Repeated explosions Of INT shook
Virginia Beach yesterday in the re-

neers of the District National
Guard, with which they demolished
trees, bridges and roads on the
rifle range here.
Company A, commanded by Cap

and accomplished an almost perfect
retirement, as shots of INT made
impossible the route of the engi'
neers retreat.
During this time Company E
built temporary bridges and pom
toons to allow the theoretical army
to retreat and Company F con-
structed barbed-wire entanglements,
ACCOMPANIED by Company 3. Com
pany F also aided in building field

Besides these activities, there
were close order drill, guard mount
and dress parade.
A conflict in the comn1issary de.
partment was averted by Colonel
Oehmann when he summoned all
supply officers and demanded that
they arrive at a. proper distribution
of food supplies at all units. 1t
had been charged in camp that
soldiers were receiving less than
the minimum amount of ratiors due

occurred when the District Guards.

The identity of the two rrohibi'

in camp is said to be known to
practically the entire guard. The
two suspects are being given the
'schill'' and treated with contempt.

a peace conference was entirely
likely. The Riff delegation, 1t was
said, would be headed by Moham-

Sargent Rules on Power of
Federal Trade Body to Pur-
sue Investigations.

The long awaited decision by the At
torney General as to whether the Fed
eral Trade Commission has power to
conduct Investigations under Senate
resolutions even though they do not
charge specific corporations with anti
trust violations was made public yes
terday by the commission. Attorney
General Sargent decided in the affirm
ative, holding that notwithsta nding
the lack of direct allegations in an in
quiry into the flour milling and cleo
trio power industries, the commission
might, as part of its investigation OF
general charges of antitrust law vio-
la ton contained in the resolution, as
certain and report the facts requested
in reference to costs, prices and
profits.
The commission in July transmitted
to the White House a request for "A
ruling by the Attorney General on the
legality of the inquiries named.
The failure to specify any corpora
ton by name" the opinion said. can
not be given controlling effect, as Con-
gress may properly be reluctant to
charge a corporation with violating
the law In a public resolution. Such al
legation serves merely as a basis for
directing an investigation, and the
better practice clearly would be to
await the results of the investigation
before publicly citing the corporation. -
The Attorney General ruled that the
Commission had the right to proceed
with that part of the Senate resolu-
ton charging the General Electric Co.
with antitrust law violations, but de
clared that he was unable to find au-
thority for it to carry out another pro
vision directing investigation of the
employment by the company of
propaganda against public ownership
of power plants and distribution lines.
