SERVICE MEN TELL
THEIR EXPERIENCES
Four Provide Interesting Pro-
gram AT Meeting Tuesday
Of Rotary Club

Four service men provided an in.
tefesting program for the Rotary
club Tuesday by taking a few para.
graphs from their books of exper-
fence in the army and navy. The
four were home on furloughs and
leaves and at the invitation of
Paul Void, January program COM
mitteeman, they spoke extempor-
aneously at the meeting.
PFC. G. A. Shay from a railroad
battalion in the east told of the
work his outfit does in preparation
for taking over operation of a rail-
road in a foreign country. Rail
transportation in an invaded or oc-
cupied country is often essential
to the success of the forces, and the
training such battalions receive on
this side is highly important. He
briefly described some of his train
ing and the work his outfit does in
contributing to the continuous flow
of materials of war. Many of the
men are specialists and have had
experience in railroad work in civil
liam life.
Lieut.. C. H. Phillips of the
air arm has been serving as
instructor in flying since his grad
but indicated he expected
TO be moved to combat. The train
ing the navy filters received is long
and thorough, and endurance is one
IF the several qualifications. He
mentioned some of the phases of
preparation and described natural
.onditions prevailing where he re-
:eived his training.
Loren L. Palmer, aviation cadet
n the army's air force, told of
iome of the work he is doing in
hat branch of the service. Like
he navy's training the army's too
5 often arduous. He was a sports
tar at Laurel high school and later
It the University of Minnesota.
'oordintion necessary for success
n sports may also be essential in
rmy or navy flying.
The last speaker was Sgt. Donald
'cheidecker, who recently arrived
ere on furlough after more than
hree years overseas. He was en-
QUITE to the South Pacific when the
APPS struck at Pearl Harbor on
Zee. 7, 1941. The outfit arrived in
australia and was welcomed by the
eople as protectors. Those first
lonths in the South Pacific were
OF so good, for the Allies were
a delaying action while
altering strength for the often
We that came later.
The outfit moved to India where
ergeant Scheidecker has since
oent most of the time. He did
ot discuss army affairs, but told
bout the country, the people who
We there and their way of life.
ONE statements were surprising.

And, upon q full trial, it may well
be that evidence produced would

Until now it has been unques-

equally hold true whether the de-
fendant is a single corporation deal
ing with many persons in trade or
commerce or an instrumentanty set
up by number Of business enter
prises to serve them all on a CO.
operative basis.
The argument Of the Government
seems to assume that UP and ms,
independent corporations, in spite
of their size, are not monopolies or
attempts to monopolize because they
deal at arms length with their pa
irons, whereas there is something
sinister about AP because it deals
on the same terms with its own
members. I cannot perceive how.

ton Of the statute, UP and ms do

tices of the one is absent in those
of the others.
Fifth-The courts opinion, under
the guise of enforcing the Sherman
Act, IN fact renders AP public
utility subject to the duty to serve
all on equal terms. This must be
so, despite the disavowal of any
such ground of decision.
The District Court made. this pub
lie utility theory the sole basis
Of decision, because it was unable
to find support for a conclusion
that AP either intended or at
tempted to, or in fact did, unrea-
sonably restrain trade or monopolize
or attempt to monopolize all or
any part Of any branch Of trade
within the decisions Of this court in
terpreting and applying the Sher-
man Act.
Realizing the lack Of support for
any other, the Government urges
that the District Courts ground
Of decision is sound and that this
court should adopt it. Judge Swan,
in his dissent below, has sufficiently
disposed of this point (see footnote
12). And I refer to his opinion, in
which / concur, without quoting or
paraphrasing it.

foreign news. The facts and fig
ures I have cited above indicate NO
intent or attempt to absorb the en-
tire field Of news gathering and re-
porting, to exclude all others from
the field, or to take over the entire
field, to the end that no newspaper
or combination of newspapers can
obtain reports Of the news.
Paragraph 3 Of the complaint
charges an attempt to monopolize
part of trade and commerce and
a combination and conspiracy to
monopolize the same. The answer
specifically denies the allegation
The amazing growth Of competing
agencies, and their size, would seem
to indicate that any such supposed
intent or attempt had been i'll

all events, there is no room in a
summary judgment proceeding
based on the facts of record, for
any such finding.
Fourth-have the defendants Gre

portions as in fact to monopolize
any part Of trade or commerce?
In answering the inquiry need do
little more than refer to the facts
already summarized. The opinion
seeks support for a holding Of mo-
nopolization, by referring to a find
ing Of the District Court, in these
words:

lated organization, the largest of its
kind, gathering news from all owe,

1t is worth while to quote the

Union Vets Throw
CHARGE At Avery

w A S H n G I 0 N, Nov. Is
(LPA) - Union-hating Sewell
Avery last week faced charges
filed with the Natl Labor Rela-
tions that Montgomery Ward
has violated the Wagner Act
Irving Abramson, national di-
rector of organization for the
United Retail, Wholesale md
Dept Store Employees-CIO, in
letter to NLRB chairman Paul
Herzog charged that "the COM
pany has failed to bargain In
good faith, and has consistently
refused to alter its position with
respect to such vital collective
bargaining matters as arbitra-
ton, seniority, checkoff, and
union security"
Avery's traditional anti-union
policies have now extended to
veterans who have engaged in
union activities. The Natl Con-
ference of Union Labor Legion
naires, representing 1913 Amer
ican Legion posts of AFL and
CIO members, advised Selective
Service Director Lewis Hershey
that Montgomery Ward seems
to be bent on a policy of dis
charging veterans without re-
gard to the national policy of
our country to secure for these
veterans a place in our national
economy"

Hit ConScripfion

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (LPA)
An appeal for U. S. leadership
in obtaining agreement of the
nations of the world to disarm,
and to create an international
police force, was the answer OF
the CIO Executive Board last
week to President Truman's pro-
posal for compulsory peacetime
military training.
"We believe" the Board reso-
luton says, "that the energies
of all Americans, through their
government, should be concen-
trated on the solution of the
econmic and social problems
which produce war and not on
the development and acceptance
of policy of militarization
which defies the ideals for which
we profess to be fighting at this
moment"
Sharper opposition was ex-
pressed by the president of the
CLOS largest union, R. j..
Thomas of the United Auto
Workers, who wired President
Truman that peacetime military
training ICON be of no contribu-
ton to world peace it is a threat
to our democracy its cost is tre-
mendous. We vigorously protest
your recommendation to Con-
gress and consider it a major
and tragic error of your admin
istration."
Hearings on the proposal for
military training for all youth
are beginning before the House
Military Affairs Committee on
November 7.
