Sept. 20 — Describing the suit to dissolve the ('.rent Atlantic £ Pacific Tea company a* a threat to the welfare and living standard* of every American cltizen. officials of thfe company announced they would oppose It with every legitimate mean*. The suit. filed in the federal court for the southern district of New York, naked the court to dispose of it a manufacturing and processing facilities and break up th* company into smaller chains. The ktatement said in full: "This action I* a threat to the welfare and living staijdards of er ery American citizen. If successful, it will mean les* food on every dinner table ami fewer dollars in every pay envelope. $ "This Is not just an effort to destroy A A P but an attack on the entire system of efficient low-cost, low-profit mas* distribution which this company pioneered "A A P was the first chain store In this country and the methods we developed have been adopted by other grocers, as well as merchants in other ITW* There are today literally hundreds of chain stores and voluntary groups of Individual merchants operating with the same methods and in the same pattern here under attack. "If the anti-trust lawyers succeed In destroying A A P. the way will be < leared for the destruction of every other efficient large-scale distributor. "There is nothing even approach-

ing monopoly here; for as everv housewife knows, the retail grocery business Is the most competitive in the country and we do only a small part of It. Nor was there ever any charge that we raised prices: for i the whole basis of this attack Is the fact that we sold goal food too 1 cheap. i -There Is nothing in our operajtions. or in uny previous court de1 'vision* involving us. or in the anti--1 trust laws themselves to Justify the : dissolution of A A P. “Obviously. It is the theory of the anti trust lawyers that the people of ’ America have no right to patronize a company If their patronage will make that company grow; and that any big business must be destroyed I simply because It is big. and even :' if the public gets hurt in the process "This action is Just opposite to the purpose <>f the anti-trust laws, which were meant to increase competition and keep prices down; for If it succeed*, it will serve only to cut down competition and force prices up. A £ P’s policy always j maintained and kept alive the spirit of competition. "Frankly, the owners of A & P could make enormous amounts of money by breaking up this company, a* the anti-trust lawyers wish, and selling off the parts "But we believe this attack Is a threat to millions of consumers who rely on us for quality foods at low prices; to hundreds of thousand* of

Sept. 20. — (UP)— The Indiana employment security division reported today that more people were working In August than in July. Director Everett L. Gardner said there was a rise of 1.4 percent in nonagrit ultural employment during the month, reflecting "some improvement" in the labor market. He said the employment total of 1.16.3.000 In August was 3.1 percent lower than a year ago but that it "marked an improvement over losses earlier this year from corresponding period* of 1948." The gains were rather wide-

spread. Few major Industrie* reported declining or stationary employ, nent trends. The greatest lneree*e« were recorded In iron and steel, apparel, tanning, transportation and public I utilities, government and construe , tion. More than 5.200 workers were added to payrolls In manufacture I Ing industries, Gardner said Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE o — Stained Leather To remove old stains from leather furniture, coat with a mixture of powdered pipe clay and water mixed to a paste Allow rtils to remain for several hours, and then brush off and repeat the process If necessary.
