Ten immigrant journalists have been killed in the United States because of their reporting since 1981 but only two of the cases have been solved, a committee of American journalists said in a report yesterday.

American Brands Inc. will sell its insurance unit to the American General Corporation for $1.17 billion, the companies announced today. They disclosed earlier in the week that they were negotiating a sale. American General will buy the Franklin Life Insurance Company of Springfield, Ill., from American Brands. Analysts said American Brands, with assets of $45 billion, could afford both Franklin and Unitrin, a Chicago-based insurance company that is another planned acquisition, as long as the company did not take on too much debt. Unitrin's board has rejected American General's $2.6 billion offer as too low.

EMERSON ELECTRIC AGREES TO BUY CONTROL TECHNIQUES
Date: 02 December 1994
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Emerson Electric Company, the world's largest maker of electric motors, said yesterday it had agreed to pay about $:96.2 million, or $150.7 million, for the 47.5 percent of Control Techniques P.L.C. that it doesn't already own. The merger would let Emerson Electric, of St. Louis, tap into the expertise of Control Techniques, a British electronics company, in variable-speed drive technology. Variable speed motors, frequently used in appliances like air conditioners and furnaces, are more energy-efficient than conventional motors. The purchase price is based on Emerson's offer of 525 pence a share. Control Techniques shares had traded at 385 pence on Nov. 4, the day before the companies said they were in talks.

FORD AND V.W. ENDING LATIN JOINT VENTURES

By Bloomberg News

The Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen A.G. are ending a marriage of convenience that created Brazil's largest non-state-owned company and Argentina's second-largest car maker. "We believe that Ford will be better able to compete effectively in these two markets by operating on its own," W. Wayne Booker, an executive vice president of Ford's international operations, said. Autolatina Brasil S.A. and Autolatina Argentina S.A. were founded in 1987, when market conditions were poor, but Mr. Booker said those conditions had improved. Autolatina was 51 percent owned by Volkswagen, and 49 percent owned by Ford. The separation will be gradual, ending within a year, Ford said. Autolatina Brasil accounts for 47 percent of Brazilian car sales. Autolatina Argentina holds about 30 percent of Argentina's market.
