STRENGTHENING OF ANTITRUST LAWS SOUGHT

Short Hearings, Fast Action Proposed by Members Of Monopoly Probe.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. — A . movement is developing within . the so-called Temporary National

J Economic Committee, recently start-|

ed on its investigation of monopoly, for action at the coming session of

Congress to strengthen the antitrust laws and begin to tackle the problem of monopoly practically on a broad front. It stems from individuals in both the Congressional and Governmental groups on the Committee. They express skepticism of a type of procedure which would call for long-drawn-out public hearings lasting for months without definite and

concrete legislative proposals, and |

fear this is the way the inquiry is headed.

“We've investigated the subject of }

monopoly for years,” one member said . . . “It’s about time we did something about it. We know, without further investigation, some evils that should be cured and we ought to start correcting them.” A showdown is expected soon in the T. N. E. C. over its policy, revolving about a proposal that the committee, in its hearings, bring before it specific measures already laid before Congress and direct its testimony toward the efficacy of these proposed solutions.

‘No Time Limit Set

The general theory of the investigation has been to explore the whole American system thoroughly, from bottom to top, find out where it ticks and where it does not tick by inquiry into specific large corporate enterprises, and then formulate a body of proposed legislation to meet the needs. While no time limit has been set, and no general outline of the proceedings has been made public, it has been assumed that the committee’s investigation would last well into the coming session, if not through and beyond. Because of the complexity of the subject and the differing views about solutions, the job is naturally a tedious one. Those who are seeking action in the coming Congress are not necessarily opposed to the investigation, but argue that it might be directed into more practical channels, and that some legislative reforms might be started before it is concluded. On the subject of procedure, Senator O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.), the Committee chairman, said today that it is necessary first to find out what is going on in industry—to get the background—before it can be determined what legislation is needed.

Licensing Plan Laid Aside

Though he sponsors jointly with Senator Borah (R. Idaho), also a member of the Committee, what he has regarded as a solution of the monopoly problem—the bill : requiring’ Federal licensing of interstate corporations—he has laid this aside for the time being, awaiting results of the inquiry. Senator Borah also has introduced a bill requiring that oil companies divest themselves of pipelines and that piping of oil be declafed a public utility. He regards this as one specific problem—long discussed, incidentally—which could be considered immediately. Active antitrust direction by the Justice Department now is in the hands Thurman Arnold, who also is a member of the T. N. E. C. Mr. Arnold has two objectives. One is additional appropriations from Congress to provide a somewhat larger staff, so that he can proceed on a broader front in breaking up certain monopolies. Another is procedural changes in the antitrust laws which would shorten the judicial process.

INJURED IN FALL

Jeppha Baldwin, 54, was taken to St. Francis Hospital today with back and possible internal injuries re‘ceived .when a coal conveyor slipped from a jack while he was unloading coal at the Bennett Coal Co. yards, 130 E. Morris St. Mr. Baldwin fell on his back, according to police.

'100 Face Charges as City’s

Safety Record Is Threatened.

12 were between the age of 20 and 45, while 33 were over 45 years of age, he said. “These older persons spent their formative years in a period when traffic traveled at a speed of six miles per hour and they are not used to the speed of traffic today, whereas the younger people are better able to cope with today’s fast moving automobiles. “We believe that our campaign of traffic education in the public schools has helped to cut jpraffic fatalities among younger sons. The: children learn safety rules in school and then go home and teach them to their parents,” he said. Lieut. McCarty declared that not only must pedestrians be careful in crossing streets, but also it is the duty of motorists to show courtesy to those on foot. “It takes co-eperation from both motorists and pedestrians to keep our traffic toll down,” he said.

Small Cities to Be Aided In Safety Work

Small Indiana cities desiring to modernize their police accident prevention and safety work may pattern their systems after those used by large cities and State police departments, State Safety Director Don Stiver said today. Three agencies, the State Police Department, Purdue University and the Safety Division of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, are to cqQ-operate in this work, which will include survey of safety needs of smaller cities. : Mr. Stiver explained that various national agencies working for reduction of traffic fatalities have concentrated their activities thus far on large city and state police departments.

Seminars Planned Under the plans now being for-

mulated, any small city that desires to improve its system would be

enabled to set up modern reporting;

and investigation of traffic accidents identical with that put into effect this year by the Indiana State Police Department. One-day traffic and crime seminars will be held soon in each of the eight State Police posts. The schedule: Ligonier, Jan. 23; Dunes Park, Jan. 24; Lafayette, Jan. 25; Pendleton, Jan. 27; Connersville, Jan. 30; Seymour, Jan. 31; Jasper, Feb. 1, and Putnamville, Feb. 3.

Come and Collect It, City Urges

The City owes about $90,000, has the money in the jeans, and is ready to pay. But the creditors haven't sent bills, Albert H. Losche, purchasing agent, complained today. He pointed out that if the bills aren’t paid by the last of the year, the money set aside to pay them will revert to the general fund and the creditors will have to take judgments. Mr. Losche said the City al- . ready has sent postcards to the merchants telling them about billing and urging them to go through the formalities of getting paid, but they have not responded. Mr. Losche said he hoped they would respond before . Dec. 31 so that the City’s books will clear and the merchants will not have to go to court to get paid.

RANKIN CLAIMS TVA SAVES 556 MILLION

Pleads for Preservation of Yardstick Plan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (U. P.). —Rep. Rankin (D. Miss.), coauthor of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act, claimed today that the TVA's power yardstick had resulted in an annual saving of 556 million dollars to electricity consumers. He testified before the joint Congressional committee investigating the New Deal power agency as one of a group of witnesses called to answer the criticisms of private utility spokesmen. Rep. Rankin promised that the savings to consumers would increase as the TVA project develops. He pleaded against destruction of the TVA yardstick. “The consumers of electricity each year are saving more than twice as much as the entire TVA development will cost, including the Gilbertsville Dam,” he said. - He charged private utilities with attempting to destroy the yardstick in order that they may “impose enormous burdens upon the unpro-

tected consumers of electric light and. power.”

Rookie Cop Shot in Error By a Rookie

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (U. P.).—Police officials blamed the zeal of two young poljcemen today for a near “tragedy of errors” that resulted in one

being shot by the other. Policeman Leonard Millman, 27, was in Providence Hospital with a bullet wound in his abdomen. His condition was serious. His assailant was Policeman Walter Ward, 28. Both were new members of the police force. Late Yesterday, Ward, while eating in a restaurant, noticed a fight outside. Attempting to break it up, he was set upon by one of the participants who had no way of knowing that Ward was a policeman. When the unidentified assailant fled, Ward gave chase. Farther along the same street Millman, in civilian clothes, was walking with his wife. Seeing only Ward running with’the revolver in his hand, Millman grabbed him and threw him to the ground. Before either man could identify himself, Ward’s revolver was discharged. ‘I'm a Policeman,” said. “So am I, and you've shot me,” ‘said Millman.

His: hands were handcuffed behind him. Police first believed it was murder, but later theorized that the former railrad brakeman might have slipped the noose over his neck and then locked his hands behind him so he could not change his mind when the noose tightened. The wig was so lifelike that the victim was believed a woman until the body reached an undertaker.
