Monopolies

In a letter to The Star Of
November IA, George Burger
decries lack Of enforcement Of
antitrust laws. Occasionally
some Of our politicians in Con-
gress also make a loud noise
about this neglect.
AS a layman. and one who
is not a lawyer, ! wish to make
a few observations. First of all,
/ have a few years on my
head and can remember some
things. So let us reflect on the
past. Many years ago Stand
ard Oil Co. was indicted for
violating the antitrust laws.
What happened? They paid a
fine, of course. as directed by
the court. They split up into
small companies in accordance
with the court order and still
do business in a more or
less cooperative fashion. The
same is true Of other big cor
porations.
What m a kes companies
unite? Mostly to produce more
economically to meet competi-
ton. High costs Of production,
which is ever on the increase.
accelerate this action.
Then we have q notable
number of exceptions which
the courts have made which,
to a lot of people. have about
nullified the antitrust laws.
These are: First, co-opera-
tiyes, such as the milk COM
missions, to Arbitrarily hold up
prices to consumers: second,
labor unions, some Of which at
times have clearly violated the
law, but for political reasons
have gone unpunished. Recall,
If you will. the case Of a man
who drove his own truck with
products into New York dur
ing the Roosevelt administra-
ton, but was not permitted to
do so by the Teamsters Union
unless he paid a stipulated
sum to the union. Then you
have the Government In the
monopoly class. too. And we
have to pay taxes to the Gov
ernment to make up losses.
such as shown by the Post Of
fee.
Carrying the idea a little
farther we might say electri-
clans and plumbers have q
monopoly on their business.
When ] was a young man,
there was a little grocery store
on almost every corner OF the
town I lived in. The big stores
forced them out of business
by selling cheaper. The same
Is true Of automobiles and
other commodities. We were
told that when the little fell
lows were forced out, prices
would go higher. But that
never happened.
The antitrust laws were
written back In the days Of
little business. The courts
have rendered so many excep-
tions to their enforcement that
there is little left to enforce.

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Democrats Now LOOKING for No. z Man
BY GOULD LII

Gov. Leader Of Pennsylvania
seem to have the most to offer,
politically. as vice presidential
candidates-and Meyner more
than Leader. They are new
faces in the national political
picture. They represent impor-
tant States in any election.
Meyner, who has been In the
Governors chair a year longer
than Leader. is reported to be
making a good record. He is
an attractive figure.
Another eastern possibility
for the vice presidential nomi-
nation is Mayor Bob Wagner
OF New York City. Wagner is
one Of those New York Demo-
cratic leaders reported to be
leaning strongly to Mr.. Ste
venson in the race for the
presidential nomination. Sen
ator Lehman took the lead in
breaking directly with Gov.
Hartman, saying fatty he
would support Stevenson for
the presidential nomination,
and Wagner is watching the
situation carefully. 1t has been
expected he would try for the
Senate-his father was Sena-
tor for years-if Mr.. Lehman
decided not to seek another six
year term. Wagner is popular
in New York, and his nomina-
ton for Vice President might
help the national ticket there.
Appraising Kefauver
Plenty Of other Democratic
leaders are available" If the
party goes shopping for a vice
presidential candidate. Some
of Senator Kefauver's friends
are suggesting that the Ten
nesSean. runnerup to Steven
son in the 1852 national con-
yention, would make a good
teammate. Indeed, the Ste
venson-Kefauver combination
was in the talk during the
Democratic gatherings in Chi
cago last week, more than any
other. Kefauver has insisted
he is a candidate for only one
off1ce-President. But then,
few men ever openly run for
a vice presidential nomination.
Should the Democrats turn to
the Midwest. Senator Hum
phrey Of Minnesota stands out
as a strong possibility-a great
campaigner-and so does Gov.
@. Mennen Williams of Michi-
gan.
nview Of the recent demand
that the parties pick their best
men for second place on their
tickets-it might be well to
name the men who run second
for President.

find 1t hard to believe they
were awake, for they must
have read our Colonial history
which furnishes the back
ground for much of our Con-
stitution. I'm aware that at the
moment they were still under
the influence Of the hysteria
Of war. but I flnd 1t difficult to
believe that even In such a
moment Congress could forget
our history so completely.
But what is to be said Of
the judges who also nodded?
They have no such justiflca-
ton as war hysteria as do the
legislators. Theirs is an en-
tirely different world, far from
the maddening crowd. And
yet some of them nodded.
In the meantime let US all
thank God for the Supreme

So far out In front In the
race for the Democratic pres
idential nomination is Adlai
Stevenson, In the opinion of
his supporters, that the con-
versation has turned to the
selection Of his running mate.
This. 1t should be well under
stood, is not Mr.. Stevenson's
idea. He has one thing In
mind at this point, flrst place
on the 1866 national ticket.
Making No Deals
He is making. he says, no
deals with any potential can
didate. And as long as he
stays well out In front In his
own race. there is no need for
him or his supporters to enter
into any deal. When the time
comes, however, for the Demo-
cratic National Convention to
name his running mate, Mr..
Stevenson will have plenty to
say. Three years ago he took
what was handed him. Sena-
tor Sparkman Of Alabama, re-
garded as a progressive Demo-
crat-for the South. The pur-
pose was to soften up the
Southern voters.
It didn't work. The South
erners, like the people In other
parts Of the country. vote for
President, not for Vice Presi-
dent. when they go to the polls
once every four years. Four
States Of the solid South, COM
pletely ignoring the Sparkman
bait, plunked for Eisenhower
Florida, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia.
There seems no percentage,
therefore, in going South in
1856 for a vice presidential
candidate-or so some of the
Stevenson people feel. Steven
son himself--a former Cover
nor Of Illinois--is q Midwest
erner. From a geographical
point Of view, it is urged he
should go East for his running
mate. There is a crop of new
Democratic Governors in that
section. including the Cover
nors Of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
Maine.
Hartman. the New Yorker,
is running as hard as he can
though not openly-for the
presidential nomination. He
probably would rather remain
as Governor Of the Empire
State than take the vice presi-
Dental office, even If he could
have it. OF the others, Gov.

Are we aiming for a second
class educational system?
Or, should we even mention
the tendency Of school princi-
pals to hold on to inferior
tand sometimes neurotic)
teachers because there are no
requirements or the where
withal to attract qualified re-
placements. The wonder Is,
that in spite of all the news we
do have some good and quail
11ed teachers.
Now. either you are satisfied
with the way things are. or you
are not. Certain interests in
this city have repeatedly taken
the position that either things
aren't so bad or that taxes
have reached the saturatSon
point. Inherently, they are
selfishly playing 1t safe to
avoid the bite" The gambit
is clear. the results unmistak-
able and effective. Our city is
divided and ununited in its
dealings with Congress.
Space does not permit de-
velopment Of the theme: Re-
tarded Social Progress and It's
Eject on Business. But the
business interests in this city
would do well to look into it.
Perhaps then they might lend
a bit Of vision to a progressive
Washington, the Nations
Capital. Perhaps then they
might walk shoulder to shoul-
der with their friends, neigh
bors. clients or customers and
speak to Congress, as free men
with q common purpose, in a
vibrant chorus that will be
heard. Milton A. MandeI.

Getting Down to Earth

With time for action running short,
the new District Auditorium Commission
has adopted sensible plan for expedit-
ing basic studies and proposals for
national civic and cultural center here.
The commission, composed of q OUT
standing citizens, must present It's recon-
mendations to Congress by February
next. To do so win require technical
advice, research In the broad field Of
public auditorium design and great deal
Of related data. Until such information
Is at hand, the commission cannot make
intelligent decisions as to functional,
architectural, financial or other aspects
Of the rather vague project which Con-
gress outlined in creating the commission.
Congress gave the group no star or funds.
Against this background, the proposal for
enliSting the voluntary services Of some
Of the Nations leading architectural, en-
cheering and planning experts is quite
attractive.
The commission has only a general
idea Of what Congress had in mind when
1t directed the group to study and report
on the design, location, financing and
construction Of 'civic center" of ma
tional scope in Washington. Congress
itself was not clear on the matter and
wanted advice from commission to guide
1t in enacting legislation. All that the
commission knows is that Congress wished
TO have the center include an auditorium,
an inaugural hall and q cultural center
for music, flne arts and "communica-
tions"
Barney Balaban, chairman of the
commissions Committee on Site and
Planning, stressed the size Of the COM
missions task In these words: take the
auditorium, for example. How big should
It be? The answer to this question Is
directly related to the needs OF the Dis
txict, anticipated national requirements,
hotel facilities, site. trafflc conditions and
many other considerations. Before we
can talk about the size of the auditorium
we must consider economics, local geog-
raphy, the experiences Of similar UNDER
takings In other cities and host OF other
factors. The same applies to the music,
art and communications center. We
have only the most superficial UNDER
standing Of what we mean by a music,
art and communications center. We do
not know the answer to hundred and
one other questions that we need to know
before we can bring our planning down
from midair to the solid ground Of
reality"
II the commission, therefore, can
succeed in enlisting volunteer consult
ants from among the country's leading
technical experts, 1t win have made q
good start toward getting its feet on
solid ground" And the consultants win
have had the satisfaction Of contributing
toward the realization Of the long
nourished dream Of a great national con-
vention, concert and inaugural han and
related facilities in the Nations Capital.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES {. TRACEWELL
Well. fall is here

Well, fall is here.
It is not the date, nor the
winds, nor the cold, nor the
falling leaves.
1t is not because school has
begun, or the sunshine has
lost its tanning pep.
No, fall is here for just one
reason. and we are quite sure
of it.
1t is autumn because Tenn
pleton Jones Is wearing a hat
againl
Last March, early. Jones
took on his felt. and hadn't
worn it since.
All during the bus strike,
Jones walked to and fro, per-
fectly hatless, his long locks
waving in the wind, or at least
in such wind as there was.
The trouble with Washing
ton weather is, according to
our old friends, that the wind
Is never just right.
When 1t is hot, there is no
wind.
When it is cold, there is
plenty of wind.
Some weather controller,
some day, he says, is going to
order the winds to blow Just
a little In summer, so that hot
days will be a little more
bearable.
He viii tell the winds to
pipe down, when autumn
comes, so that the lessened
heat Of the sun will have a
better chance to do its work.
All that, Of course, is in the
future, after mankind has done
with blowing itself up.
Rlgnt now, Templeton Jones
has gone back to wearing a
hat, much to the delight of the
hat manufacturers.
Poor hat makers!
In recent years, they have
taken a terrific beating.
Even the ladies are going
hatless now. Less strain on
the hair-do, or something.
Count the hatleSs ladies in
any bus. and you will find at
least so per cent; count the
men, and you will find at least
70 per cent hatless.
And all this, winter as well
as summer.
1t is not fair to list the rags
tied around the girls heads
as hats.
These rags are there to con-
ceal the pin curls, or some
thing. Jones says If he were
boss, he would order home all
girls who appeared in curriers'.
