What Has Gone Before

Today's ad is the third in series telling
about times the antitrust lawyers made i.
serious and damaging charges against A6SP
that the courts decided were not true.
In the first ad in this series we told you about the time
the antitrust lawyers charged that A6P, and other
good American citizens, conspired to fix the price OF
bread in Washington.
These charges were false.
That was the time Federal Judge T. Alan
GoIdsborough instructed the jury to bring
In a verdict of mot guilty..
1t was the time he said to the antitrust lawyers
eff you tuere to shotO this record to any
experienced trial IatUyer in the tOorld,
he DouId tell you that there tOas not any
evidence at all.
Honestly, haze neUer in my oUer forty
years experience seen tried a case that
sDas as absolutely deUoid of evidence
as this. That is the honest truth. l haze
neOer seen one like it."
But that was not the only time the antitrust lawyers
made such serious allegations against AStP which
were false.
I'm our second ad we told you about the time
I'm Wilson, North Carolina, they charged
APPS fresh fruit and vegetable buying SUBJ
sidiary, and other good American citizens,
with conspiring to FIX and depress prices
paid farmers for potatoes in North Carolina,
Virginia and Maryland.
Here again. in the Washington bread case the charges
were false.
This was the time Federal Judge c. c.
Wyche directed the jury to bring in ver-
dict of mot guilty.
II was the time he said to the antitrust lawyers:
81 haze studied this case from, the Uery
outset. In my opinion there is no testi-
n,ony produced from Which it can reo-
sonably be inferred that the defendants
entered into a combination to depress
or IouUer the price of potatoes.
'T might say that neUer tried case II,
my life tDhere a greater effort, more
work, more Investigation had been
done, conbing almost lOith fne-footh
comb to gather evidence, as was done
in this case.
'But, as sUas said long time ago, you
can't make brick Without strnw, and
YOU can't make case Without facts"
So here were two cases in which the antitrust lawyers
made seriously damaging charges against ASP. in which
the judge decided that there facts to support
those charges.
Today, we want to tell you about the third
tirne-this time in Dallas, Texas-the court
decided against the antitrust lawyers.

The Dallas Antitrust Suit

In 1912 the antitrust lawyers went out to Dallas,
Texas, / 400 miles from the homes of most of
the defendants, and instigated criminal charges
against APP.
About this thing was sure
Their previous experience did deter the lawyers
from making nAammatory and damaging allegations
just they had done before.
They made practically the same allegations they
are making today.
Federal Judge W. H. Atwe ruled that the should not
be tried He said that the Indictment contained inAa-
matoy that he would permit be presented
to jury.
Judge Atwell said to the antitrust lawyers:
"fI thought Was presiding oUer court and
that I might haze to sentence some person
because he tUas a great big felLolU, or because
he uUas a Lilliputian, uUould feel like resign

Judge Atwell also said to the antitrust lawyers:
eff the indictment is not good then it is better
to find out before an expensive trial than it Is
after an expensive trial. do not think it
is good, and thinking that, ii is my duty to
sustain the demurrers and motion to quash."
In short, Federal Judge AtwelI threw the anti
trust lawyers and their right out of his court.
So that makes three times that the antitrust lawyers made
damaging allegations against ASP In of these
federal judges said they all wrong In the third
federal judge said that the indictment nammatory and
he would not permit the case to be tried
The antitrust lawyers satisfied with the Dallas
decision.
Neither they satisfied with the two other decisions in
which federal administered singing rebukes them
They were still determined to destroy APP.
In our next ad we will tell you how they con-
tinued their campaign in this case in the Circuit
Court of Appeals and subsequent proceedings.
We will show you how, once again, they dis
agreed with the courts.

Man With Half Heart Sets Out
On 8OO-MIe pin Small Boat

Walter Gray Williams calls
himself a man with half heart,
but there's nothing half-hearted
about the venture he undertook
today.
The 40-year-old executive of the
Stidham Tire Co. set out from
Columbia Yacht Club this morn
ing in a 16-foot open boat for his
farm in Wilmington, N. c. He
set out also to prove a few things
to himself and others like him.
self.
Mr.. Williams has a permanent
heart injury. Until his heart con-
ditioned developed - apparently
from wounds he got in the Army
as a first lieutenant with the 7th
Armored Division, he was an &C
tive man and an avid hunter.
Doctors orders since the war
turned him into an inactive man
and an unarmed armchair
hunter. With time to think, Mr..
Williams decided people with
heart trouble worry themselves to
death rather than exert them
selves to DEATH" He tested his
theory by going back to work at
the tire company even though it
was against his doctors wishes.
Now he's giving his theory the
800 water-mile test. He's going
to keep a log and maybe write a
magazine article on his venture.

He said he'll avoid excitement,
even if he catches a whale, he'll
listen to the portable radio for
weather reports and view his old

from the water. Then he'll
stretch out on his air mattress
atop two boards especially cut
to snuggle into the blue boats

Fellow employees thought Mr..
Williams was lust dreaming"
when he told them his vacation
intentions. When they found he
wasn't, they appointed 23-year-
old Jimmy Robertson, an employe,
to go along and keep Mr. Will

In eight days they plan to be

SteeIman Tackles
Rail Strike Threat

The White House today stepped
into the Nation wide railroad dis
pute in which two big unions
have threatened strike.
John R. Steelman, assistant to
President Truman, called a meet
ing this afternoon with represent
atives of the two unions. all rail-
roads. and the National Media
ton Board. A meeting this
morning reported mo progress"
The conference was arranged
because of fear that a strike
might develop which would Grip
pie the country's new war effort.
The two unions with a COM
bined membership of about 25O,-
600 are the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen and the Order OF
Railway Conductors.
The unions are demanding a
4O-hour week for railroad yard
employees at the same pay they
now receive for a 48-hour week.
They are also asking wage. con-
cessions for road service employ
es. At Government insistence
they have refrained so far from
setting a strike date.

Soaring Meat Cost
Blamed in Decrease
OF Dog Population

The high cost of living is play
ing havoc with Washington's dog
population, the Health Depart
ment disclosed today.
w. w. Burdette, who directed
the Departments recently COM
pleted anti-rabies campaign, said
only 17,711 dogs were inoculated
this year. as compared with 22,-
205 last year.
A number of persons who, in
past years, brought several dogs
to the incubation centerS ap-
peared this year with only one
pet. Mr.. Burdette said. They told
him they had gotten rid of their
other dogs because it cost too
much to feed them. he added.
Mr.. Burdette estimated it costs
about so cents a day to feed a
dog properly. A dog requires
about half an ounce of food daily
for each pound of his weight. he
explained. Soaring meat prices
are principally responsible for the
declining dog population, Mr.
Burdette said.

Senate Group
Votes 10 Move
Out Of Chamber
House Committee
Undecided; Meets
Again on Monday

A special Senate committee
agreed today to move the Senate
out of its chamber before Au-
gust IS to make way for COM
pletion of the reconstruction job
started last summer. House con-
ferees. however, failed to reach a
decision on the matter today.
Following a meeting Of the
Senate Democratic Policy Com
mittee, Chairman Chavez said he
would prepare a resolution favor
ing a move of the Senate to the
old Supreme Court chamber used
during a part of last summer. He
said he hoped I'VE won't be in
there too long" but refused to
speculate on how long the con-
struction job would take.
House Meeting Monday.
On the House side. a meeting
of Speaker Rayburn. a special
committee in charge of the House
lob. Capitol Architect David Lynn
and representatives OF the con-
tractor, failed to reach agreement
on a similar move by the House.
Representative Trimble, Demo-
crat. of Arkansas, who heads the
committee, said the group plans
to meet again Monday to consider
the question further.
He indicated that there is
strong opposition to the sugges-
ton that the House take up tenn
porary quarters again in the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee room. as they did last
summer. He pointed out that
the quarters are too cramped to
be satisfactory and inconvenlent
because they are across the
street from the Capitol in the
House Office Building.
A special committee yesterday
presented to the Senate a resolu-
ton backed unanimously by its
Democratic and Republican mem
bers strongly urging the shift. If
the job were delayed one year,
1t probably would cost at least
$15O,000, in claims, storage dam
age to stored materials and other
things, the Senate was told.
Sentiment Changes.
Although it had been indicated
during Senate floor debate re-
Gently that the body would not
vacate its place this summer be-
cause of the international crisis
there were increasing signs today
that the Senate may decide tc
move after all.
Under present contracts the
work should have begun on July l
with completion scheduled in time
for the opening the 82nd Congress
in January. The contractor and
Mr. Lynn have virtually placed a
deadline now of next Tuesday for
the work to start, if it is to be
finished in time.
