DIES PUSHES
PLEA FOR FUND

G.NS) Having ended a six
months investigation into Com
munist Nazl and Fascist activl-
ties Chairman Martin Dies of the
House I'm American Activities
Committee today prepared for a
bitter battle in the new Congress
for renewal of the committees
authority.
In spite of attacks on the work
of the committee, Dies is confident
that the House will not only re-
create the committee but will give
it ample funds on which to op-
crate.
Strong New Deal opposition
was laced oy Dies as a result OF
the criticism of the committee
by President Roosevelt and other
officials of the Government.
Dies tentatively planned to
seek 100000 to $250,000 to carry
on a new investigation.
LAS a result of our expert
ence I feel that it would be
futile to try to carry on an
investigation without ample
funds" said Dies. 1T is utterly
impossible to cope with the cum
ming subversive forces unless the
committee has an adequate
staff of trained attorneys. &C
countants and investigators.
Unless Congress sees fit to
provide this, I feel that it would
be futile to go through what
we have experienced in the last
six months. When you realize
that more than $150,000 was
spent counting trees IN Cleve-
land and the monopoly COM
mittee spent 100000 before it
held hearings, you can see that
we have had a pitifully small
fund in the $25 900 allowed u.s."

submit report to the incoming
Congress in which strong recon-
mendations for control of propa

Despite Depression
By ROBERT HUMPHREYS

BY ROBERT HUMPHREYS E
Department of justice attorneys
today charged that in the depres-
sion year of 1882 the Hartford
Empire Company, Hartford, Conn,
doubled its returns on net operat-
ing investments because it had
finally succeeded in gaining a
dominant control over the glass
container industry by acquiring
monopoly on essential patents.
This disclosure was placed be-
fore the joint anti-monopoly COM
mittee as it prepared to conclude
hearings for this year. to draft
report to the next Congress for
changes in the patent or antitrust
laws, or both. in an effort to
prevent the use OF patents TO
circumvent the existing anti
monopoly statutes.
An analysis of the financial
statements of Hartford Empire
prepared by the Justice Depart
ment and accepted as correct by
the company. showed that since
Hartford obtained a dominant
position in 1882 in patent holdings
on glass machinery. its returns on
investment employed in operations
leaped from 4:25 per cent in 1881
to 67.77 per cent last year.
A company executive who was
on the witness stand when the
financial analysis was introduced,
disagreed, however, with the de-
partment as to the cause OF the
increase in profits. The witness.
A. T. Stafford. jr., secretary and
counsel for the Hartford Com
pany, attributed much OF the
concerns increasingly profitable
business to the repeal of prohibi-
ton which stimulated the manu-
facture of whiskey and beer
bottles.
It was in the period 1928 that
two of the largest glass container
manufacturers, Ball Brothers OF
Muncie, Ind, and HazelAtlas OF
Wheeling, w. Va, were brought
under Hartford's patent Struc-
ture, as we're a number of smaller
concerns which had been await
