10 ANTITRUST
SUITS UNDERWAY
Attorney General Clark
Says Inquiries Cover
Wide Range

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. -(Pl-
Attorney general Tom Clark said
today that ITO major antitrust in
vestigations now are being con-
Quoted by the Justice department.
They range from housing to
radio parts and from heavy in
dustries to buttons.
Clark said "a number OF the in
vestigatioas involve industries
manufacturing products which Wit
ally affect the production of the
everyday necessities Of life"
The Investigations cover such
fields as food, fuel, electrical equip
ment, metals, optical equipment,
transportation, oil, gas, tires, surgi-
cal supplies, washing machines and
clothing, he said in reply to ques-
tons.
The attorney general declined to
comment further on current in
vestigations. But in discussing
present and future antitrust activi-
ties he empha sized these points:
l. The government will pursue a
realistic and aggressive antitrust
policy.
2. It will emphasize civil divesti-
ture suits.
3. Business as a whole, regard
less of its size, "has nothing to
fear from the Justice department
so long as it lives up to the rules
of competition"
4. The department will devote
special attention to protecting new
industries started by veterans
against trade restraints.
5. AS a new policy, businessmen
are invited to talk over" with
Justice department officials propos-
ed business programs before in
shutting them. In this way prob
able law violations may be elimin-
ated. ..
Clark said the Justice depart
ment twill be most active In the
coming months to prosecute COM
binations in restraint Of trade. At
tempts to monopolize the market
and attempts by private groups to
fix prices"

Majority of Citizens
Expecting Price Rise
During Next 6 Months
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
of Public ODini0n

PRINCETON, N. j., Aug. 10. -
Death and taxes, said Benjamin
Franklin, are the two things most
certain in this world. The Amer
lean people would for the time be-
ing add a third to the list-price
rises.
A truly overwhelming majority
polled from coast to coast are
bracing themselves for a general
price rise during the next six
months, O.P.A. or no O.P.A. More
than nire out of every ten believe
it's coming. Rarely in this country
has such a large majority as that
agreed on anything.
Mr.. Truman and his White
House staff may find it worth not
ing that more voters show a ten
dency to blame Congress or big
business than Mr.. Truman for the
price rises they think are coming.
The average American is not,
Of course, an expert in economics
and his opinion about the future
cannot in any sense be taken as
a forecast of what is going to hap
pen to prices. But the views he
expresses in the coast-to-coast In
stitute poll serve as a guide to the
mood or frame OF mind with which
he faces the future as a consumer.
He's certainly resigned to the idea
that things are going to cost him
more, whether he likes 1t or not.

fore the voters OF the country. The
first:

Some economists will note with
interest that strikes and labor
unions are ranked by the public
comparatively low in the list. A
number of those economists would
put the blame more heavily there,
claiming that the wage rises graS+-
ed last spring to strikers in steel,
petroleum, automobiles, coal, cleo
trical equipment and other basic
industries forced general price
rises all along the line.
The table totals more than 100
per cent because some people gave
more than one answer.
Officials OF the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor would narrow
the blame down even further. Ac-
cording to A.F.L.'s monthly survey
for August, the blame for living
cost rises belongs to the CLIO. The
CLIO. touched the whole thing off.
