DENIES HE BROKE RULE

Beaulieu, France. April 17 R9- Both Big Bill Tilden and Karel Kozeluh, professional tennis cham pion of the world, expressed sur prise today that their match yester- day afternoon had aroused com ment as a possible violation of the rule against an amateur playing professional.
 They declared that no tennis rule had been broken as their meeting would be technically known as a practice" match just as most am ateurs playing on the Riviera utilize club professionals for training.
 Tildel won their contest 6-4. 64.
 Tilden said he had been playing q certain number. of matches daily to keep in condition, but as the pres+ ent tournaments are small he has been playing with w. F. Coen, the Kansas City star. Coen was away yesterday and when the center court here became vacant Tilden substi- tuted with kozeluh who had come to the courts as spectator, as the best available. material for a work out.
 The match developed into a grim battle with the spectators deserting the first court to watch Big Bills first encounter with the professional champion.

 000,000 Trust Despite Law

Washington, April 17.-(UP)-A new giant of the radio world added another important industrial merger today to the list of nearly 100 recent combinations engaging attention Of the governments legal experts charged with enforcement of the antitrust laws.
 Acquisition by the Radio Corpora tion of America of the manufactur- ing and engineering radio interests of the General Electric and West inghouse Electric companies has brought renewed charges of a gi- gantic radio monopoly"
 Independent radio interests de- manded immediate prosecution oi what they termed the 5000, ,000,- GOO radio trust" while Attorney General Mitchell announced yestcr- day the justice department will make thorough inquiry to learn whether 1hc newest radio merger violates the sherman or Clayton Antitrust laws.
 " Illit tllt .lHSNINt utpdl tllltuL pl'- pared 10 investigate radio mergers. two important movements looking toward the restriction of monopollcs are under way in the senate inter- state commerce committee.
 Proposes New Body
 One IS embodied in the Couzens bill for formation of a commission on communications. This proposed body would supervise all communi- cations companies, both wire and wireless, as we'll as firms carrying power across state borders. It would have supervisory powers far wider than those now exercised by the federal power and federal radio commissions.
 The committee also is holding hearings 10 determine the advisabili- ty of deprlving the interstate con- mcrCe commission of it's railroad merSer-approving power until con- eress can enact new legislation ito protect the public" from monopolics
 The federal government now has

pending in l.. s. district courts more than 50 suits attacking alleged monopolies under these antitrust statutes. It also is investigating about 60 other recent mergers with view to possible prosecution.
 Shortly after assuming office, At torney General Mitchell proclaimed a vigorous policy against combina tions acting in restraint of trade. Subsequently, he modified the de- partmcnt's practice of passing on the legality of a merger prior 10 it's 
 Is NOn- COmmittal
 While the department still re- views merger projects voluntarily submitted in advance. it is extreme ly cautious about committing the government on the likelihood of court action. If a merger is found the department merely advises those concerned it sees no cause for immediate prosecution.
 In line with it's policy of testiag all doubtful mergers in the courts, the department recently instituted suit in St. Louis courts against the Standard Oil of New York Vacuum oil merger. It is now Investigating the proposed merger of the Bethle- hem Steel and Youngstown Sheet X Tube companies. Many prominent motion picture concerns are under scrutiny and several suits are pend- ing against such firms.
 Announcement of the projected RCA-General Electric Westinghouse merger brought statement from Senator Dill. republican, Washing ton. who takes a keen interest in radio developments. Dill said the merger was being formed 10 'domin- ate the manufacturing radio business of the world"
 Dill blamed the justice department for not going ahead with its prose- cution Of the Radio Corporation un- der the antitrust laws. He said he hoped the department would make a careful study of the new merger proposal.
