HIGH COURT GETS
BIG TRUST" CASE
American Sugar Institute
Charged With Price
Manipulation.

Shortly after the Supreme Court
had convened yesterday, Government
lawyers submitted what they termed
the Largest antitrust case In his
tory"
It involves the suit against the
American Sugar Institute, Inc, and
16 cane sugar companies. whose out
put in recent years has been "as high
as $500, 100000 a year."
The case was brought up from a
New York district court and Solicitor
General Stanley Reed moved that
2,61s pages Of exhibits be added to
the lengthy record already filed.
Government lawyers charge the
Institutes trade agreements" went
farther than N. r. A. codes, which
were operated under a suspension OF
portions of the antitrust laws.
Price Fixing Charged.
ice-fixing arrangements, price,
posting rules and boycotts to control
the market are among the As viola
tions of the Sherman act charged IN
the Governments briefs.
The institutes answer Is that 1t
sought only "open prices, publicly an
nounced," the prevention of discrini-
nation among buyers and "to bring
competition out into the open."
The court admitted 113 attorneys to
practice and also heard a motion con-
cerning a petition for writ Of habeas
corpus to obtain the release of Thomas

connection with the 1916 preparedness
day parade bombing in San Francisco.

Irving C. Root, chief engineer for

morning that the commission has not
passed upon the zoning change ap-
plication as yet for plans for the
homes have not been completed and
probably will not be finished before
the hearing. He said his commission
would submit its recommendation to
the county commissioners at that
time.
However, the Bethesda Chamber of
Commerce indorsed the proposed
change and the housing project by
an overwhelming vote at its meeting
last night. Only two members op-
posed the proposal.
william L. Miller, president OF
Thomas J. Fisher & Co., Inc, of
Washington, said that his firm Is
serving as agent for the developers
of the tract, but he refused to dis
close the identity of the latter.
Financing 'Plan Presented.
Miller said, however, that the tenta-
tive plan for financing the housing
project with Federal funds had been
presented to officials Of the Federal
Housing Administration for their con-

tentatively.
He said that the homes will be Of

VAN DUzER URGES
UNDERPASS PLAN
'Takoma Citizens Told That
Pedestrian Lights Are
Impractical Here.

Traffic director William A. Van
Duzer, speaking before meeting Oh
the Citizens Association Of TaKoma,
D. c., last night, outlined tratf1c
problems confronting District ofhclals
and urged adoption OF an underpass
plan for pedestrians at HAZARDOUS
downtown intersections.
He pointed to Fifteenth street ana
New York avenue as an intersection
where an underpass would serve to
advantage. The passes would cross
four ways at intersections, he SAID,
allowing free flow of traffic and at
the same time affording safety to
pedestrians. Los Angeles, he pointed
out, has 78 underpasses.
AS regards the proposed pedestrian
light, Van Duzer explained that With
the present progressive system OF
traffic lights it would be impractical.
Selden M. Ely, director OF the
Schoolboy Patrol, and Richard M.
Ham, director of safety of the Dis
trict of Columbia Motor Club, Amerl-
can Automobile Association, also
spoke. The meeting was held at the
Takoma Park Branch of the Public
Library, Fifth and Cedar streets.
Ely stressed the value of the school
boy patrol system here and lauded It's
members for their work. Ham pointed
to the $4,000 traffic fatalities last year
as a warning to motorists against reck-
less driving. More than 100000 per-
sons were injured, in addition to the
deaths, he said.
Unanimous Endorsement was given
The Evening Stars safety campaign
with adoption of resolution intro
duced by George E. Sullivan, chairman
of the associations Law and LeglSla-
ton Committee.
Opposition was expressed to the re-
cent proposal that revenues from the
gasoline tax here be expended FOL
general purposes. The association
resolved that 'if any change is to be
made in the present law governing the
application of such revenues it should
not be to enable the application tc
general purposes, but rather to mat
ters directly relating to automobile
traffic, such as more efficient methods
of traffic control"

ROBINSON REPLIES
TOKOOvER SPEECH
Declares Attack WAS What

From an Ex.PreSident.'

Senator Robinson, Democrat. OF
Arkansas says Herbert Hoover's Oak
land (Calif) address, attacking the
New Deal, was what might reason
ably have been expected OF an ex-
President, defeated in his effort at
reelection, who Is seeking TO get
back"
The statement Of Robinson, who Is
Democratic leader in the Senate. was
issued through the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. In it he accused
Mr.. Hoover of "misstatements and
distortions of the ordinary propa-
gandist" and of bookkeeping errors"
ranging from $4,000, 100000 to $s,00o,-
100000 in discussing Government
finances.
He suggests" Robinson said, that
the inevitable result Of the Roosevelt
administration, If it perseveres, Is that
we shall see one of these three horse
men ravage the land-taxation. or
reputation, or imitation
TT seems to me that the general
opinion of the country is that If Mr..
Hoover had been reelected and his
drifting, do-nothing policy had per-
severed, the horsemen we would have
had to face would have been whole
sale starvation, complete bankruptcy
| or revolution.
Like every other Republican speak
er of the present era, while deploring
the relief expenditures, he gives no
hint of any project, plan, or even an
idea of substitute program to keep
the unemployed from hunger and
hardship until such a time as indus
try can and will put them back to

WILL ASA GOBBLE UP
EUROPE2

A noted French authority on po-
lpulation states that In 10 years
there will be 140; 1000 1000 Mongo-
Holds In Eurasia and only 20;000;-
900 more whites In Europe; and
THAT in 100 years from now the
yellow race will have become so
numerous that Asia will no longer
possess either the economic or
physical means to contain It:
Another Ghengis Khan will then
lead hungry Asiatic masses on an
invasion Of Europe through Rus
sia
And that will mean the COM
plete submergence of the whites;
the destruction OF their "time-hon-
ored institutions" and the replace
ment OF "their magnificent civili-
zation:"
The white race In Europe has
done and continues to do its best
to invite some such fate:
The fecund peoples Of Asia have
no time for birth control: The
only thing that has kept their
population within bounds has been
their high death rate: Japan has
recently reduced the margin be-
Tween its birth and death appre-
ciably And II China ever gets over
Its civil wars and goes In whole
sale for modern medicine; santa
|tion and flood control its rate OF
population increase will be vastly
accelerated: The same applies to
India:
Always superior in man-power;
Asia has been; at tthe Vests knee
an apt pupil in the art OF war;
And now the West is setting 1t
an example in territorial and COM
mercial greed; anger; arrogance
and ambition; anything but toler-
ance and good will among nations:
The World War did much to ex-
pose the shallowness Of the Vests
claim to superiority: Sun Yat-sen
saw through the sham of Western
political morality; when he urged
Japan to stay out of the war and
let Europe cut its own throat un-
assisted: Japan would then be In
a stronger position to assert its
hegemony OF Asia and ultimately
to dictate to the West:
