COMPETITION OF
 GOVERNMENT IS
 VERY DAMAGING

Washington. Sept 21.-.(UP)- Cost to privatS industry of govern ment competition was estimated today by Chairman Joseph E. Shannon of the house Investigating committee at more than $600,000.- 900 annually.
 The Shannon committee has conducted hearings in half a doz- cn cities. The chairman believes pthe inquiry could continue for a
 year without developing all the facts Of government manufacture and sale of merchandise in com petition with private business.
 He told the United Press before departing for Philadelphia to ad- dress group of insurance men that the investigation probably would reach the White House this week. He said he understood the White House table depended on the so-called Treasury Butter club for some of its dairy products.
 The Treasury Butter club, shan non said, operates as did the In- comco. club whose merchandising activities in behalf of interstate commerce commission employees has just been terminated after all attack by shannon.
 T believe the Treasury Butter club obtains supplies in large quan- titles and retails them to the White House, to treasury empl6yes and employees of other depart. ments," Shannon told the United Press. T understand deliveries are made to the various depart ments in trucks and that local re. tailers suffer in consequence.
 We already have some legisla- ton to correct this evil of govern ment competition with private bus iness," shannon told the United Press. "But what best would stor it would be a hard-headed man ir the White House. An executive order could shut up these cafeter- ias, food stores, clothing stores and special service organizations over. night"
