The Reply

Just to get things straight
I am not advocating that
anybody who at the present
moment has five, ten or any
other number of children be
punished in any way. l only
say that all persons who have
a fifth or sixth or later child
in the future should be deal
with very severely.
BY having a large quantity
of children they are being
unfair to the world, and tq
the very children themselves
The first thing that should be
done is to make all children
after the third non-tax det
ductible, and all after ing
fourth taxable. Why shoulq
the Government pay peoplf
to have children?

MARY
AS soon as l read your
letter in Teen my blood be-
gan to boil. How can anyone
be so idiotic and so stupid to
say that anyone having over
four children should be shot?
You may not like children
yourself, Dave Nolan, but
that is certainly no reason
to condemn anyone who does.
If a couple wants more than
four children they will do so
and there is no one to stop
them.
Dope peddlers also should
be shot. you say. Why?
Many of them are mentally
or emotionally sick, and need
medical help rather than a
prison sentence.
Who. besides you. says that
people with los under 80
should not be allowed to

really that low. and some
people of that 10 have as
much or more common horse

What makes you think q
dictatorship would be the

Are you planning to become

We talked to Gene Ingalls, this

know him to have been a news
paperman in the tradition of the
boomers of the twenties and early
thirties Boomers were reporters,
editors, shopmen, advertising and
copy men = all newspapermen,
moving from place TO place, rarely
staying in one job longer than it
took to make a reputation and
enough money to take them on to
the next job, another town, another
paper.
There are wonderful legends
about those days and those people.
Though the public had fairly
universal notion that reporters and
editors did most of their work with
one foot on brass bar rail and
permanent bend in either elbow
This was not entirely true. If he
had a name for knocking around,
all the better, and a certain emin-
ence was attached to this, but he
got the news, or the advertising,
and in the depressed dark days of
the thirties, he had to hustle.
Gene ingalls, said, For all the
glamour attached to reporters
then they were not as good writer's
as they are today. The newspaper
business has Stabilized itself. 1t

business, but an interesting buns

Grond Jury to Receive
New Price Fixing Data
By ROBERT E. CLARK
Star stan Writer

Another major price fixing
case similar to that successfully
concluded last week against

ing laid before a grand jury by

Ondcial sources would not
identity the industry whose
pricing practices are under in
vestigation, but Indicated that
rigging Of government con-
tracts-Federal, State or city
may be involved.
The Government is expected
10 bring heavy damage suits
against manufacturers who
pleaded guilty in Philadelphia
Thursday to criminal antitrust
charges of price fixing and bid
rigging on sales Of heavy elec-
trical equipment.
Cases Called Serious
The charges against 90 man.
ufacturers in this case had been
called by Attorney General
Rogers las serious instances
Of bid rigging and price fixing
as have been charged in the
more than half century Of the
Sherman Act"
Whether the disclosures Of
illegal price fixing in the elec-
trical industry are representa-
tive of a pattern that extends
broadly through other major
industries is a question that
the antitrust division of the
Justice Department is not yet
prepared to answer. It is pre-
pared, however, to follow up
any leads produced by this case
and turn evidence of pricing
violations over to grand juries
wherever warranted.
The case that Is currently
being placed before a grand
jury Is in addition to a grand
jury probe already underway
In Illinois into price fixing on
Q national scale in the rock
salt industry. The Justice De-
partment has gathered evil
dence from more than 400
cities in this case.
