The Department of Justice, in setting

by State laws, are held TO be ample,

projected price war. These with few
exceptions commend the program Mr..

instances are welcoming the depart

the previous administration. and was
aimed primarily at boarding for
speculation and other activities calcu

rests and prosecutions resulted before
