a
similar increase by United States
Steel.
In the price reductions, the great
est decrease was $3 a ton on gal
vanized copper bearing culvert
sheets. Items reduced by $2 a ton
included carbon cold rolled strip,
hot rolled alloy bars, joint bars and
rails and tie plates for rails over 60
pounds per yard. Reductions of $i
a ton were made on railway axles,
standard and light tee rails, and hot
rolled carbon sheets.
Said the company: “The adjust
ment in price was made in order
to meet competition which we found
to exist in certain of our products.
Meanwhile a pay increase of 5
per cent for approximately 3,800
salaried employes in the Bethlehem
Steel Co.'s east coast shipyards was
announced today.
D. D. St.rohmeier. vice president
in charge of Bethlehem's shipbuild
ing,said employes affected are those
in the Baltimore, Boston, New York
and Hoboken, N. J., Areas.
He said the increase provides a
minimum rise of $12 a month and
is effective July 24. Mr. Strohmeier
said the increase is in line with
wage increases made recently for
employes represented by the Indus
trial Union of Marine and Ship
building Workers of America (CIO).

Applies for U. S. Citizenship
Mrs. Agnes Dolores Reeves, formerly the Royal Princess of
Afghanistan, shown with her husband, former Army Col. Louis
P. Reeves. —Star Stall Photo.
Mrs. Agnes Dolores Katherina
Reeves, formerly the Royal Prin
cess of Afghanistan, and now a
woman without a country, has
applied for American citizenship.
She and her husband, 46-vear
old former Army Col. Louis P.
Reeves, whom she calls “my co
lonel,” arrived yesterday at the
Mayflower Hotel. They went im
mediately to the immigration office
to file the necessary papers.
Mrs. Reeves saw the United States
for the first time on June 28, when
she and Mr. Reeves were married
in Miami. He is now manager for
the International Telephone and
Telegraph Co. in Rio De Janeiro.
They met when he was with the
Signal Corps in Italy during the
war.
“The American people,” said the
37-year-old former princess, “they
are so genteel—so courteous to each
other. When I was a princess,
people were nice to me just so they
could get a tip.”
Mrs. Reeves was born in Leipzig,
Germany. Her father vu an Ital
ian architect and her mother w*s
German.
When she was 19, the raven
haired Miss Morgano married
Prince Obeidullah of Afghanistan.'
brother of King Amanullah of that
country just north of India. For
16 years she lived a gay life in exile
with the prince. They were divorced
in 1946, and the princess stayed on
at her home in Rome.
After her divorce from the prince,
she lost her Afghanistan citizenship.
She could have become an Italian
citizen or returned to her native t
Leipzig, now occupied by the Rus-j
sians, and become a Russian citizen.!
“I would be killed rather than
return there,” she said.
She chose to marry the colonel
and become an American citizen.1
At the immigration office, she!
said, she was asked if she wanted
to retain the title of princess.
"I want only to be Mrs. Reeves'
and be with my colonel,” she told
them.
U. of Pennsylvania
May Name Stassen
As President Today
By the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA. July 29. — Re
ports persisted in Philadelphia to
day that Harold E. Stassen would
become the next president of the
University of Pennsylvania.
University officials declined to dis
cuss the reports as the board of
trustees assembled for a special
meeting this afternoon. %
There was no comment from
either Robert T. McCracken, chair
man of the board, or Dr. George W.
McClelland. 68-year-old president of
the university who is planning to
retire for reasons of health.
At Minneapolis, Mr. Stassen him
self said "No comment."
Rumors have persisted for almost
a month that the former Minnesota
Governor and unsuccessful candi
date for the Republican presidential
nomination would be named to the
DORt.
They followed reports that Mr.
Stassen had talked with university
officials during the OOP conclave,
and that Mr. McCracken had
sounded him out on the matter early
this month.
Mr. Stassen, who graduated from
the University of Minnesota and
its law schol, was elected Governor j
of Minnesota in 1938 at tne age of
31—the youngest Governor in the
Nation.
He was twice re-elected to that
office, resigning during his third

rank of lieutenant commander. He
later rose to the rank of captain.
Dr. McClelland became president
of the university in 1944, succeeding
the late Thomas S. Gates.

Girl Critically Wounded in Cafe;
Man in Police Uniform Sought
Miss Dorothy Kilmer. 19, of 1314
Fairmont street N.W., was critically
wounded early today in a cafe
shooting which homicide squad of
ficials believe involved two police
men.
The victim is in Emergency Hos
pital with a bullet wound in the
left chest. She told the police the
shooting was accidental.
Homicide Chief Lt. Jeremiah
Flaherty said detectives are ques
tioning witnesses to determine the
identity of two men—one of whom
was wearing a policeman's unform
without a badge—but both of whom
were armed.
He said police were called to the
Palm Grove night club. 1601 Four
teenth street N.W. about 4 a.m. on
the complaint of Howard Patterson*
an employe, that someone was boot
legging whisky in front of the place.
Police questioned the bootlegging
suspect, but released him without
charge
witnesses saia uie two men, one
in uniform and the other in civilian
clothes, apparently heard the tele
phone call for police, drew their
guns and walked out the front door.
They were there, police reports said,
when police answered the call.
| Afterward, they re-entered the cafe.
The uniformed man put his re
ivolver'away, but the other man was
/toying with his pistol. George
I Stott, manager of the cafe, said the
man pointed it first at him, then at
Miss Kilmer, chanting "eenie,
^eenie, meinie, moe * * *” as he
pointed at them. Mr. Stott said
Miss Kilmer said “Don't point that
at me.”
A short time later, he said, the
revolver discharged and Miss Kilmer
| fell to the floor.
Authorities were unable to learn
I th« identity of either man from
early questioning of ’witnesses and
issued a lookout for one described
as wearing a brown suit, brown
slacks, 25 to 30 years old, 5 feet, 8'
Inches, 155 pounds.
Five or six witnesses viewed!
photos of five policemen who they
said "resembled” the uniformed
man in the cafe, Lt. Flaherty said.
All of the policemen thus vaguely,
identified were questioned and ab
solved, the homicide chief added.
Another possible suspect, who
worked until midnight last night,!
was being sought. Police plan to
question him when he returns to
duty late today.
Miss Kilmers home, police said,
is in Elmville. N. Y.

For Fare Rise Taken
Under Advisement
fty th# Aisociot«d Pr«tt
RICHMOND, Va.. July 29.—The
State Corporation Commission to
day had under advisement a re
quest of the Alexandria, Barcroft &
Washington Transit Co. for passen
ger fare increases which a company
official said would mean a net profit
of about *95,000 annually for the
firm.
.increases averaging cent* lor
a six-month trial basis were ap
proved for the company by the In
terstate Commerce Commission In
Washington Tuesday.
The company, whose intrastate
and interstate operation* in Arling
ton. Fairfax. Alexandria and the
District of Columbia are virtually
inseparable, is asking authority to
increase its present 5-cent fares to
a dime, with bus tokens at two for
15 cent*, and boost it* 10-cent fares
to 15 cents, subject to the use of
a 7‘2-cent token plus a nickel. The
company said that virtually the en
tire effect of the increase would be
2Vi cents.
Mayor William T. Wilkin* of
Alexandria said he had presented
the matter of the A., B. <fe W ap
plication to the City Council earlier
this month. He said the Council
discussed the matter a length and
reached the conclusion that no ac
tion should be taken in opposition
to the petition.
The A., B. W.’s general man
ager, Beverley C. May, said that the
company's total revenues for the
first quarter of this year amounted
to $644,311 and the total expenses
were $688,728. It was he who esti
mated the profit of $95,000 if the
increases are approved.

Goldsborough Denies
U. S. Plea to Dismiss
Rail Strike Injunction
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough to
day refused to discharge the anti
strike injunction against three rail
road unions on the grounds that it
might prejudice the brotherhoods'
attack on the validity of the order
in the District Court of Appeals.
The judge was called back to
District Court from vacation to hear
a Government motion to dismiss the'
permanent strike injunction. Jus
tice Department attorneys argued
that in fairness to the unions the;
order should be dissolved In view
of the settlement three weeks ago
of the wage-working rules dispute
with the railroads.
But counsel for the unions—Loco
motive Engineers, Firemen and En
ginemen and Switchmen—said they
desire a higher court ruling on the
legality of the order and its dismis
sal might interfere with such a
ruling. Justice Goldsborough
agreed with the defendants.
The unions have appealed tne is
suance of_the order, but attorneys1
said the case probably will not be
decided until some time next year
Meanwhile, the Government will |
appeal Justice Goldsborough's rul-:
ing today that the injunction should
remain in force.
The judge issued the original re
straining order to head off a strike
by the rail unions in early May just
after President Truman had seized
the railroads and turned them over
to the Army to operate. The car
riers were returned to their owners
following settlement of the dispute.
Justice Goldsborougn said today
It was his duty to help in every way1
possible the "unsuccessful parties",
in getting an appeals ruling from
his order. He declared that to dis
solve the injunction might interfere
with the appeal and would be "not
only immature, but exceedingly un
fair" to the unions.
