dollars In the till.
lfar.y were positive the decision
ensured added business; a minority
used the word, ‘ boom”; some mere
ly were hopeful.
A, conservative element, however,
felt'a decision reversing the gov
ernment would have had a much
better long-time effect even if it
had disrupted business temporarily.
The United States Steel corpora
tion announced Tuesday it had ap
proved a $47,000,000 plant modem- i
latlon program, and the New York
Times said it was thought in sor.e
quarters the company had delated
the announcement until the r art's
gold decision was known.
This sum. to be spent o - finish
ing plants, is the largest totted for
such work by U. S in five
years.

will build a $5,000,000 aide sheet
and strip mill to meet demands of
the automobile industry.

Inclined to view the outcome as
favorable Retail distributors felt
the general public would not change
its buying habits to any great ex
tent.
The view that the decision re
awakened general confidence and
thus would create buying was taken
by a majority of business leaders.
Increased prices also were foreseen.

DEATH AX HELD
OVER 2 OTHERS
BERLIN, Feb. 20. The omin
ous shadow o: the executioner s ax
iell Wednesday upon two more con
victed spies held in Pioetzense pris
on.
The two, who may follow the same
path to the block taken by Benita
von F&lkenhayn and Renale von
N a tamer, are men. One. it was learn
ed, is a former naval technician, but
.he identities of both were concealed
jy official secrecy.
The condemned pair occupied cells
near those in which the two noble
women spent their last hours. They
had no knowledge of their fate oth
er than the grim tradition that no
prisoner emerges from Ploeuenses
walls alive and free.
Several days may pass before the
official executioner is notified to
sharpen his medieval battle-ax and
don his formal garb again.
Meanwhile, the prisoners may cling
to the hope that Reichsfuehrer Hit*
ier will intervene to modify their
death sentences.
Unlike the two women spies, the
xen were tried several weeks ago in
regular court, the sentences of which
do not become effective until 99 days
after they are pronounced.
The star chamber verdicts of the
dreaded peoples court, which con
I uemned the women spies, are execut
ed the following dawn or at least no
i .ater than 48 hours after Hitler has
declined to order a pardon or com
I mutation of sentence.
The decapitation of the two women
continued to create a national sensa
tion Wednesday as the section of the
tcichswehr charged with anti-es
pionage activities redoubled its ef
forts to round up betrayers of Ger
many's military secrets.
The exact connection of the two
men with the alleged conspiracy has
not been divulged.

The art of cooking depends largely;
