Unfair Practices In Oil Industry Cited INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Rep. James Roosevelt (D-Calif.) said today the situation with regard to “unfair practices” in the petroleum nidustry “is reportedly worse" now than it was when his House subcommittee conducted an Investigation tq, 1957. Roosevelt, son of former President Franklin D. Roosevelt, addressed the Indiana Independent Petroleum Aassociation and made what he said was "the first public disclosure" of the results of questionnaires sent to "major oil companies" and "representative small business associations" by his House Small Business Subcommittee. Referring to the 1957 investigation, Roosevelt said “the entire industry was urged to consider a list of recommendations and make corrections in certain unfair practices which the subcommittee found in existence.” / “Although there has been a concerted effort since 1957 for 'suppliers to go on record opposing coercive and discriminatory practices,” Roosevelt said, "it does not seem to affect the geneal situation, which is reportedly worse.” Roosevelt said, the questionnaire results indicated turnover of retail petroleum dealers has continued to increase, suppliers are continuing to "overbuild" new service stations, gasoline “price wars" have increased, and “suppliers continue to sell to non-branded retailers, wholesalers and distributors.” Roosevelt said the subcommittee intends to “go into certain areas where the responses have pointed more thoroughly ourselves.” “It is obvious to us all that the situation as we found it in 1957 is substantially unchanged, indeed in some areas it is worse," he Mid. Roosevelt said that the South Bend, Ind., petroleum “price fixtog" case which he said "grew out of our hearings” in 1957 is still to the courts. "Two t . years is a long time to hang on the ropes," he said, “especially if you’re hanging by the neck.” Trade k a gM, .own — Decatur

Five Big Drug Firms In Price Fixing Trial TRENTON, NJ. <UPD — Five big drug firms go on trial in Federal District Court today on charges of fixing the price of Salk ] polio vaccine. A federal grand jury indicted [ the defendant firms last year for; submitting “uniform price quota- 1 tions" in selling the vaccine to| government agencies. The prices were “fixed at. . artificial and non-competitive levels,” according to the indictment. The firms have pleaded innocent. Eugene Beesley, president of Eli Lilly & Co., one of the defendant manufacturers, has termed the charges “complete nonsense.” The defense will be handled by a score of lawyers including former New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, representing Lilly. The prosecution will be conducted by four lawyers led by Lewis Bernstein, special litigation chief of the Justice Department’s AntiTrust Division. Selection of a jury was expected to be the chief business on the first day of the trial. Bernstein, who said he would call 33 witnesses, predicted the tria could end in three weeks if the defendants introduced no witnesses of their own. Since the defense is expected to introduce testimony, the trial is expected to last from 6 to 10 weeks. The defendants are Lilly, of Indianapolis, Ind.; Allied Laboratories, Kansas City, Mo., through its subsidiary, Wyeth Laboratories; Merck & Co, Rahway, N.J, through its subsidiary, Sharp & Dohme Division, and Parke Davis & Co., Detroit. The charges are criminal, not civil in nature. But since the defendants are all corporations, no one would go to jail if a conviction was forthcoming. However, the companies would be subject to heavy court fines if convicted. Conviction would open the field for the filing of millions of dolars in civi damage suits against the firms. The indictmenlt said that government agencies bought about 103,500,000 cubic centimeters of the vaccine between 1955, when production began, and the end of 1957. Industry-wide sale of the vaccine to private and government buyers was 205 million cubic centimeters, worth $125,000,000, in the same period, the indictment said. The grand jury did not announce the total price paid by the government for its share of the vaccine. The case will be heard by Federal District Judge Phillip Forman and a jury. Texas Fever Hits Governors Parley ASHEVILLE, N. C. (UPD — “Texas fever” hit the Southern Governors Conference today. If the Democratic National Convention were in session now. Sen. Lyndon Johnson would get the majority of the Democratic South's supportBased on interviews with the South’s chief executives it appeared that the Texas Democrat has strongest support in Arkansas, South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and Oklahoma and ifi probably a draw with Sen. John Kennedy (D-Mass.) in Maryland. The governors, after a full day of informal political talk that brought Kentucky Gov. A. B. (Happy) Chandler front and center into the presidential running, settled down to a morning of serious discussion of the south’s education problems and a report on industrial progress. High points of reports: —The committee on industrial development told of expanding economy to Dixie that is bringing in moreHhan 1,000 new plants a year. —The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), an agency created by the governors conference 11 years ago, said the South must anticipate and study how to meet a doubling of college enrollment within the next 10 years. The board recommended increased financial participation by the member states in the cooperative regional education program. —Governors were asked by the SREB to increase financial aid to the Meharry Medical College (Negro) at Nashville, Tenn, Woman Abducted And Raped By Car Thief SCHERERVILLE, Ind.

Clarify Jail Rules Adopted For State

With the recent adoption of jail rules and regulations for county Jails throughout the state comes to light a little background on the submission of these governing mandates by tha state department of correction to tr.e Indiana circuit courts. In 1957, Judge Myles F. Parrish requested, of the chairman of department of correction, the rules and regulations of prisoners in county’jails with special interest on the visitation rule or regulation. The reply came from the state jail inspector stating that the rules in effect were adopted in 1909 by the department of welfare and carried over to the parole office, who now governs the county jails. they, however, lacked a ruling on visitation. Two Years Later This summer, the director of the division of parole, with a review by the attorney general, formed ♦he new set of rules and regula. tions, watch now included visitation procedures. These were then sent to all circuit courts in Indiana for adoption, two years after Judge Parrish requested these official rules. The new rules also include other provisions not outlined in the 50-

Orders Rossellini To Return Children ROME (UPD—A Rome magistrate today ordered movie director Roberto Rossellini to return his ilivee children to their mother, actress Ingrid Bergman. The decision was a provisional one and did not determine which parent would eventually gain custody of the children, Robertino, 9, and the 7-year-old twins Isbtta and Isabella. The children had been with their father all summer under a temporary agreement by which both parents have shared their custody altenately in Paris and Rome. Rossellini asked the court to allow him to keep the children in Italy indefinitely. Miss Bergman lives just outside Paris with her present husband, Swedish impresario Lars Schmidt. The children now will be allowed to join her there. Miss Bergman had to come to Rome several weeks ago to ask ' the court to force Rossellini to return the children, who visited her during their summer vacation I from school. Judge Albeto Virg i 1 i today ■ ruled the children be returned “immediately” to Miss Bergman. But sources close to Rossellini said would use “all legal , means” to resist the order. Although there was no direct means of appealing the executive order, the sources said Rossellini
