it is true.
And when you look into the facts, you’ll
find these two solid truths:
Buick is one o! die “Big Three” in sales
volume—and hotter this year than ever
before. And Buick is one of the “Big
Three” when it comes to prices which
make such popularity possible. The price

U. S. Steel Increases
Dividend, Proposes
2-for-1 Slock Split
Os Out Aiieclated trtw
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.—The
world’s biggest steelmaker.
United States Bteel Corp., was
plunging into 1905 today with a
couple of financial jet rockets
behind it—a boosted common
stock dividend and a proposed
2-for-l stock split.
It was'the first dividend in
crease in four years and the first
stock split since .May 2, 1949,
when stockholders voted a 3-for
-1 split of common, raising the
authorised shares to their pres
ent total.
The news caught Wall Street
napping yesterday, although at
the time of the third-quarter
report last October there were
many rumors of a dividend in
crease-unconfirmed at the time.
II Dividend Declared.
The Board of Directors, wait
ing until long after the close of
the New York Stock Exchange,
declared a dividend of $1 a share
on common, payable March 10 to
holders of record February 4.
The stock had been on a 75-
eent dividend basis since 1951.
Board Chairman Benjamin F.
Fairless, answering a newsman’s
question, declined to put the
board on record for future pay
ments of a dollar on common
every quarter but added:
“Naturally, when we change
our dividend, we hope to con
tinue it ... we always hope to
continue anything we start.”
He also announced that the
directors had approved for sub
mission to the stockholders at
their annual meeting May 2 a
proposal to change each share
of common into two shares.
“The board believes that the
proposed change will resplt in a
wider distribution of the stock
and make it more readily avail
able for Investment purposes,”
Mr. Fairless said.
Would Double Shares.
The action would increase the
45 million present shares au
thorized to 90 million. Os the

LUBBOCK. Tex., Jan. It—
The parents of the Wood twins
have about decided on a foot
print test to find out which is
Charles and which is Robert.
Mrs. Douglas R. Wood thinks
she can tell them apart, but she
isn't sure.
Capt. Wood aald yesterday it
may take a “footprint expert”
at Reese Air Force Base, where
the boys were bom November 24,
to figure it out.
A baby-sitter thought she got
the twins mixed up Saturday
night.
After they cried all night, Mrs.
Wood thought they might be hr
the wrong cribs. She switched
them and they went to sleep.
Knowing that Charles was
allergic to mange juice, Mrs.
Wood then gave both babies

there were 26,376.722 outstand
ing as of December 31. Should
the stock be split, 52,753,444 re
classified shares would represent
the smaller number outstanding
December 31.
The dollar dividend declared!
yesterday would be the equiva
lent of 50 cents per share on the
larger fcumber of shares.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fairless told
newsmen he expected 1955 to be
a “satisfactory” year for the
economy ahd a better year than
1954 for the steel industry. ■
He predicted the steel indus
try and his corporation would
operate at about 80 per cent of
rated capacity for the first six
months but refused to make any
predictions beyond the half-year
mark.
He added, however, “that
doesn’t mean I predict a slump
in the last six mofhths.”
Things like direction signals, oil-bath air

lighting in glove and trunk compartments
