Plant Expansion Feared
Temptation to Socialism

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 20-Wal-
ter D. Fuller. Philadelphia, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Manufacturers says that despite
defense officials assurances to the
contrary, the evidence certainly in
dicates that free enterprise is in
real danger and it is our job to
fight"
Fuller, in an address yesterday,
said the Government had invested
S2,5O0000,OO0 in new factories and
helped private industry in an s829,-
100000 expansion for defense.
Surely, unless free enterprise
uses its tools of advertising and
selling it to the utmost" he said,
"the result will be temptation to
Socialism. Government operation of
these plants in competition with
private industry can be avoided by
leaving no loophole of idle capacity"
