Arizona State Fair Adopts
Cactus CowmanA As Theme


The theme for the 1858 Arizona
State Fair, November 6-15, will be
a genial gentleman from the
range: THE Cactus Cowman."
He's fashioned after the State
, Flower, the Saguaro Cactus. His
legs are little bowed, on account
he spends so much time in the
saddle, but he's a fine figure of a
cactus.
Naturally, he wears boots -
green ones and he's got spurs
that jingle-jangle. But in a dry
sort of way. The rowels are cactus
needles.
And when he talks, what he has
to say is right to the point. That's
how it is with a cactus.
For instance, today when the
State Fair Commission an
? nOunced his appointment as
theme, the Cactus COwman had
this to say:
I'm mighty proud to hear it,
And Pll see you at the Fair;
just be sure that you don't miss
it
Cause your friends will all
be there"
The Cactus Cowman was i'm
spired by the cover design on a

Court Rules du Pont
CeIIophane Industry
Is Not Monopoly
Federal Antitrust
Complaint, Filed
In 1o47, Dismissed
BY the Associated Press

WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. IA.
United States District Court
Judge Paul Leahy ruled today
that the cellophane operations of
the du Pont company were not a
monopoly or conspiracy in re-
straint of trade as charged by
the Government.
Judge Leahy dismissed the
complaint, filed six years ago
under the antitrust laws by the
Justice Department. He said
that the E. 1. du Pont de Ne
mours & Co., Inc.-America's S
largest >chemical-making firm
should not "be punished for it's
success"
Specifically the Government
accused du Pont of:
Controlling manufacture and

IlOlu OH pdteIlIS.
Competitive Set-Up Asked.
The government asked that
du Pont be required to divest
itself of some plants and fac
tories and establish a competi-
tive cellophane set-up.
Judge Leahy said "the facts
destroy the charges"
Du Pont denied the charges.
In his opinion Judge Leahy
wrote:
There has been no monopoli-
zation or conspiracy or combina-
ton or attempt to monopolize
shown. The record reflects not
the dead hand of monopoly but
rapidly declining prices, expand
ing production, intense compe-
tition stimulated by creative re-
search. the development of new
products and uses and other
benefits of a free economy.
"Du Pont, nor any other
American company similarly
situated, should be punished fol
it's success. Nothing warrants
intervention of this court OF
equity. The complaint should be
dismissed"
Pleased With Decision.
Crawford H. Greenwalt. du
Pont president, said "the courts
decision is deeply gratifying
adding:
THE government charged that
the du Pont company monopo-
lized and combined and con-
spired to monopoliZe the sale Of
