Favors Abolition Os Fair-Trade Laws Study Group Urges Abolition Os Lows WASHINGTON ft.NS) Abolition of the nation's “fair trad®” laws was urged today by a govern-ment-sponsored study group after an IS-month investgiation of feder-

al anti-trust laws. The committee’s report, now’ being studied toy attorney general Herbert Brownie 11 Jr., atfi his aides, said that, in general, all the anti-trust laws needed was a >-ittle polishing and a minimum ot remodeling. However, the committee complained that the fair trade laws result in “a throttling of price competition,” and called for repeal of federal laws which permit pricefixing at the retail level tor brandname* or trade-marked merchandise. Despite its 3+9 pages, I,l+l footnotes and its scholarly air, the report, prepared by more than 60 attorneys and economises from government, industry and education. contained only a dozen or so legislative proposals, most of them apparently minor. (President Eisenhower had publicly expressed the hope that the study 'would provide an important instrument to prepare the way for modernising and strengthening our laws to preserve American free enterprise against monopoly and unfair competition.” In addition "to the majority condemnation. the feport had this to say on major points of issue •in the anti-trust field: Busines mergers: No new laws are necessary. Such merger* may “lessen, increase, or have no effect on competition.” Illegal conspiracies: “Restraining trade is not illegal, but only contiacting, combining and con - spiring in restraint of trade.” Labor unions: “Appropriate legislation" should be passed to prohibit, with safeguards, “union efforts at market control." Agricultural cooperatives: “There is room for improvement" in enforcement procedures against certain types of illegal monopolies in this field, but the co-ops do not necessarily offer any "serious threat" to effective competition. Trade associations: Prosecution ot such groups should be “swift and certain if they clealrly violate the law. However, the government should not “inhibit their growth” if they tend to promote competition. The report was marked by frequent disents and difference of opinion. Many of those who expressed conflicting views remained anonymous, and there was no indication of the size of the split on particular issues. Two members of the group - both professors-offered the .sharpest dissents to the majority report. Professor Louis B- Schwartz of the University of Pennsylvania law school complained that the recommendations would weaken the antitrust laws in some respects and the report “fails to adopt necessary measures for strengthening the law so as to create a truly competitive economy in this country.” Professor Eugene V. Rostow of the Yale school of law criticized the report for making no recommendations on enforcement of the laws. He said the government was guilty of a “conspicuous failure" to invoke the anti-merger provisions in the present law. Washington — Americans spend more than |9 billion per year.for alcoholic drinks.
