aentalivoa of three largo agricultural colleges and throe large lntt . ehinery manufacturers, following government reports in 1932 that farm machinery prices were being "maintained at relatively high levels during the depths of the depression,” the FTC said. l)nly the three professors signed the Institute report which emphasized the improved quality of Implements. "In these various ways," the FTC said after citing how the report had been given credence even with government departments, "the true origin, authorlshlp and purpose of the report have been concealed in order to give it a standing of Independent authoriship and st ientitic value which it does not deserve. The methods used in this case to enhance the standing and creditability of the report are strikingly similar to those used by the public utility industry." International Harvester and Deere & Co., in effect set most prices, the FTC said. “Announcement of prices by other manufacturers is delayed until the prices of these leaders are published. This practice, in turn is faetilitated and made possible by extensive exchanges of prices among individual manufaetuerers,” the report stated. The commission criticized “forcing" of dealers to accept “exclusive contracts,” saying the practice "has extensive adverse effects upon the interests of small manufacturers, retailers and farmers.” The study showed "numerous instances where employees of a large manufacturer have brought pressure to induce individual dealers to stop handling competing lines.” • Forcing of exclusive contracts curtails competition and “has a tendency to strengthen the dominant position held by a few large manufacturers,” it was pointed out. In the larger companies, nine stockholders held 37.9 per cent of the voting stock of International [Harvester, and 14 held 49.1 per cent of the Deere stock, the report said. In 1936, the commission reported, four companies made all of the corn binders, five made 96 per cent of the grain binders, and six made 197 per cent of the tractors and the tratcor-cultivators, 92 per cent of the mowers. "For various other important implements, from 50 to 85 per cent of the nation's production is concentrated in the hands of the eight largest companies," the commissio nreported.

' DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1938.

HOLO PRIMARY [ TOOR IN IOWA ’ New Deal Sentiment To Be Tested In lowa Primary Election j - Des Moines, la.. June 5 <U.R)— I New deal sentiment in the midj western farm belt was gauged to- . day In the lowa primary, where Democratic voters chose between Sen. Ouy M. Gillette, running for ! renomination, and Rep. Otha D. t Wearln, whom new deal spokesmen ( favored as his successor. Gillette had opposed the new deal leadership on only one important issue—he voted against the supreme court reorganization bill—but his opponent had the oral support of works progress administrator Harry L. Hopkins, of James Roosevelt, the president’s sou, and other new dealers in congress. 1 Thus. lowa Democrats had the opportunity to express today whether 1 the supreme court plan and other of President Roosevelt's new deal i policies met with their strict approval. Clear weather was forecast for ■ the voting period 6 a. m. to 8 p. in. In lowa, fair weather probably would mean a smaller vote. Farm work has been delayed by recent rains, and it was assumed that many farmers would not vote if the , weather was so that they could , be in the fields. Republicans, Democrats and Far-mer-Laborites all were selecting nominees for national, state and county offices. Republican leaders expected that their ticket would . draw 300,000 voters and K. 11. Birmingham. chairman of tho Democratic state central committee, claimed only 200,000 Democratic voters. Nevertheless, the predominate issue was the race between Wearin, a lean, 35-year-old farmer, and Gillette, a gray-haired lawyer. Three other Democratic senatorial candidates opposed them and although the three were conceded little chance, some believed that they might poll enough votes to throw the nomination to a state convention. The law provides that unless one candidate polls more than 35 per cent of the total vote cast in the race, a convention must make the nomination. In such event it was believed that Gillette would have a strong advantage. He has the support of the state organization, headed by Gov. Nelson G. Kraschel and Sen. Clyde L. Herring. Except for the supreme court bill, there was little to distinguish the new deal loyalty of Gillette and Wearin. Wearin had no opportunity to vote on the court bill, as it did not reach the house, but he said he favored it. Although Wearin claimed the support of President Roosevelt, Gillette denied it and pointed out that neither the president, James A. Farley, Democratic national committeeman, nor secretary of agriculture Henry A. Wallace, a native of lowa, had spoken any word in behalf of Wearin. Hopkins’ outspoken endorsement of Wearin, and James Roosevelt's letter to a Wearin partisan speaking of him as “my friend,” elevated the campaign to national importance when otherwise Wearin had been given little consideration. Anti-new deal members of congress protested against the “interference,” and the battle line was made evident. The G.O.P. opponents were Lester J. Dickinson, former senator, and Rep. Lloyd Thurston, who is serving his fifth term in the house. Dickinson campaigned against everything “new dealish." Thurston campaigned on a platform of "a practical approach to the changing problems of the world." George A. Wilson, Des Moines attorney was unopposed for the Republican nomination for governor. He lost to Gov. Kraschel in 1936 by only 2,431 votes. Kraschel is seeking renomination on the Democratic ticket without opposition. All incumbent candidates for representative were expected to be renominated. o — CONGRESS MAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) opposition to big recovery and relief spending when the showdown comes as was evidenced when The senat c approved a $3,723,000,000 appropriation last week with only 10 dissenting votes. Legislative disputes, however, indicate the direction of the split in new deal-Democratic ranks and forecast the alignment of forces which will contest in 1940 for control of the Democratic national convention which will nominate a presidential candidate. Skirmishing already has begun on the 1938 primary front. Primary contests preliminary to November's general election have raked raw the political wounds of last year when the senate bo]/ers split now deal forces wide open in the fight which junked Mr. Roosevelt's judiciary reorganization bill. The rPesident and his administrative aides are charged now by party bolters with seeking to pun-

The entire 1 family of Menuhins sailed for the United States, and Hephzibah's ' wedding presumably will take place in California. I

ish Democratic candidates who flouted White House leadership. [ Mr. Roosevelt insists that his hands are off primary contests but some of his cabinet and other close advisers have dipped into state politics. Primary returns from today’s lowa election have tremendous national significance only because federal emergency relief administrator Harry H. opkins endorsed Rep. Otha D. Wearin, a staunch new dealer, to succeed Sen. Guy M. Gillette in the senate. Gillette's new deal voting record is rather good but he balked at judiciary reorganization. Wearin's nomination would boom new deal prestige tremendously; Gillettes would be a jolt to the White House. Eight other Democratic senators up for re-election this year opposed the Roosevelt judiciary bill. They are: Van Nuys, Ind.; Clark, Mo.; Smith, S. C.; McCarran, Nev.; Tydings. Md.; Adams, Colo.; George, Ga.; and Lonergan, Conn. Tydings and Smith already have powerful new deal opposition from candidates who generally are regarded as having White House bellsing if not Mr. Roosevelt's openly avowed support. Van Nuys, practically read out of the party by the Indiana state machine, will not be renominated on the Democratic ticket. TWO SUSPECTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ing Florida license plates which coupled with the large sum of money on the men first led to suspicion that they might have been implicated in the Cash kidnaping. Otes and Militants were arrested after a chase by police and a clerk in a hotel after the fleecing of Belusa, who was inviegled to a

Police put the money in a bank Saturday pending word from the department of justice on fingerprints of the four tn.en and the serial numbers of the ransom money. Checked when the bank opened today, the money did not correspond to the Cash ransom. All four men declared their innocence of any crime, but police indicated they might be brought to Indianapolis state police headquarters for lie-detector tests. Police also awaited word from Washington to learn if they are wanted for any crimes. Bennett, according to police, had $2,700 strapped to his leg when he was arrested, a circumstance he has failed to explain. Doubt Report Louisville, Ky., June 6— ((J.R) — Kentucky and Ohio state police patroled highways from Louisville to inciunatl today after receiving a report that three men passed through Louisville with a boy who resembled five-year-old Janies Cash, Jr., kidnaped nine days ago from his Princeton, Fla., home. John Isaac, 62, night watchman at a PWA road project on the northern outskirts of Ixmisville yesterday identified a picture of the Cash child as the likeness of ■ a boy he saw late Saturday night. [ He said the boy was with the men in a green sedan, bearing Florida license plates. Isaac said the drier of the machine got out and asked him the way to Cincinnati. “Another machine came down the highway just then and the fellow jumped back into his car and . drove away,” Isaac said. He said the boy was dressed in a khaki play suit. When shown

Gottschalk, state director of public welfare, representing Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, was tho principal speaker at the opening session. A memorial shrine containing full sized replicas of the constitution of the United States, the declaration of independence and other historic documents, was presented by the organization's auxiliary. The shrine will be placed on display in Fort Wayne. Charles Loshe, Knox, was being mentioned as candidate for senior vice-commande to succeed Henry. About 144' veterans of the original 30th U. 8. infantry (1901-1904) veterans’ association registered today. The three-day conclave will close tomorrow. Today's program was highlighted by the traditional parade. o STAR WAR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) when the moment for a fateful decision came. Regarless of this, the French general staff is convinced that France must fight if Germany invades Czechoslovakia. Russia’s attitude in case of the invasion of Czechoslovakia remains an enigma. Adolf Hitler hopes to achieve his objective of absorption of the Sudeten Germans by peaceful means, without recourse to war, and I personally am convinced that he had no intention of marching into Czechoslovakia two weeks ago when it looked as if war might be near. The German general staff feels that the risk of war is too great now in view of the uncertainty of French and Russian action and the imponderable element of Britain's actions in event that France entered a war despite Britain's restraining influence —an uncertainty which the British government naturally carefully fosters to maintain its position and influence. None of the three nation, Britain. France or Russia, will definitely decide upon the question of war over Czechoslovakia until the moment the necessity arises. Then action will be dictated by existing circumstances. Meanwhile Britain will continue strong pressure on the Czechoslovak government to i yield the last jot of concessions to the German minority and to Hit- ! ler, simultaneously pressing France I to act similarly and pressing GerI many to refrain from action. ———!O LAUNCH PROBE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I as minor fires at other Decatur ini dustries,, will all be made a part of the Investigation here, he said. Preliminary work is expected to take the balance of today and Tuesday, Mr. Hendel stated. Chalmer Porter, proprietor of the Decatur Cooperage Coniftany, which was destroyed -by a mysterious fire Thursday night, said today that there is a possibility of rebuilding the plant or part of it, although no definite plans have been formulated. An investigation is being made today of the machinery and equipmennt which might be repaired at a resasonable cost, it is believed that the boilers and heating equipment are in a fairly good condition. The building in which the kelns were located was not damaged by the fire, and the storage rooms were not injured. No insurance was carried because of the high rates in business of that nature. Mr. Porter said today he could have nothing of Importance to announce on the possibilities of rebuilding the plant for several days. o — JAPANESE WAR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ing. The boy bled to death. “I am remaining at my post,” Lockwood said. “Unless something Is done to deter the Japanese countless thousands of unarmed civilians will be killed " Hospitals were filled to capacity with civilians of ail ages. the Cash boy’s picture. Isaac said: “That's him. He has the same smile only his face was dirty from eating candy.” Louisville police were inclined to believe Isaac had been mistaken in his identification but broadcast a warning as a precautionary I measure.
