House Group Plans Probe Into Mergers House Committee To Moke Probe Os Wave Os Mergers WASHINGTON (INS) — Hoose anti-monopoly investigators announced today they will look into a nationwide wave of mergers in banking and textile businesses, possibly the automobile industry, and many other fields. Chairman Emanuel Cellar (D- --, N. Y.) of the house judiciary committee, told International News Service he will reconstitute his subcommittee on the growth of monopoly, power to survey “the state of mergers that seem to be flooding the country.” Hearings will not get underway for at least a month. - The New Yorker also said he will attempt to discover why there has been “a concentration of defense procurement orders” with certain companies, such as General Motors. T He declared there “must be more dispersal geographically and economically’ or procurement orders because concentration simply builds up monopoly power." Rep. Edwin Willis (D-La.) a member of the judiciary committee, explained that congress must determine whether the many mergers are “due to a loophole in the income tax law, a loophole in the anti-trust law, or whether they are just a forecast of things-to-come in our economy.” • Celler is especially interested in Investigating the New York merger between the Chase National Bank, the Bank* of Manhattan, and the Bronx Trust company. He said he will check stock trading records of the officers and directors of the three banking houses to determine if someone made undue profit out of the merger. Celler asserted “prices of the stocks have advanced in a most inordinate degree.” The New York. congressman also charged that if the attorney general had “availed himself sufficiently of provisions” of the Celler anti-merger act of 1950 “we would not have had this Niagara of mergers.” : \ , j — He declared "the fundamental principle lyehind this investigation is to find out how the department tot-jusS*oe->-1» implementing and administering the Celler anti-mer-ger act which we passed to prevent mergers where combined contingencies would substantially lessen or tend to lessen competition in any given area.” "Matchmakers,” who initiate and carry out mergers for a fixed fee, will be special targets of the Celler investigation. Two huge textile companies, Burlington Mills and the Textron Corporation, also are expected to figure in the probe since both have taken over smaller firms. Celler added that there is need for a probe of mergers in many areas, including hotels, newspapers, radio and television stations, and the automobile indusary. CRAIG BACKING from Page One) tion will be approved under certain conditions which are necessary sb a check on the toll road commission. The fact that the senate roads committee voted, nine to two, for the amendments is significant. .■ • . ■ ’ - 1 Republican senator ' Frederick Landis, of Logansport — The bill will hurt road bond sales. Indiana should act soon in toll road construction because there is some possibility of federal toll roads built without consulting the wishes of Hoosiers. Seventy-five percent of the costs of the pay highways will be paid by out-of-state motorists and truck operators. Republican Senator D. Russell Bontrager, of Elkhart—ls the Indiana lake port should be established at Michigan City instead of at the mouth of Burns Ditch in Porter county and the present toll miles away from Michigan City, faces of the legislators would become red. Republican Senator C. Wendell Martin of Indianapolis — People love toll roads and they are far safer than free highways. The commission is efficient. Commissioners have contracted for most of the present route at prices 20 percent below the estimates of the engineers. Senator Van Ness and Howard Steele, Knox Republican, ended the long session Tuesday afternoon by introducing a bill to appropriate $3,500,000 to finance Indiana’s share of the Indiana port, wherever designated by army engineers. Topeka — More tornadoes are recorded in Kansas than in any of the other states. Boston — U. S. Fishing industry uses more than six million tons of ice annually.

Otis M. Whitney, Massachusetts public safety commissioner, was made as Warden John J. O’Brien decided to starve the rebels into submission, and the convicts threatened to shoot one of the five guard hostages for each shot fired by a policeman in the riitg of steel around the prison. 1 The tank was dispatched from Fort Devens, nearly 40 miles away. Whitney said the tank was requested “to prepare for any eventuality,” in the revolt, now in its second day. O’Brien vowed to make “no deal” for release of the guards seized by the prisoners so they could escape on a “safe conduct" pass. When the. ..abortive escape attempt started Tuesday morning there was only one pound of dry spaghetti in the section. There was nothing else but water.

Convict's Daughter Pleads For Release Green's Daughter In Prison Appeal BOSTON (INS) — A slip of a girl hoped to accomplish today what small army of police has failed tod do — end the revolt at state prison in a personal plea to her father, the ringleader. She is Toby Green, 16-year-old daughter of Theodore Green, who as top man of a party of four convicts, has threatened five guards and six prisoners held as hostages will be killed the moment the police move to stop the revolt by force. The girl, with the permission of Warden John J. O’Brien, speaks over the prison public address system, begging her dad to call off the revolt and liberate the hostages. Especially, she said, she was asking him to be merciful to one of the imprisoned guards, Eugene T. Williams, 39, running a temperature of 100 as the result of a heavy virus cold that has aggravated a serious heart condition. Efforts of the prison physician to obtain Wills’ release or to have a substitute go in for him tell on deaf ears. Toby decided on a personal appeal after telephone calls made by her and her mother, Mrs. Helen Green, from their Jamaica Plain "I’m going to beg him to give up." the little pale faced Toby declared. “I am appealing to him as a daughter to her father. I only pray that I can reach him, way dcwn in his heart.” Toby said her father nearly broke down during tbeir telephone conversation and all but begged her to talk no more lest he burst into tears. "I told him I wanted to see him face to face,” said Toby. “He told me that I couldn’t do that. Then he said I would have to stop talking because if he didn’t I’d have him crying. He sounded as though he was ready to cry."

Attorney's Office Robbed Last Nighh The office of attorney G. Remy Blerly was broken into last night, and approximately S3O in desk money was taken.

Orange, Grapefruit Crystals On Market New Crystals Boon For The Housewife WASHINGTON (INS) — A new boon for the housewife in the form of orange and grapefruit crystals might be right around the edrner. The product is on the market" as of right now, but most of the output is likely to be snapped up in the beginning by the army, the veterans administration and dther governjnent agencies. Orange and grapefruit crystals in vans go a step further than the frozen concentrates which have become so popular over the past few years. They don't need refrigeration and so can be stored indefinitely. J The original product has been dubbed McAee's because that name happens to fit in so nicely with the slogan "no freeze, no squeeze.” Samplers of the product on its unveiling at a downtown hotel in Washington found it every bit as palatable as canned juice or the frozen concentrate. The grapefruit juice reconstituted from the crystals was pronounced especially good. Once the product hits the domestic market in volume the producers are convinced that it will stack up favorably in price with frozen concentrate and canned juice. Just when that will be no one seems willing to predict. Some

The further the distance from Florida the greater their price advantage is expected tube. Packers of the new product said it should result tn a great expansion of markets for citrus crops.
