WHOLESALERS, and retaiis, through

price range. And at the same
tim1 it operates Its own retail
stores. It In also selling shoes
to the independent retailer
across the street. !
While II is difficult to foresee
what ramifications a case or
this type may reach. there is a
strong element of public interest
In the case to be considered.
American craftsmanship has
over the past hundred years de-
veIoped brand names which con-
sumers have willingly paid q
substantially higher price for In
order TO insure the quality that
is found In small independent
operation. Shoes has been one or
the items I'm this category.
Yet. In the past ave years,
General Shoe, operating so
plants, has acquired some of the
most famous names in shoes that
have been respected for genera
tions as the ultimate in indepen-
dent craftsmanship.
Yet, the public Is presumably
not yet aware that shoes under
these famous brand names are
now being made by q huge firm
specializing In mass production.
y
So, in many cases, consumers
are still buying these brands,
paying a high premium price,
under the delusion they are be-
ing mace by the some Arm and
by the same methods as when
their fathers and grandfathers
bought the brand.
Thus, while legally this point
may have no bearing In an an
thrust case Of this nature, there
appear to be strong moral
grounds for injecting this issue
In the case. The consuming pub
lie should be protected from
violations of their confidence In
long established independent
| brands.

The Board of Education of the
Jefferson Local School District is
asking for sealed bids for an ad-

the educational needs of the pu-
pills.
The new addition will be two

While hundreds of thousands of
youngsters must go through

silly about in river, lake, ocean surf
or pool, less resourceful lower an
imals seem to have built-in SWIM
ming ability. Most land animals,
when the need arises, can propel
themselves in water, some with a.
gility, s1zle awkwardly.
The hare and hedgehog some
times take voluntarily to water,
says the National Geographic So

In Puerto Rico a colony of mon
keys bathes along the seashore,
and in Washington some years ago,
an escaped monkey plunged into
the Potomac River and eluded a
pursuing rowboat for more than an
hour.
Rivers present no problem for
the 15-pound Texas armadillo. The
armored beast swims wide creeks
but walks across the bottom of
narrow streams.
The star-nosed mole, with its %
fleshy tentacles, has flair for aq-

ice. A resident of Canada and the
United States, the restless mole
swims among flooded cattails and
probes the ground for worms.
The four-inch-long brown LEM

new worlds, are dogged swimmers.
Tawny, with short tails and furry
feet, the creatures sometimes as
semble in the millions to migrate.
Neither lakes nor streams stop
their march. When reaching the
sea, as in Norway, they plunge in
and, acting on some mysterious i'm
pulse, swim away to death.

BY J. A. o'LEARY

The Senate Antitrust and
Monopoly Subcommittee had be-
fore it today data from a retired
vice president of General Motors
Corp. Harold L. Hamilton. chal-
Ilenging earlier testimony that
government controls during
World War II gave General Mo-
tors its dominant position in the
sale of diesel engines to the rail-
roads.
Mr.. Hamilton told the subcom-
mittee yesterday afternoon he
also took exception to inferences
in the hearing that the volume
of traffic General Motors creates
for the railroads was another
artificial factor in its success in
selling diesel engines.
The subcommittee. headed by
Senator O'Mahoney. Democrat Of
Wyoming. is making, thorough
study of the General Motors
Corp. to determine whether it is
too big. and the inquiry into its
diesel business is only one phase
Of the study.
Mr.. Hamilton said that be-
fore this country entered World
War II. General Motors was well
advanced in t0oling UP for the
building of diesels. It had been
conducting research in that field
lsince 1880, when it acquired as
subsidiaries the Winton Engine
Co, and the Electro Motive Co.
For four hours yesterday be-
fore the subcommittee recessed
until Tuesday. Mr.. Hamilton
lunfolded the story OF his part
dating back to 1922. in efforts
ito develop, first gas-electric and
later diesel engines to replace
steam on the railroads.
Mr.. Hamilton testified that by
1887 General Motors had seven
years Of technical research and
was ready to begin producing
diesels on a large scale.
In answering the claim that
Government ALLEGATION OF ma
Iterials during World War II was
what made General Motors the
largest producer of diesels. Mr..
