 This case has been brought in connection with the program of the antitrust division to prosecute illegal conspiracies which affect the cost of living"
 Herbert A. Bergson, assistant attorney general in charge of the antitrust division, commented: '1t is our purpose to protect the interest of the public in prevent ing arbitrarily high prices on pro- ducts which are essential to con- SumerS and to keep the market free of attempts to restrain trade.
 Tn addition to protecting the interest of the constlmer, it is our purpose to keep the market free for those competitors desiring to develop and maintain their busi- nesseS without interference from those who would restrain trade at the expense of both their compet- itors and the general public"
 Attorney General Tom C. Clark that a federal grand jury in Cleveland, Ohio, returned an indictment today against 8 leading manufacturers of photo of their officers, a pho- tomount association and its secre- .ary.
 The indictment charges the de- fendants with having stabilized and controlled prices and SUD- competition in the manu- facture of photomounts used to display photographs.
