U. 5. Polish Disputes
Underline tension
In Soviet Sphere
BY the Assoeioisd Press

An almost unprecedented ex-
change of "unofficial" diplomatic
rebukes between Soviet-backed
Poland and the United States
provided fresh evidence today of
mounting tension stemming
from RuSsia's sphere of influ-

Even as powerful American feet

but said the Polish objections were
not valid because the Big Three
declarations of Yalta and Potsdam
pledged this country, along with
Great Britain and Russia, to guar

In that war-torn country.
3. The manner of the entire ex-
change was highly unusual. Instead
of formal reply to the American
note, the Embassy issued its blast
in the form of a press release. Simi-
larly, the State Departments retort

Fire Started by Conviets.
The sensational report was spread
while the cotton mill at Kilby Prison
here was still snoldering from a

which Night Warden w. D. Weston
said was started by convicts.

Citing recent statements by the
President that Federal expendi-

theory that the dangers of imitation

main unemployed on the false

The union said it was disturbed
because the President has not
specified which peacetime functions
are to be curtailed, but has dis
cussed only the size of overall
personnel cuts.
"It is difficult to. distinguish any
important differences between these
orders and the statements which

He expressed hope that the

Mr.. Patterson voiced confidence

The transfer of domestic atomic

Antitrust Unit Probes
Monopoly Practices in
Sales 10 Government
BY the Associated Press

The Justice Department said to-
day it is investigating identical bid
ding and monopoly practices in the
sale Of many products bought in
vast quantities by Federal, State
and city governments.
An official acquainted with the
inquiry refused to specify the items
involved, but said they are products
essential to Government operations
and to public health and safety.
Presumably the list might include
such things as motor vehicles, elec-
trical equipment and building mate
rials, although it was emphasized
that not all manufacturers or deal
ers in any one product are suspected
of illicit practices.
Antitrust Unit Investigates.
The department Official said the
investigation is being conducted by
the antitrust division.
The inquiry stemmed from COM
plants OF identical bidding, he said
adding that agents uncovered evil
dence of alleged conspiracies and
monopolies in the sale Of many items
Two antitrust actions already have
been filed as result of the prelim-
mary inquiry and others probably
will follow soon, the official said.
Illegal Practices Found.
He declared the investigation ha.
uncovered such practices as:
/. Lowering of bids in areas o1
tough competition. When price
slashes have eliminated competition
bids have been increased back tt
higher levels.
2. Rotating of bids among com
panies.
8. Allocating cities to one COM
pany exclusively.
A. Identical bidding, or bids in
which identical figures appear SC
frequently as to suggest collusion.
S. Buying out of small companies
to eliminate competition.
Five corporations and six indivi-
duals were indicted last month on
charges Of conspiring to restrain
and monopolize the stencil duph-
eating industry, the official said.

all colleges and universities.
The clash of military practically with
academic theory is already producing some
interesting results on both. Most college
authorities advise returning veterans that
curriculum selections should include liberal
arts courses to prepare them for the broad
problem of adult life" But servicemen insist
on taking courses that will help them earn the
best possible living in the shortest possible
time.

Colleges have added many technical
courses, kept them moving at a wartime
pace. For their part, veterans are buckling
down to liberal arts courses that are good

veterans is the mounting divorce rate. Here
