Antitrust Suit
Hits Ad Policy
Justice Department
Charges Restraint

NEW YORK, May IL (P.-
The Government today filed a
civil antitrust suit against six
major publishing and advertise
ing associations.
1t accused them chiefly of
conspiring to restrain national
advertisers from placing ad-
vertising copy direct with media
without employing an advertising
agency" and to fix the rate of
agency commissions.
Named as defendants were
the: American Association of Ad-
vertising Agencies, American
Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton. Publishers Association of
New York City. Associated Bush
ness Publications, Inc; Periodi-
cal Publishers Association of
America and Agricultural Pub
fishers Association.
The Government is opposed to
the practice of newspapers and
other publications of accrediting
about 900 advertising agencies.
These agencies receive a Is
per cent discount on advertising
placed in newspapers and other
media. The agency retains the
Is per cent.
No ANPA Comment
Cranston Williams, general
manager of the American News
paper Publishers Association,
said the association had not yet
received a copy of the COM
plant.
He expressed doubt the asso-
citation, composed of about 300
newspapers. would have any
statement today. He also said
the various associations named
as defendants had various stat
uses and he expected no Joint
statement representing all.
Mr.. Williams also is secretary
of the Publishers Association of
New York City.
Association Business Publica-

ment at present because It has
not been informed of particulars
in the complaint.

Premier Edgar Faure. There

No one was disposed to argue.
Within a few minutes this cheer
full message was flashing around
the world: At the end of three
gruelling sessions, the United
States and France had worked
out common policy in Indo-
China. A committee of experts
had been appointed to translate
the agreement of the foreign
ministers into a concrete plan
of action for the future.
And yet, when they buckled
to their task, the experts were
not to be envied. Reporters prob

had been said became less and
less sure of the strict accuracy
of Mr.. Faures hopeful eXclama-
ton or what in practical terms
the new-found Franco-American
agreement might mean in the
torn land half way around
the globe.
Admittedly much progress had
