The first step is to determine

Medina Implies Trial
May Be Too Complex
BY The Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Judge
Harold r. Medina suggested yes
terday that the trial before him
of II investment bankers on
charges of anti trust violation pre-
sented issues too complex for one
Judge to hear. ~
This is a terrific problem" he
observed, land I don't know
whether I have undertaken more
than I will be able to carry
through here. Perhaps we should
have had a three judge court in
this case"
Assistant Attorney General
Holmes Baldridge said that with
the intelligent cooperation of the
Government and the defense pos
sibly we can cut down the trial
time by simplifying the issues"
Mr.. Baldridge charged that al
though the Government presented
a very summary opening ad-
dress, the defendants have taken
two months to outline their case
and indicated several additional
months may be required.
The Government alone has au-
thenticated 10000 documents for
the trial and presently intends to
introduce 1000 of them. In ad-
dition, it is understood, Judge
Medina must read numerous rul-
ings by the Supreme Court, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission, the Federal Trade Com
mission and briefs by the Govern
ment and 13 defense lawyers.

tent by such realized gains as
these: Domestic cotton. $22,050,-

products. $3.152,025; prunes, $55,-

Department officials emphasize
that the loss column in the re-
ports is still likely to be revised
somewhat for the better because
of many factors and possible de-
velopments that did not enter into
the picture during the reporting
periods.
They also explain that many
conditions have to be taken into
consideration before passing final
judgment on the size of overall
payments in the support program
under the parity program.
Price Support Payments.
Total payments, in round num-
bers, for price support on some
of the principal commodities dur
ing the last fiscal year were:
Wheat, $763 million: corn, $500
million; cotton, $458 million; grain
sorghum, $108 million: peanuts
Sill million; potatoes, $88 mil
lion: butter, $40 million; dried
eggs, $88 million; dry beans, $6a
million; tobacco, $62 million; wool
$50 million; f1axseed, $45 million;
dry milk, $50 million; cottonseed
$38 Million. barley, $50 million
rice, $35 million; soybeans, $35
million; oats. $28 million; naval
stores, $14 million, and cheese, So
million.
These totals of payments. profits
and losses, of course, do not cover
other Government agricultural
price-support activities. such as
participation in the international
wheat agreement, the school lunch
program, sugar program and a
marketing agreement and order
program.
Under the parity price system,
support is mandatory for basic
commodities named in the law
These are corn, cotton, wheat, to-
bacco, rice and peanuts. Desig-
mated "non-basic commodities
include butter, cheese. dried milk,
Irish potatoes, tung Oil and wool.
The rest of the long list, which
has changed many times during
the last Is years, takes in other
non-basic commodities for which
the Secretary of Agriculture has
discretionary authority to estab-
lish parity prices.
System of Parity Percentages.
Price supports vary according
to system of parity percentages.
Price supports in excess of 80 per
cent of parity on any commodity
is allowed by law only "if the
Secretary of Agriculture deter
mines, after public hearing, that
increased support is necessary to
prevent or ease a shortage of a
commodity essential to national
welfare, or to increase or main
tain production of a commodity
in the interest Of national Sc
curity."

culture Economics arrive each
month at parity prices? officials

in estate and gift taxes. and "the
undue preferential treatment
granted capital gains in compari-
son with ordinary income.
The President also promised
that enforcement efforts will be
improved Ito make sure that the
taxes which are due under present
laws are actually paid"
Mr.. Truman said that personal
income taxes must be "the major
source" of the additional revenue
needed.
Even before Mr.. Truman's mes
sage went to the Capitol move
ment was under way to trim his

i Parity "a device that caused
Government payments of almost
$2.7 billion during the last fiscal
year-has become an even more
complicated theory of relativity in
the price freeze problem.
Since the 1930s, it has played
a key role in farm price-support
programs, ordered by Congress
and operated through the Agri-
culture Department. It aims es-
sentially at protecting" the Level
of prices received by farmers fo1
many commodities they produce.
| Parity is a sort of yardstick
subject to frequent changes, to
assure a farmer that prices he
gets for what he sells will give
him fair return with which to
buy things he needs.
An established parity price for
a farm commodity such as corn
tobacco. butter or potatoes is de-
signed to guarantee the farmer a
purchasing power relative to what
the sale price of that commodity
enabled a farmer to buy during
a base period in past years.
Intricate and Varied.
That policy, however hard tt
define, is simplicity itself com
pared with the intricate and va
ried ways that flexible parity
prices are determined by the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics
currently on some 158 separate
commodities.
Equally involved are the meth
ods by which the Government
through the Commodity Credit
Corp. and the Production anG
Marketing Administration in the
Agriculture Department, sup
ports" the parity prices and ac-
counts for the Governments s
financial losses or gains. Govern
ment supports comes mainly
through loans, purchases of COM
modities or a system of purchase
agreements.
| Latest available official infor-
nation shows that. during the fis-
cal year ended last June 80, the
Government paid out $2,683, ,000,-
900 in the farm price support pro-
gram. Nevertheless, it recovered
some of that total through repay
ment of loans, sales and value of
commodities held in storage. Fig
ures on the next expenditure are
not yet obtainable.
The Production and Marketing
Administration, however, has a
detailed report of gains and losses
in support payments on the in
dividual items. During the first
half Of the fiscal year which be-
! gan last July /, the net losses
totaled $100,280, ,904. During the
fiscal year that closed last June,
the Governments losses were
$249 ,229,839 From October, 1898
through last November, losses
were $736. .321, ,305.

Auto Industry Faces
|Layoff Of. 100000,
Worst in Months
BY the Associoied Press

DETROIT, Feb. 2.-The auto
mobile industry struggled today
with vast layoff problem bearing
on more than 100000 workers.
Figuring in a mixture of causes
was the railroad strike. but its
exact effect was nowhere near
being clear.
Strikes in the auto industry it
self and parts shortages, some
due probably to defense work de-
mands. also were responsible.
In any event, the situation was
the worst in the auto industry
in months. Other cities besides
Detroit. a major producing area
were affected.
$4,000 More to Be Laid OFF.
More than 10000 workers were
idle in half a dozen Detroit plants
and approximately $4,000 were
scheduled for layoffs here and
elsewhere.
Chrysler laid off 24,600 men
yesterday, blaming parts short
ages. This was due in part to a
strike Of 5000 men at Budd Co.,
which makes car stampings for
Chrysler
A job transfer of three men was
reported the cause of a. CIO
United Auto Workers strike at
Budd.
5000 Idle at Kaiser-Frazer.
A continuing strike at Kaiser
Frazer over what the union called
accumulated grievances" kept
5000 men idle. A parts shortage
made $4,000 Hudson workers idle
yesterday but they were expected
to be called back today.
General Motors laid off $4,000
men yesterday and planned a
layoff of another $4,000 today.
Auto manufacturers said that
through yesterday the rails strike
had had no particularly severe
effects. Shipping bottlenecks as
