UNIVERSITY, Va, July 8.-Dr
Myron w. Watkins of New York Uni
versity told the antitrust round table
of the Institute of Public Affairs here
TODAY the reorganization of industry is
the only way out Of the economic
"moraSS"
The speaker, a former director Of the
antitrust investigation by the national
legislative safeguards were necessary for
the public protection.
Everywhere" he said, I've see the
same human frailty, and everywhere
some established institutional authority
to correct or at least to condemn the
misteps which lead men aStray."
Charles F. Abbott of New York, who
spoke at the same round table, said
that If given a chance business leaders
could, through cooperative effort, re-
store a measurable prosperity
Can Stop Price-Cutting.
He said that unless price-cutting can
be stopped and prices advanced to a
point where they will show reason
able profit, then wages must be fur
Their reduced increasing the volume OF
unemployment"
Defending the antitrust laws from
charges that they in part contributed
to the depression, Prof. James A. Nc
Laughlin of the Harvard Law School,
asserted there has been mo substantial
evidence to indicate that enforcement
of the antitrust laws is in any sub
stantial way responsible for the de-
preston"
He blamed credit imitation for pres
ent economic conditions.
Although recommending continuance
of provisions of the antitrust law pre-
venting combinations in restraint OF
trade, John w. Van Allen, general
counsel of the Radio Manufacturers
Association, advocated amendment OF
the laws to permit trade associations
to advise on conditions and trends IN
the industry.
Urges County Reforms.
Reforms in county government to
bring about greater progress IN the ex
nloration of the dark continent OF

speakers. ,..,o4,os cor
rotary of the National Municipal League
~ New York. said the county-manager
movement has created wide interest
"due to the common feeling tnat tne
most obvious weakness of county gov
eminent is its rleedlessneSs."

interest will take fire in action, II ana
when experience writes convincing
record of the effectiveness of the plan
John A. Fairlie, professor of political
science at the University of Illinois,
presented a general scheme for local
government reconstruction TO meet
present-day needs.
THE survival of outgrown and made

in operation" the speaker said. I'm the

On the one hand there is excessive in
reference by the State in local affairs,
and on the other there is in some mat

ROMANCE

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 81 GN.SJ. d.
In the old conflict between mar

out second best again in Holly
wood today.
Janet Gaynor. winsome little
exponent Of Pollyanna roles on
the screen. and her lawyer hus-
band. Lydell Peck, have separated.
In somewhat the same fashion
that Ann Harding announced the
end of her marriage with Harry
Bannister, Miss Gaynor gave out
the news of her separation from
Peck.
Miss Harding and BanniSter
wrote personal notes to news
paper representatives while MISS
Gaynor's attorney, Lloyd Wright,
gave out a formal statement on
her separation from her husband.
No divorce is contemplated, at
least Immediately, by the Pecks.
Wright said:
Because of conditions over
which neither party has any
control, Miss GaynOr and her
husband have separated. 1t
was caused entirely by clashes
of temperament and the re-
Quirements of their profession
upon their time. It was simply
another case in which husband
and wife have looked frankly
at a situation. Both Miss Gay
nor and Peck still entertain the
deepest admiration and respect
for each other and regret the
necessity of their separation"
