Federal Reserve Plan!
Antitrust Hearings on
Transamerica Corn.
Uses 1914 Clayton Act
Powers for First Time;
Sessions to Be Public
By the Assoeioted Press

The Federal Reserve Board
announced today it will hold
public hearings here October II
on antitrust charges against the
Transamerica Corp. of San Fran
cisco, the Nations biggest bank
holding company.
The announcement - The first
official disclosure of the case by
the Reserve Board-said that
Transamerica itself had requested
that the hearings be made public
Headed by A. P. Giannini Of the
widely known California banking
family, Transamerica has an in.
terest in more than 500 banks and
industrial concerns In five Western
states.
Until Transamerica requested
public status for the case, the
Reserve Board had refused any
Official statement on the antitrust
charges, although it lied the initial
Credit Monopoly Charged.
The complaint is a civil charge
that Transamerica has built up a
credit monopoly" through placing
directors on the Boards of Banks in
the huge Bank of America chain in
California and other banks in
Oregon. WASHINGTON, Arizona and
Nevada.
1t was filed under the Clayton
Antitrust Act, which permits the
Federal Reserve Board to make the
charges and to sit as . court" to
pass on the evidence. If 1t finds
against Trans-America," the board
can order the concern to get rid Of
all its stock in banks.
Never before in its 35-year history
has the Reserve Board tried to use
It's powers under the Clayton Act,
which was passed in 1914.
Congressional hearings have re-
vealed that, as far back as 1945.
The Justice Department was
studying the possibility of antitrust
action against Trans-America under
the Sherman Act, but doubtful it
could win such case.
Not in Court Now.
In the pending proceedings, the
Reserve Board has moved without
going through the Justice Depart
ment or the courts, although it can
use the latter to enforce any order
it may issue for a company to get
rid of bank stocks.
Transamerica's Board Chairman
Giannini and Mariner S. Eccles,
whom President Truman denoted
this year from chairman to plain
member of the Reserve Board, have
long been engaged in public battle
over bill sponsored by Mr.. Eccles
to let the Reserve Board regulate
bank holding companies.
The bill has been considered IN
several sessions of Congress, but has
never been passed.

+AtomicContro|
Answer to Russian
Switch Is Demand
For Serious Work
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Oct. 4.-Warren r.
Austin of the United States chal-
lenged Russia today to say if she
is ready to agree to effective
international control of atomic
energy.
He opened, in the Political Com
mittee of the United Nations AS
sembly, the Western powers drive
to answer Russia's latest switch in
tactics in the atomic energy debate.
Mr.. Austin said he hoped the time
for throwing "old tomato cans and
dead cats" is over. He added that
he hoped the delegates could get
down to real work.
Answers Violent Attacks.
His answer to violet attacks by
Russias Andrei Vishinsky and
Dmitri z. Manuilsky of the Soviet
Ukraine was that he would try to
do nothing to make the committee S
job harder.
Mr.. Vishinsky, Russia's deputy
foreign minister, startled the COM
mittee Saturday with q resolution
calling for the U. N. Atomic Energy
Commission to continue work. He
proposed that the Assembly call for
a treaty banning atomic weapons
and a second treaty establishing
effective controls, both to take
effect at the same time. He limited
Russia might have the atomic bomb.
Mr.. Austin, the chief American
delegate, asked Russia what is
meant by effective" control in the
Soviet resolution. He said the
United States and a majority Of
the Atomic Commission want ef-
fecttve controls. He said If both
mean the same thing the task is
simple.
He said he believed, however, the
Russians did not mean to accept
the majority and were not pre-
pared to 60 ahead in the same
direction" as the rest Of the COM
mittee.
Doubts Readiness for Control.
The American said Russian re-
marks in debates indicate they ac-
tually are not ready for effective
international control. He said the
Russians still adhere to national
ism.
There is a chasm that must be
bridged in their debate and their
resolution" he said. "' - It may
be that after the delegates have
thrown all the bricks they have to
throw there may be a way to bridge
the gulf" between the Russian and
United States viewpoints.
Mr.. Austin declared the United
States will go a long way to get
unanimity. He went on that Rus
sia has indicated she will not &C
cept a Canadian resolution endors-
ing the majority report Of the U. N.
commission, or Syrian suggestion
that the commission continue work
on the basis of that report.
He called for adoption of the
Canadian resolution, as did Sweden
and New Zealand.

was called off so leading delegates
could attend the Security Council
