The Federal Governments decision to
proceed against the New York open price
associations in civil proceedings will not
be changed by any differences which
may exist between the Department OF
Justice and Samuel Untermyer, eounsei
for the Lockwood investigating commit
tee Of New York. 1t was SAID authorita-
lively tonight. -.
Attorney-General Daugnerty 4ei'
Washington to-day for week END trip
without issuing any official reply 10 the
caustic references made TO him by MI.
Irntermver and the latter's assertion that
the Governments course was hotiiiie
less than "a travesty."
Although Mr.. Untermyer's charges
that the Attorney General Is not follow
ing out his original purposes by max.
ing criminal prosecutions occasloneo
considerable surprise. 1t was declared
that despite these criticisms the Attor-
ney-Cenerars course would not oe al
tered.
The JJntermyer statement came just
after what was described at the Depart
mAnt as cordial understanding be-
tween Untermyer and the Department
upon the Governments plan mad peen
reached.
Conferences in New York earlier in
the week by Assistant Attorney-General
Goff. District Attorney Hayward ana
Mr.. Untermyer were at first oeheVed
of a most satisfactory character ana
to insure utmost cooperation between the
Federal and State governments.
Officials close to the Attorney-General
tonight declared the Attorney-Generar s
initial move through a civil suit for a
restraining order against certain build
ing interests in New York must not be
construed as an indication of the entire
policy with respect to proflteering.
1t was said that this phase OF the
New York prosecutions form only
minor part of a general plan, now
clearly outlined. for investigations and
prosecutions upon a nationwide scale
of profiteers and others who have en-
gagged in unlawful practices either to
fix prices or to stifle competition.
Until the investigation has gotten
fully under way throughout the country
the Attorney General will be unable TO
outline his entire programme or to teli
whether civil or criminal prosecutions
will be warranted.
Mr. Daugherty is determined to build
up his department to point that 1t
will be considered capabbe of meeting
the opposition expected in the prosecu-
tions now planned. 1t was declared that
through the many criminal actions au-
thorized. directed more particularly
against grafters on war contracts. every
effort will be made to send the more
serious offenders to jail, and that
through civil actions also against the
same concerns and individuals efforts
would be made to recover for the Gov
ernment enormous sums illegally col
lected on fraudulent contracts.

Strong opposition has arisen in the
House to the bill passed by the Senate
without debate which would deny to an
individual the right to insist on Fed

TO a Federal Judge power to bring de-

REDUCES ENGINES SIZE
FOR CLASSIC AUTO RACE

r. E. Myers. secretary and manager
of the Indianapolis Speedway. has an
nounced that the 1923 race would be
for cars powered with engines having
a maximum piston displacement of 122
cubic inches.
This is the fifth time that the In
.dianapolis track has reduced the en-.
sine sizes for the cars competing in
the five-eentury. Onhand such re-
ducti0ns would seem to reduce the
speed Of the cars. Such is not the
case. The .automotive engineers al
ways have been equal to the occasion.
The 1929 race will have engines
smaller than anything now built in
America Such reductions have al
ways been reflected in the stock pro-
duction of the American makers.
The "crucible Of raciug" has proved
to the satisfaction Of the engineers
that fuel economy could be effected by
reducing the engine sizes. In the last
race the average cars mileage was
ten to the gallon. Two years hence II
should pass the twelve-mile mark
Other than the announcement Of the
engine limitations no specifica tions
have been made public.
