Prosecution Favors
Suspended Sentences
In Artificial Limb Suif

Recommendations for fines or
suspended sentences for defendants
in the Sherman antitrust artificial
limbs case were presented to JUS
tice Bower Broaddus in District
Court today by Daniel B. Britt, spe-
cial assistant to the Attorney Cen
eral.
Eight members of the artificial
limb industry were found guilty yes
terday of violating the antitrust
act through price fixing and con-
spiracy.
Hammond Chaffetz, defense coun-
sci representing Association of Arti-
fetal Limb Manufacturers of Amer
lea and so other defendants, who
have pleaded nolo contendre, urged
Judge Broaddus to impose suspend
ed sentences on the defendants,
requiring them to comply for a
year with the Federal Trade Com
missions newly adopted rules of
practice for the artificial limbs in
dustry.
Justice Broaddus said he expects
to announce his decision on some
Of the sentences Saturday while
others will be dealt with on Mon
day. He said he did not wish to
dissolve the Association Of Artificial
Limb Manufacturers of America,
saying it can be quite helpful" in
exchanging information, raising
standards of the industry, and pro-
noting worthwhile code of ethics.
He said its guilt lies in furnishing
a means for raising prices by con-
certed action. Mr.. Chaffetz de-
clared that $1,000 fine for the as
sociation would be ample"
The defendants held guilty, all
OF whom had waived jury trial,
were: j. E. Hanger, Inc, a Della
ware corporation doing business
here at 221 G street NV; separate
corporations of the same name in
Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and

transportation was being frightened

refugees departed yesterday.
The ghostlike procedure in these
movements is caused by the fact
that some of the refugees techni-
cally entered Germany illegally and
the Allies have not recognized their
existence except as "infiltrees."
Most of them were victims of
Nazi persecution during the war.

ing. In the last three days more
than 500 Jews have arrived at
