Held Powerful Attack
|0n Antitrust Laws
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

A Government witness declared
yesterday that big business is max
ing q powerful drive" to wreck the
country's antitrust laws.
Walter B. Wooden, associate gen.
eral counsel for the Federal Trade
Commission, told the Senate Trade
Policies Subcommittee that was the
motive behind efforts to have Con-
gress legalize pricing systems which
would permit manufacturers to pay
part or all of the freight charges
on their products.
I'VE are seeing what we have seer
again and again" Mr.. Wooden said
That Is a powerful drive te
emasculate the Antitrust Act"
Before Mr.. Wooden testified, q
woman business executive from Den
yer, Colo, urged that Congress give
her the right to pay part of her
freight costs. This, she said. would
permit her to compete in more
distant markets and continue in
business.

Miss Ann Olson, secretary-treas-
urer of the Wire Specialties and
Manufacturing Co., said she op-
posed phantom freight" charges
that is, adding non existent hauling
charges to the price of product.

Approximately 400 farm people

during 1916. Thirty per cent of
these deaths involved motor We

driving tractor on the highway

who left home to serve in the
Armed Forces during the war
discovered that they couldn't
come back home There
wasn't a home to come to.
But whats happening 10 that
housing crisis? Is If being whip
ped. or is it growing worse?
Here's the picture -.
US. Census Bureau figures for
1910 showed that there were
1851 vacant rental units in Chi
cago waiting for families who
could increase their earnings
enough to afford TO "undouble."
In 1947, there were 1912 fami-
lies more than one) for every
dwelling unit. The vacant apart
ments had vanished.
Why did they vanish? First
of all, during the war, according
to housing experts, more sub
standard homes were torn down
in Chicago than were built.
While this was happening, Chi
cago's population was increas-
ing. Since 1910, 100000 persons
mostly war workers-came to
Chicago to work and live. At
the same time, our natural
population increase births, etc.
amounted to 10000 persons.
About 100000 of Chicago's re-
turning servicemen were looking
for home of their own, because
they married during the war, or
for other reasons.
CHICAGO great sprawling
city with % square miles of
blighted slum land at its heart,
with one out Of every five homes
listed as substandard-was hit
hard. Harder than any other
city in the nation A nation
that needs a million and a quar-
ter new homes every year for
the next ten years -.
Vets thought they had the an
swer. The CT Bill of Rights
promised them FILA loans to
purchase 1ow-price homes. But
the CT Bill isn't panning out.
Housing construction costs have
hit the roof. GI's need about

order to meet the payments on
house that would have cost
them 1000 few years ago, but
costs $12- or $4,000 today.
