The Globemaster can carry a load

Chinese Ghost Relief Day
To Bring Scanfy Handouts
BY the Associated Press

SHANGHAI, Aug. l7.-Millions Of
Chinese will observe centuries-old
Ghost Relief Day." August "a but
the handouts for the poor ghosts
will be scanty. Few of the living
have much to offer the shades Of
their ancestors nowadays.
Education, as we'll as the high cost
of living. also will have its effect.
Each year fewer and fewer people
cling to the belief that doors of the
10 dungeons" will open the night of
August 10 (the 14th day of the 7th
month in China's lunar calendar.
Even so, Shanghaf's joss shops
are crowded with shoppers buying
JOSS paper, money and clothing. Joss
paper is gold or silver paper gen.
orally burned by the Chinese at flu.
nerals. These, along with food, are
offered freely to the ghosts, amid
the burning Of incense and candles.

|FTC Bans Price Fixing
by Z Bottle Cap Firms

Twelve bottle cap manufacturers
and their association, the Crown
Manufacturers Association, with
headquarters in Washington, were
ordered by the Federal Trade Com
mission today to discontinue a prac-
tice Of fixing prices and suppressing
competition.
Rejecting a trial examiners rec
ommendation that the complaint be
dismissed, the commission held that
the companies have used their trade
association and other means ito
bring about uniformity as to design,
appearance, prices and terms Of
sale"
The companies involved manufac-
ture about IS per cent. of the crown
bottle caps sold. The commission
said it was OF the opinion the manu-
facturers had agreed to standardize
products SO prospective purchasers
would have no choice in design,
coloring or lettering.
The commission also found the
companies operated under a freight
equalization plan, serving to main
tain identical delivery prices for all
purchasers at any given destina-
ton" Thus a purchaser would pay
the freight rate of the manufacturer
nearest him, even though he pur-
chased from a more distant point,
it was said.
at is undisputed that, since 1898
at least. it has been impossible for
any purchaser at any location to
obtain crowns from any respondent
manufacturer for a less price or on
better terms than the prices charged
or the terms imposed by any other
respondent manufacturer" the COM
mission said
