Du Pont
Continued From First Page.)

Antitrust Act on December 13,
1947. The case came to trial
on January II, 1851, and Judge
Leahy heard it without a jury.
It was marked by frequent in
terruptions and finally ended
last January 8 after 81 days Of
court trial.
Volumes of Testimony.
A total of 1882 pages of testi-
mony was compiled. The Gov
eminent introduced 1,542 ex-
hibits and placed three witnesses
on the stand.
Du Pont, in it's defense. filed
1882 exhibits and statements
from SO witnesses.
Du Pont based its defense fun
damentally on the argument that
the company did not possess
monopoly powers. that it had no
power to control prices or ex-
clude competitors.
It argued also that cellophane
is not the only kind of packaging
material and that the product
faces competition from waxed
paper, glassine, foil and other
papers and film.
In 1949, before the trial act
ually began, du Pont licensed Olin
Industries, Inc.-and other firms
since then-to manufacture eel
lophane.
Under terms of the agreement
.du Pont made available to Olin.
ALI it's patents, furnished full
technical information and know
how, and aided in construction
of a plant that is handling about
35 million pounds of cellophane
annually.
Du Pont said at that time
that it would have built addi-
tional cellophane plants itself,
but because of the antitrust
suit did not feel warranted in
spending the stockholders
money in expansion in this
field"
Cites Object of Congress.
In his ruling on the complex
case, Judge Leahy declared that
the object of Congress in pass
ing the Sherman Act were:
/. ITO preserve our system of
free trade and competitive econ
omy in order to protect the pub
lie from the evils thought to
flow from undue restraints and
monopolies."
2. ITO secure competition and
preclude combinations which
tends to defeat it."
Then Judge Leahy declared the
Government had failed to prove
du Pont guilty of monopoly and,
in fact, said "the history of du
Points cellophane busines is a
record of competitive achieve
ment."
Judge Leahy stated that the
Government. in support of it's
charge of unfair restraint of
trade, failed to point to a Single
transaction" where other firms
or other products were injured
illegally by du Pont cellophane
production and sales.
Judge Leahy said:
1T is impossible to believe
over period of 80 years every
act of those engaged in the de-
velopment of du Pont' cello
phane business is tainted by il
legal motive, undertaken with
knowledge of illegal purpose, and
an urge to achieve monopoly
by predatory practice. This was
not the dominant motif of du
Points entire conduct.
Du Pont now maintains seven
cellophane plants-two at Old
Hickory. Tenn; two at Rich
mond, Va; two at Clinton, Iowa,
and one at Buffalo, N. Y. An
other plant at Buffalo was con-
verted to rayon production for
tire cord during World War II.
In 1945 du Pont sold 108 va
rieties of cellophane. It's produc-
ton in recent years has exceeded
200 million pounds annually
and sales have approximated
S10O million.

tracts involving the Federal

ment.

ment agreed there was such a
law, Mr.. Ernest said, Mr..

Of the contract.

get back his $740." the lawyer
said.

Educator Urges
Early Study Of
Alien Language
Study Should Begin
In Elementary Grades,
Conference Told

Americas school children
should begin studying foreign
languages in elementary school,
the Conference of Educators was
told here today.
Earl j. McGrath, United
States Commissioner of Educa-
tion, said Americans must learn
foreign languages in order to
carry out the Nations role of
world leadership. They can
learn them best by beginning
early, he said. Mr.. McGrath
blamed dull and outdated teach
ing for what he called a serious
falling off in foreign language
study. Twenty years ago, he
said, q per cent of the country's
high school students studied
foreign languages. Only IA per
cent do now, he said.
Most children must wait until
they are IA or Is to take up
languages, the Commissioner
said. Most European children.
on the other hand, begin at least
one foreign language at an early
age Mr.. McGrath said there
was no evidence that American
children couldn't learn an extra
language at an early age, too.
Mechanical" Methods Hit.
But, he emphasized, teachers
must abandon mechanical"
methods such as memorization
of vocabulary. Such methods in
grade schools would kill the
enterprise at the outset" he said.
He urged the use of television
and other modern aids. as well
as working out programs to re-
late language instructions with
other school activities.
Miss Emile Margaret White.
director of foreign language in
struction in Washington's white
schools, outlined a grade school
language program already in
operation here.

systems and colleges are par

DC. Cadets 10 March
But Lack Of Uniforms
Will Limit Numbers
By James G. Deane

The Districts High School
Cadet Corps will march in the
inaugural parade, but a uniform
problem is complicating things.
Col. William E. Barkman, pro-
fessor Of military science and
tactics in the white schools. dis
closed today that a lack of ira
ditional blue uniforms will limit
most white schools to token rep
resentation.
Most white units now wear
cheaper khaki, but marchers are
being required to wear blues. A
few cadets still having blue uni
forms will represent the khaki
wearing units, Col. Barkman
said.
Anacostia High School, which
still wears blues, will have the
biggest contingent. Eastern prob
ably will have the smallest
only half a dozen marchers.
Proud Western, winner of
many drill competitions, expects
to send a somewhat better num-
ber-perhaps so. But Bell and
Chamberlain Vocational Schools
may not march at all.
Colored schools, which still
wear blues. will have about
equally divided representation
among them.
About a fourth of the 3,200-
man corps is scheduled to march.
The marchers will be formed
into four composite battalions,
two from the white schools and
two from the colored.
The 71-year-old corps has
taken part in almost every in
auguration since it's founding in
1882. The first was that of
President Grover Cleveland in
1885. The entire corps often
marched in earlier years.
There will be an innovation
this year, also along the uniform
line. White cadets are sched-
uled to wear Marine overcoats-
the first time overcoats ever have
been used by parading cadets.
The coats. Government surplus.
were bought by the schools for 81
apiece last year and are being
loaned or rented to cadets this
winter.
Colored cadets plan to march
without coats, however, accord
ing to Maj. Benjamin Hunton.
their instructor.
Col. Barkman marched in
Woodrow Wilson's inaugural
parade in 1918. when he was a
cadet at Eastern High School.
He expects to march with his
battalions Tuesday.
There's one possible hitch.
The corps won't march if the
weather is very bad, Col. Bark
man said. He and Maj. Hunton
will make the last-minute deci-
sion Tuesday morning.
The boys won't carry rifles.
Transporting the weapons to and
from school armories is too
complicated, Col. Barkman
explained.
