6225 Head Received at Local Yards.

The 6225 hogs received today at the Indianapolis stockyards continued in up-to-ceiling prices, the U. 8. agricultural department re-

rted. Brisk demand for the 675 cattle cleared them quickly, and the 350 calves also held steady. The 50 sheep were too limited for a fair market test.

The amount of the nation’s suiting material used for men’s suits has been going down steadfly since 1939, according to the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion, while there has been a corresponding rise in yardage allotted to women’s suits. Newschart above shows how women’s suits took more than half the available material in 1945. The climb continues. Newschart at right shows graphically that men’s suit production in 1046 is running less than half the Civilian Production Authority's estimated rock-bottom needs for the year. It is estimated that actual -demand {is 10,000,000 suits over the minimum need.

AIRLINES OPEN FIRE ON MERGER

Object to Control Along With Surface Units.

WASHINGTON, April 11 (U. P). —The nation’s airlines today opened fire on rail, water and motor interests trying to get into air transportation. They dispatched a brief to congress stafing in effect that surface carriers belong on the surface. And they said they wanted no part of proposals to put air under control of a federal agency which also would supervise surface transport. Rear Adm. Emory 8. Land, president of the Air Transport association, transmitted the airlines’ views to the house commerce committee as it prepared to begin an inquiry on national transport policy. The brief was filled in response to a preliminary questionnaire from

It urged “continued independent operation and ownership of the different modes of transportation.”

Listeners Up in Soap Operas,

WASHINGTON, April 11 (U. P). —The federal communications commission today was shuffling through hundreds of letters from radio fans requesting the government to end programs ranging from soap operas to murder mysteries. - FCC said the letters were prompted by its recent report criticizing a number of radio stations for “excessive advertising” and programs unsuited to the “public interest.” One writer said his children were being “corrupted” by radio murders and mysteries. Another said there were too many “get-rich-quick” quiz programs. A clergyman sald the “nation is in no condition to lose what little religion it has” He requested a ban on the broadcasting of “insidious remarks” about religion. ‘Humiliate’ Women A New York woman said that if the broadcasters did not stop “humiliating” women, “American housewives are going to band together and seek relief from congress.” “One must step behind the scenes at a broadcasting studio,” her letter said, “to appreciate how far program sponsors have gonedn insisting that Mrs. American Housewife is public sucker No. 1. “She’ll listen to her radio more intently, it is reasoned, if she can be made to think that her husband is untrue or that her sex life is not as full as it might or should be in’

UNDER ATTACK

{U. S. Attorney Sees Danger-

ous Monopoly.

WASHINGTON, April 11 (U. P), —Assistant -Attorney General Wendell Berge today denounced the Bulwinkle Bill as an attempt to legalize “the most far-flung and dangerous monopoly yet foisted on the nation’s economy.” The measure would exempt rail. road, truck and steamship companies from the anti-trust laws. Mr. Berge, who heads the justice department's anti-trust division, testified against the bill before the Senate Interstate Commerce committee. Because transportation costs are a major factor in every pricing system, he said, passage of ‘the bill would mean a “private government” of carriers, through rate-fixing, could decide whether an industry would live or be stifled. “The power to fix freight rates conveys in a large measure the power of life and death over our competitive économy,” he said. Association Charged Mr, Berge charged arbitrary rate blockades already have been erected by action of the rail combine through interlocking banking influences with steel, oil, cement and other industries. He said this “hier-

INDIANAPOLIS CLEARING HOUSE

Mr. Lea is out to discover what new regulatory legislation may be |

50! needed in the transportation field.

He will be swamped with surface | carrier demands that they be let into air transportation. They think | that is where a large share of the travelling public will be found. Mr. Lea's committee will also explore proposals of some interests that aviation be placed under control of the interstate commerce commission of some new agency. The A. T. A. warned in its brief that placing aviation under the

00 same roof with surface operators 50

would retard its growth. It should be left where it is—under the civil aeronautics board and the civil aeronautics administration -- the brief said. Use Any Means A. T. A. also announced the airopposition to “integrated”
