Charge Du Pont
Deal Held Up
Defense Lulite
Secret Agreement
Indirectly Tied Up
With German Firms

WASHINGTON. April II (UP)
Special Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Walter r. Hutchinson charged
today that E. I. Ia Pont dc Ne,
mours & Co. was unable 10 meet
1871 defense deliveries of lucite-
vital material for military planes
because of a restrictive cross
licensing patent agreement.
In testimony before the Senate
patents committee, Hutchinson
said that Du Pont, in an attempt
20 avoid patent litigation over
lucite. contaminated the cross
licensing agreement with Rohm &
Haas, Inc, Of Philadelphia in 1899.
II limited Du Points production of
the material TO one-half of the
output Of the Philadelphia firm,
he asserted.
"In January, 1871, with n ca
pacity of $1,000 square feet of
salable cast sheets per month,
Du Point was so far behind its
orders that 10 was unable 10
quote deliveries before Oct. I,
1884," Hutchinson said.
Hutchinson explained that he
had selected lucite (called plexi-
glas by Rohm & Haas as an ex-
ample of the patent situation in
the plastic field.
NO SUBSTITUTE
Plexiglas and lucite have mo
suitable substitute" in the field of
military aircraft. he explained. He
said they are used for domes and
blister turrets In bombers. They
are similar to glass in compost
ton but are shatterproof.
In 1871. Du Pont wished TO
break the cross-licensing agree
ment and told officials of Robins
& Haas they could either lift the
restraint or Du Pont would inform
: the government Of the license re-
striction," Hutchinson said. The
two firms are still negotiating the
issue, he added.
EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION
The justice department has car
ried ON an extensive investigation
into lucite and plexiglas, he said.
~In the course Of this investi-
CATION, tho antitrust division
discovered there existed five cor
porations, two American, one
English and two German, which
were linked by . series Of secret
cartel agreements" he said.
Hutchinson named the COM
panies as Rohm 4 Haas, Resinous
Products and Chemical Company,
Inc, of Philadelphia (owned by
Rohm & Haas; Rohm & Haas
A. c., Darmstadt, Germany; /. c..
Farbenindustrie. A. c., German
Chemical Trust, and Imperial
Chemical Industries. Ltd, London.
Hutchinson said the cartels were
motivated by a desire to avoid
competition.
Meanwhile. Senator James M.
Mead CD Of New York urged en-
actment of legislation requiring
that American companies entering
into cartel agreements register
them at the justice department.
Mead asserted in a statement
that the European cartel system,
as practiced in Nazi Germany,
has had a most serious restrictive
effect on the ability of the United
States to carry out the vast war
program which is now under way"

House Makes Demand For
Price Administrator Board
of Review

Washington. Jan. GINS A
sudden and vigorous attack by
some House conferees upon "dicta-
tor powers" contained in the price
control bill today delayed an agree
ment in a Senate-House conference
seeking TO harmonic differences
between the two bodies.
Conference leaders again voiced
hope for an agreement as sessions
were resumed today. One conferec
said:
IF we really start TO move we
will move fast, but the dam hasn't
been broken yet"
The Fouse group demand was
said to be for a board OF review
over price-hxing orders OF Price
Administrator Leon Henderson, a
limitation Of his broad power to
buy and sell commodities, and
modification of the licensing pro-
visions.
Despite denials Of any agree
ments, it was reliably reported
that conferees were reconciled to
inclusion OF the Bankhead amend
ment, giving Secretary of Agricul
ture Wickard veto power over
farm price fixing; abandonment Of
the O'Mahoney wage parity amend
ment, and acceptance. perhaps In
modified form. Of the amendment
prohibiting fixing of agricultural
commodity prices below the 1919
1929 level.
While the Senate conferees In.
cluded a majority of stalwart Ad-
ministration men. except for the
question OF farm prices. the House
group was said to be split on non
partisan lines. The Senate group
includes Sens. Brown (D) Mich,
Barley (D) Ky, Glass (D) Va,
and Bankhead Cd Ala.
Rep. Wolcott (R) Mich, was
leading a fight for adoption of the
House provisions for a board OF
review. While the House created
one-man price administrator, II
made his rulings subject to a
board.
