CEUL SERVICE DEFiDMIT AGAIN Thorsteinson Says Status Of Stock Sold him was Misrepresented The fourth suit in recent weeks to be filed here, against the Cen tral Public Service company and its affiliates was instituted in cir cuit court yeeterday when Gand mardur Thorsteinson brought ac tion to recover 13990 allegedly due him as repayment for his pur chases' of various blocks of Cen tral Public Service company's 1 preferred stock.
