RITES FOR RAY GILLMAN HELD SUNDAY Press reports today indicated that the industry had accepted the change reluctantly. It was made as a result of a U. S. Supreme Sup-reme Court decision holding that a pricing system in the cement ce-ment industry which was similar sim-ilar to the basing point system for steel, was an unfair trade trade practice. Benjamin Fairless, president of U. S. Steel, was quoted as saying that he held serious doubts as to the advisability and economic soundness of the "radical "rad-ical change" in marketing methods. meth-ods. It is agreed that the direct effect of the change will hit hardest at ; customers distant from steel mills, and will give advantage -to mills near their consumers. Most locals believe that the output of the Geneva Steel plant can be used in the west and that the new system will en-courage en-courage steel fabricating plants to establish themselves at points where steel can be purchased most (jheaply.

All advertising, except that distributed by the Orem Chamber Cham-ber of Commerce, referrs to the Geneva Steel Plant as being located lo-cated near Provo. Changing Orem's name to Geneva would correct this deception.
