BIC FOUR:
IOr Little H.?

The u. S. government spectacu-
lar suit against the ''big four" meat
packing companies-Swift, Armour.
cudahy and Wilson-promised to be
one of the biggest antitrust actions
since President Theodore Roosevelt
said something about carrying big
stick.
Filed by the justice department in
federal court in Chicago, the suit
asks. that the four companies be
broken up into IA separate firms.
Specifically, the U. S. wants Swift
and Armour to be carved into five
separate companies each and Wilson
and Cudahy each to be split into two
firms.
TOM CLARK, attorney general.
said in a statement: ''The four de-
PENDANTS named in the complaint are
charged with suppressing competi-
ton in the sale of meat and meat
products. The Sherman antitrust
law is being invoked in the action.
Clark described the suit as IAN
other in a series of cases instituted
by the department of justice in fur
therance of its program to free the
production and sale of food and food
products from moncpoistic re-
straints."
THE PACKERS had another story
to tell, however, with playing poll
tics" as one of their key phrases.
Said John Holmes, president OF
swift and company: lit is significant
that the charges appear at the be-
ginning of this falls political cam
paign. Apparently an attempt is be-
ing made to shift responsibility for
infationary price trends.
"No one can control either live
stock prices or meat prices" Holmes
fumed.

INFRA-RED:
Frost Killer

The day-or night-of the old ia ash
ioned smudge pot as the main btf-
fer between plants and killing frost
may be nearing an end.
Science has taken over to come
up with a new kind of frost killer,
development of which was. sponsored
by the American Iron and Steel in
stitute.
THE CONTRAPTION, known as
the Plymouth infra-red lamp, is in
fair way to affect materially the
nations agricultural system. the in
stitute thinks.
Reporting on the new device, the
institute pointed out that while farm
ers will find the lamp invaluable in
saving crops during the first touches
of frost, the growing season actual
ly may be extended as techniques
for it's use are developed.
DR.. Arthur w. Farrell of Mich
igan State college, one Of the men
responsible for development of the
infra-red machine, cited an exam
Pile: ''On September 2, 1946, to take
one example, Michigan had two
hour killing frost. The next frost
did not occur until October l, a
month later. Had tomato and melon
growers been able to protect their
crops for about two hours on the
morning of September 2, they would
have had four more weeks of very
favorable growing weather. AS it
was, they lost everything.
"THE FROST dispeller, made up
of sheet steel and little ingenuity,
will put an end to some of natures
nonsense.
The lamp is composed of a cir
cular piece of stainless steel, shaped
in cone-shaped steps, with an oil
burner within the framework. When
the burner is put into action, the
steel heats until it becomes cherry
red. At this point, infra-red rays
are thrown off, spreading over the
area to be warmed, even entering
the ground in their intensity.

INVASION:
Hyderabdd

Events in India were a far cry
from the days when Mohandas
Gandhi's philosophy Of passive
diplomacy prevailed among the af-
fairs of that sub7continent.
Indian troops, strongly supported
by armored units. had invaded the
princely state of Hyderabad (see
map) whose Moslem ruler-called
the Nizam-had refused to join with
the other Indian dominions even
though Hyderabad's population is
predominantly Hindu.
THAT WAS THE whole story. The
Nizam and his small, compact Mos
lem court would not agree to follow
the other Indian princely states in
acceding to the Dominion of India
which was established last year.
The Nizam, often called the rich
est man in the world, and the only
surviving heir of the great Mogul
empire, wanted to rule an independ-
ent ,hyderabad.
Whether he could have succeeded
In doing that, even if the dominion
government had not opened hostili-
ties against him, is questionable.
Hyderabad is completely landlocked
and has no access to the sea except
by courtesy of the states surround
ing it. All of its imports and exports,
therefore, must pass through India.
WHILE HYDERABAD might pro-
fess its independence as "a state,
chances are that the economic and
political conditions of actual indie
pendence never could be achieved.
Can India's invasion of Hyderabad
be justified? Not too easily. if at all.
1t was not matter of sending a
police force into the state to quell
internal disorders. 1t was, apparent
ly, deliberate act of aggression and

Charles E. Hughes
TDo-Cureer Man

To mention the office of secre-
tary of state naturally brings forth
memories of another great states
man who held that office and whose
death occurred recently-Charles
Evans Hughes.
Chief Justice Hughes had a re-
markable career In fact he had
two careers, each lasting 43 years.
The first as a brilliant and success
full lawyer in private practice and
the. second as public servant hold
ing among others two of the highest
positions in public life in America,
secretary of state and chief justice.
1 happened to be present on two
occasions within a few hours of
each other which might be the high
and the low point of any mans ca
reer.
With group of reporters COW
ering his headquarters in New
York on election day I bid him
goodnight, fully believing as he
and all of us did, that he was the
president-elect. I saw him the
next morning when he came to
the door of his hotel room with
grandchild in his arms to take
in the morning paper which re-
corded the late returns from
the West and gave the majority
of the electoral votes to Wood
row Wilson.
That same night Woodrow Wilson
had gone to bed accepting defeat.
The only paper supporting him
which failed to haul down the flag
(signal of Republican victory was
the old New York Evening Post
whose special correspondent, David
Lawrence, had predicted Wilson's
reelection and stuck to it when he
was almost alone in his belief.
How much of a disappointment
Hughes suffered it's hard to say.
No man was ever more. reluctant
about accepting the candidacy and
the fact that he received such a
proportionately large popular vote
must have been qualification enough.
He looked forward with anticipa-
tion and pleasure to his return to
private life but his keen interest in
the law caused him to accept the
judgeship on the world court.
He made brilliant secretary of
state under Harding and continued
under President Coolidge. His Sc
lection as chief justice off the su-
preme court by President Hoover
was perhaps most fortunate
thing in the light of the crisis
brought about by the, famous "court
packing" fight under Roosevelt.
His success as Chief justice
was due not only to his remark
able knowledge of the law but
his tremendous capacity for
work and his ability to reconcile
different points of view among
the members without attempt
ing to enforce his own legal
viewpoint upon the individual.
Hughes was brilliant speaker.
He spoke naturally and easily, yet
with an excellent choice of words.
Although he was extremely digni-
fed in appearance and manner he
was able to convey a warmth of
feeling which Immediately aroused
sympathy and interest in an audi.

Relief Of GaIIinger's

Facilities for psychiatric patients
at Gallinger Hospital will be re-
lieved considerably by the new sys-
tenn of committing patients for OBJ
servation from Municipal Court,
according to DR.. Joseph L. Gilbert,
head of the Gallinger psychiatric
department.
DR.. Gilbert said yesterday he was
delighted" by the announcement of
Chief Judge George P. Barse that
patients will be committed for Pc
riods only as long as Is necessary to
determine their mental conditions.
Judge Barse's action followed a
request by the District Commits
sioners that the practice of commit
ting patients for a straight 30-day
period be changed. The old system
placed an unnecessary burden on
the already overcrowded psychiatric
department, the Commissioners
said.
DR.. Gilbert said that last year,
there were 241 mental cases referred
to the hospital from the court for
the standard 30-day period. He
said that, of these, about three

Communists Forces
Reported Scattered
In Central China
BY the Associated Press

NANKING, July 1O.-Pro-Govern-
ment reports today credited the
national armies with victory over
the Communists on the Honan
plains of Central China, but the
indications we're that the enemy had
been merely scattered - not de-
stroyed.
More than 100 government war
planes we're reported continuing to
hammer at the Communist armies
of Liu Po-cheng and Chen vi over
a wide but unspecified area.
Informed sources said. however,
that casualties on both sides in the
past three weeks of fighting around
Kaifeng, Honan capital, were far
less than previously indicated.
Arms Claims Reduced.
They said government losses in
dead, wounded and captured would
not exceed $4,000. while the Com
munist losses were about 10000.
A communique from the govern
ments central headquarters at
Suchow tended to support this view.
1t said arms captured from the
Communists included 3l4 machine
guns instead of the TAT previously
claimed, and 10000 rounds of am
munition instead of the 100000, 600
reported earlier.
Fighting meanwhile increased in
Shantung and Northern Kiangsu
provinces.
Chinese Currency Says.
The official Central Daily News
said three Communist columns were
pressing their siege of TZeyang
Shantung railway town, and had

Construction work in June
reached a new peak in dollar
volume, the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics reported yesterday.
Expenditures for new conStruc-
ton totaled $l,605, 100000, an II per

dollar volume this topped any
month since monthly data became

Der, 1912. The number of workers
was 225,O00 above June, 1947, and
IS, 900 above the previous postwar
peak of last September.
Private construction accounted fol
$1.218, 900 900 of the June expendi-
lures. OF this $625 900 900, or 81 pei
cent. went into new non-farm house
building. This was an increase ol
$50 O0O0, 900 over May and 1920, 900 00(
over June of last year.
Commercial building also rost
sharply in June, jumping from $l9,'
