General Electric's WORLDWIDE
grasp on the lamp bulb industry
has given it power "transcendlng
that of the US. Congress" and
constitutes a danger to world
peace, the Justice Dept. has
charged.
The departments chief counsel,
Leonard ]. Emmerglick, summing
I'D the governments antitrust
suit against GE and six other
companies, based his charge on
cartel agreements with German,
Japanese, Dutch and other for
eign firms. The Phoebus cartel,
he asserted, carved the world
market into exclusive territories
for each major company to ex-
plot.

by Westinghouse and dissolved.
Opening the governments final
argument, Emmerglick traced the
development of international car
tells and "the increasing concen-
tration of wealth and power in
industry in the hands of a few,
and outlined how GE has "stifled
competitors and monopolized
lamp bulb production and sales"
THIS, he said, was done by:
ID foreign cartels, operating
throughout the war, with Ger
man Orsam Gesellschaft, Tokyo
Denki, Dutch Phillips Clio Lamp
and other foreign firms; (2) pat
.ent pools with Westinghouse and
others of the indicted companies,
which stifled inventive progress;
O phony licenses and agency
systems which lacked up prices
long after patents expired
Explaining how GE controls
the domestic lamp market, En-
merglick said GE set up a quota
system for other lamp manufac-
turers which they cannot exceed.
BY means of a network of IL
cense agreements, GE maintains
effective control over these firms.
At the same time it exclusively
controls items vital to lamp man.

torneys' claim that GE reached
its position of leadership in the
industry by research, develop

products at lower prices. Instead,
he charged, GE "has suppressed

ASHEVILLE VOTES
ON abe STORES
Approximately 10000
Voters Expected To Par
ticipate In Election

ASHEVILLE, Nov. 3-P-
During 12-hour period, from o:3o
a m. to $50 p. M, voters IN
the "a precincts of Ashville Will
stream to the polling places to
cast their ballots for or against
the establishment of an Alcoholic
Beverage Control store here.
Leaders of both camps tonight
urged voters to turn out early
and get their ballots in the box.
The United States weather
bureau has predicted warm
weather for tomorrow with no
indication of whether or not
rain might be expected. Gener-
ally the condition of the weather
has much to do with the size
of the vote.
Experienced political obser-
vers tonight said that the total
vote would probably run around
10000 to 10000 votes, although
the registration books show
something more than 10000 eli
gible voters.
1t is generally conceded that
a light vote will favor the stores,
with the contest tightening with
a rise in the total vote, although
all figuring on the result is mere

only "small changs" in prices

large number of grades were
from 81 to 50 higher, but "about

alities and some leaf and lug
grades were up from SO to 81.

YANKEE

Even scholarly Circuit Judge
John c.. Stennis of Dekalb found
it necessary to comment mildly
that Mississippi would make her
own decisions on such matters.
Magazines Criticized
Singled out especially for
criticism have been Time and
Life magazines, Newsweek, the
New York Times, and Column
lists Drew Pearson and Walter
Winchell.
A New York Times account of
the Mississippi campaign, written
by veteran reporter John Pop
ham, was read repeatedly from
the stump by some candidates
in an effort to link opponents
with what they called "the Miss
issippi liberal element and the
Negro vote" Rankin capitalized
on unflattering reports in Time
magazine, and heaped personal
vituperation upon Time and Life
correspondent William Howland
of Atlanta.
Opponents bayed their disap-
proval when Drew Pearson pre-
dicted last week the probable
election of Judge Stennis, and
Forrest Jackson declared the
columnist ''cost Judge Stennis
10000 votes"
The report of President Tru-
mans committee on civil rights,
urging immediate ending of segre-
gatyon of the whites and Ne
groes, was seized upon by most
candidates as fresh evidence of
Yankee animosity toward the
South.
Republican Silent
L. R. Collins, lone Republican
candidate, has made no public
campaign and remained silent.
Between 100000 and 225,OOO
voters are expected to cast bal
lots tomorrow if the weather is
fair. In the event of rain, which
was not excluded, all candidates
predicted a small vote. The man
who gains a plurality will serve
out the remaining five years of
Bilbo's unexpired term.
Polls open at a. m. and close
at 6 p. m. (CST).

newsmen and photographers
the story of his flight.
Received News
The bald broad-shou1dered
Polish leader who left his coun-
try on Oct. 20 said he received
news the day the present Polish
parliament opened that immun-
ity would be taken away from
him. Stefan Korbowski and
Kasimir Bajinski. All were
Peasant Party members OF
parliament.
''I knew also they made plans
in advance with military
court to sentence us to death, "
he added. Korbowski and Balm
ski were members of the party
that fled with Mikolajczyk.
"After I got the news they
were going to arrest us I made
a decision to go away, because,
after all, they would sentence
us to death and our people
would try to avenge us and
cause unnecessary bloodshed, -
Mikolajczyk said.
The 46-year-old former leader
of the Polish Government In
Exile was obviously tired from
the ordeal of the last 13 days.
To one question of whether he
planned to continue political ac.
tivity he replied
Il want to 60 to sleep"
No Immediate Plans
He said he had no immediate
plans for the future and de-
clined to state whether he
hoped to form an anti-Soviet
bloc oustide Poland, or whether
he would 60 to the United
States.
The British government h d
pledged in the House of Com
mons few days after he fled
Poland that he would be given
refuge in England.

bands disappearance was first

He posed for photogr aphers in
the living room of their six
room home with his arm around

Asked if his Warsaw compan-
ions who fled with him were
safe, he replied $50 far as
know they are safe" Those who
escaped with him were his Sec
retary, Marie Hildwicz; Win
Gently Bryja, treasurer of tn e
Polish Peasant Party, Korbow-
ski, Bajinski and their wives.
He said he left Warsaw by
train on Oct. 20, crossed the
country's heavily guarded
Western frontier and the Soviet
one of Germany, and then pro-
ceeded to the British zone. He
declined to disclose the point
where he found safety there,
