J Majority Proxies - TOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Dee. 29. -(AP.) A permanent injunction today restrained consummation of one of the biggest deals in indus trial history the proposed billion dollar merger of the Toungstown Sheet and Tube company with the Bethlehem Steel corporation. Common Pleas Judge David G, Jenkins granted the injunction here today as a dramatic climax to nearly a year long battle be tween some of America's most powerful industrialists and finan ciers. . The victory belongs to the 'un derdog" of the fight Cyrus S. Eaton, 47-year-old financier, of Cleveland, who led the minority stockholders of Sheet and Tube in their daring attack against the powerful combine of such famous industrialists as Eugene G. Grace president of Bethlehem; James M. Campbell, chairman of Sheet and Tube, and Henry G. Dalton, a di rector in both companies. Unless the merger proponents appeal and are able to win a re versal, the merger Is dead. Dispute Arises Over April 0 Tote of Owners Eaton claimed he had enough votes to defeat it In the stock holders' election last April t. His opponents denied this and claimed the stockholders voted ratliica- tion. No one - denies however that Eaton, since the election, has had sufficient proxies to defeat a Sheet and Tube merger. If such a deal is ever submitted again. Leading proponents of the deal had not indicated tonight it an ap peal will be made. Private negotiations for the merger began early this year. The dramatic fight to defeat It started when Eaton first heard of the proposal March 7. Bethlehem's offer was to ac- oulre Sheet and Tube, a 3235,- 000,000 corporation, on the basis of one and one-third shares ox Bethlehem common stock for one of Sheet and Tube. The first Phase of the battle was a spectacular campaign for proxies. Millions Spent to Secure Stock of Steel Company within a short time, merger proponents and opponents were spending millions for stock. Eaton himself put out more than 8f- 000.000. f In the meantime, a majority or Sheet and Tube directors approv ed the merger and the stockhold ers' action followed. The suit went to trial June 24 -a battle between some of the keenest legal minds of the nation. Newton D. Baker, former secre tary of war, was chief special (Turn to page 2, col. 2) Want Fishing: Changed Neuner Sues Watscks Air Baggage Reduced Trail Hiker Is Periled tarted .to walk across the Me Kenxle Pass Sunday.

This new energy, he said, is be ing formed in space among the distant stars, and is falling upon the earth in tbe form of radiation of "cosmic rays" that are similar -in principle to the rays given off by radium, but far more penetrat ing.
