This day brings back memory
OF dear one laid to rest,
And those who think of her today
Are those who loved her best.
We watched her suffer day by day

To see her slowly pine away
And could not give relief.
Her lonely hours and DAYS of main
Her troubled nights are passed
And in our aching hearts we know
She has found sweet rest at last.

u; 5. Experts 10 Study
Basing Point System;
.Capehart Hits Patman
BY the Associated Press

A Senate committee agreed to
leave industry's pricing problems up
to a pair of experts today, as
Chairman Capehart charged an at
tack against his group was "un-
truthful and unfair"
Before deciding, with the Federal
Trade Commission, to name a team
of specialists to consider the basing
point pricing controversy, Senator
Capehart, Indiana Republican, is
sued a cracking retort to criticism
of his committee by Representative
Patman, Democrat, of Texas.
The Senators have been studying
the effect of a Supreme Court de-
cision barring the cement indus
try's use OF that pricing method, and
Mr.. Patman two weeks ago called
the investigation "a propaganda
drive against the antitrust laws"
Capehart Assails Patman.
After reading the entire Patman
statement into the record, Senator
Capehart followed with one of his
own, terming Mr.. Patman almost a
perfect demagogue," and the House
members charges "a vile docu-
ment."
The decision reached later by the
Senators and Chairman Robert E
Freer and Member Ewin L. Davis
Of the FTC was announced in q
statement which said both groups
saw In their joint action "a reason
able possibility that =" fears OF
business and the prevailing confu-
sion may be satisfactorily elm
mated"
The committee named its general
counsel, William Simon, as its ex-
pert. The commission expert was
to be named later.
Final Solution Unknown.
The Supreme Court decision up
held an FTC ruling that it was L.
legal for the cement industry to
agree to set identical prices for its
product all over the country, re-
gardless of freight costs.
Representatives Of q number OF
industries told the Senators the
ruling cast doubt on the legality of
their pricing systems. Senator
Capehart told reporters the experts
will try to straighten out the matter
by weighing the testimony the COM
mitee has heard and by making
recommendations.
Whether the solution would be
amending laws, repeating laws or
making new laws" the Senator said,
IT don't know"
Meanwhile, Mr.. Freer said in .
speech today that the "nub of this
controversy" appears to be an effort
to amend the law so that "the mere
fact that every one in an industry
Is employing basing point or other
organized system of selling at iden-
tical prices shall not be considered
as evidence of an agreement in an
an antitrust proceeding"
In q talk prepared for delivery
before the Sales Executives Club Of
New York, he said success Of this
effort would set the antitrust laws
back more than so years. 1t would
also speed up a trend toward Gov
ernment regulation, he said.
