SUPERIOR COURT
BEGINS MONDAY
IN DARE COUNTY

Fall term Superior Court for
Dare County will get underway in
Manteo Monday with Judge Chester
Morris of Currituck presiding.
Charges growing from the fire
which burned part of the properties
formerly known as the Patterson
Hotel at Mays Head will be aired,
and this case is expected to at
tract great interest. Edwin G.
Moore of Washington, D. c., pre-
sent owner of the property, is
charged in four separate warrants
with unlawful burning or attempt
unlawful burning. On September 26,
Moore was in Dare Recorders
court when probable cause was
found, and the cases sent on to
Superior Court. Bond was set at
$5, 900.
The hotel was damaged and GER
tain surrounding cottages were de-
stroyed by fine during April. Pre-
vious testimony by fire department
officials and others concerned in
the case illustrated the manner in
which candles were found burning
throughout the property and blan-
kets draped over the windows.
The docket also shows numerous
drunken cases scheduled, as well as
a variety of other charges involving
violations on the highway, assault
etc.

sets Of conspirators in Atlantic
City hotels within two days Of
each other.
They patronized airport motelS
where they could do their business
in a hurry and get out Of town.
One set Of conspirators, however,
chose a cabin near North Bay,
Ontario, as the setting for a ses-
sion to boost prices.
But with all their precautions,
the trust-busters caught up with
them. Here's how:
On the big custom made equip
ment, they had carefully created
variations, however slight, in
their bids. But in the smaller,
more standardized equipment,
they charged identical prices
and made identical bids. Theo-
retically, in the flow of equipment
to a large operation, these small
er identical bids wouldn't be
noticed. But they were noticed
and the investigation was on.
The investigators had to start
by learning another language
the vocabulary Of the heavy elec-
trical equipment industry. Prose-
cutors whose only previous con-
nection with electricity was the
relation Of a light bulb to a socket
had to learn the functions Of
such items as steam surface con-
densers, power switchgear assem-
blies and low voltage power cir
cult breakers. to name a few.

Here are some Of the schemes
they used to divvy up the Gov
ernment business:
Some Schemes Used
Several sets Of high-echelon
conspirators agreed that each
company should get a certain per-
centage of the overall Govern.
ment business.
Thereafter, their subordinates
met at frequent intervals. One of
them did the bookkeeping to make
sure that each company got the
previously settled percentage Of
the business. When the contract
was awarded-not by the Govern
ment but by the conSpirators-
the subordinates would agree on
what the winner was to bid and
what the others were to bid to be
sure they didn't get the job.
In another scheme, l6 COM
panies were competing theoreti-
cally. Since 1t was too cumber-
some to get price agreements
among so many, they divided the
country into four geographic areas
or quadrants. Four companies
were assigned to each area. Each
area had a chairman and could
work out its own system Of allo-
eating the business. One might
do 1t by drawing lots. another by
alphabetical rotation.

House Redistricting: Inequalities

of the unchanged 1st district will
be 663,5l0; the revised I'd district,
440,415. and the new Sd district;
1926. Each voter in the new Sd
district will have about 31a times
as big voice in the House as the
average 1st district voter. -
Once again, the plan favors the
dominant Democratic Party. In
1860, for example, the Statewide
Republican congressional vote was
about $4,000 votes higher than
the Statewide Democratic con.
gressional vote. )
Yet, if the new districting plan
had been in effect, the Repub-
licanS would have won the 1st
district by some $4,000 votes, while
the Democrats captured the I'd
district by some $4,000 votes and
the Sd district by some 1000 votes.
AS 1t happens, the dominant
political party in both Maryland
and Arizona is Democratic, but
political observers expect the Re-
publicans to press their advan-
tage in similar fashion in States
like New York, Kansas and Iowa,
where they control the redistrict-
ing.
The battered theory of equality
Of representation is more likely
to be observed, ironically enough,
in one-party States than in two
party backgrounds. The redis-
tricting plan worked out in solidly
Democratic Arkansas last week,
for example, creates three dis
tricts OF almost equal population
and a fourth that is about two
thirds the population of the other
three.
By realistic standards, that Is
as close to equality as any State
is likely to come.

the grand Jury only those neces-
sary to get the information he
needs. He carefully avoids those
who appear most responsible for
the existence of the conspiracy.
Those he saves for prosecution.
Indictments Covered Months
The first of four grand juries
started investigating in June, 1859.
The indictments began coming out
in February. 1860, and continued
through October, 1860. BY that
time there were 20 indictments
alleging that many separate con-
SpiracieS.
In December, 1860, the 20 COM
panieS and As individuals pleaded
guilty or did not contest the
charges. Last week they were
sentenced. Judge Ganey handed
out fines totalling nearly 50
million, sent seven to Jail and
gave "a suspended sentences ac-.
companied by five years proba-
ton.
How did reputable businessmen,
some vice presidents Of their COM
panies, leaders in their communi-
ties, get in such a mess?
Their lawyers gave varying an
SwerS. Some described what the
defendants had done as "a way
Of life-everybody'S doing it."
Some said they were instructed
to do it. Some felt their Job
security depended on their con-
forming to an accepted pattern.
Some called it a Calculated risk"
General Electric'S president re-
peatedly emphasized that the
admitted acts of some Of his
employees not only were not au-
thorized but were positively for
hidden by long-standing COM
pany policy in writing.
WESTINGHOUSE president said
the men involved from his COM
pany did not act for personal gain
but in the belief-"misguided
though it may have been"-that
they were furthering the COM,
pany's interest. :
Judge Ganey, in his whitening
pre-Sentence statement, told the
crowded courtroom that he was
convinced that great number Of
the individual defendants were
torn between conscience and an
approved company policy, with
the rewarding objectives Of pro-
motion, comfortable security and.
large salaries-in short, the or

sanctioned. He vigorously de-
Tended the constitution in the
Connecticut ratifying conven-
ton. His Letters to a Land
holder" printed in the Connect
icut Courant and the American
Mercury, had a broad influence
during the ratification debates,
much as the FederaliSt papers
did in New York.
In 1889 Ellsworth became one
of Connecticut's first United
States senator's and the &C
knowledged Federalist leader in
the senate. He reported the first
senate rules and suggested a
plan for printing the journals,
shaped the conference report on
the Bill of Rights, framed the
measure of admission for North
Carolina, helped devise the gov
ernment of the territory south
OF the Ohio and drafted the
first bill regulating the consular
service. He was chairman of the

and private companies which had
purchased from these companies.
From them. they accumulated
enough information for the At
torney General to authorize a re-
quest for a grand jury inveStiga-
ton.
Grand jury files are secret but
this is the usual procedure-and
the one undoubtedly followed in
these cases:
Corporate records are sub
poenaed. The corporation has no
immunity from prosecution and
must produce the records, even
though they may be discriminating.
The requested records may in
clude such interesting items as
expense account vouchers-who
went where and when. Also sub
poenaed is correspondence which
reflects who is responsible for
pricing, whom he reports to and
whom he receives reports from.
Pricing manuals, contracts, sales
statistics. even telephone direc-
tories are requested.
Now, on the basis of the infor-
nation spread out in the corporate
records, the prosecutor decides
who he wants to call to the witness
chair. Usually, he starts with the
low men on the totem pole. When
they appear before the grand jury,
they can't refuse to testify but
they are immune from prosecu-
ton. One Of the greatest legal
weapons Of the antitrust division
is its 1903 immunity statute.

Antitrust Cases: A Story Of Industrial Intrigue

They found that didn't work
too well. There were. o lot Of
"gripe sessions" where one COM
pany accused another Of chiseIing
not sticking to his own quad
rant. Some companies complained
they weren't getting enough busi-
ness.
There was so much dissatisfac-
ton that the company men had
q meeting to set up q national
ALLEGATION system, based on per-
centages-the system that some
conspirators In other lines were
already using. But they made
their decision in September. 1859,
and the scheme never got off the
ground. The Federal Investigators
got too close too soon.
Preferred Positions
Two sets Of conspirators used
a system called preferred posi-
ton" II one company couldn't
get the contract by agreement
Of the others. they would draw
lots to see who came out In the
preferred position"-the winner.
They had already agreed on the
asking price for the Job. The slips
they drew told them how much
they were to bid off the asking
price. With that slip. each man
knew not only whether he had
won or lost the contract but
where his position was to be in
the bidding-high, low or in the
middle-and exactly what he was
to bid. %. .s-=
These ALLEGATION schemes in
volved Government bids where the
low man usually won automati-
cally. Another scheme-the most
complicated Of all-waS devised to
deal with private utility firms,
where such other factors as serv-
ice and firms previous relation
ship with the bidders are taken
into consideration along with the
lowness Of the bid. So this scheme
was devised to avoid detection by
assuring some variation in the
bids, but not too wide q variation.
This was called the phase of
the moon" scheme-so named be-
cause the moon has four phases
and so did the scheme. It pro-
vided for automatic rotation Of
bidding positions every two weeks.

That Maryland is not an isolated

Gated by reports from Arizona
where the Democrats provided in
1947 for the location of the third
congressional district the State is
now entitled to.
REPUBLICANS are trying to change
the 14-year-old plan to permit
the new representative to be
elected at-large. but the Demo-
cratic majority in the legislature
seems likely to Stymie their plans.

which comprises all Of the re-
mainder of the State. was repre-
sented by Stewart l.. UdaE, the

Yet the 1947 redistricting plan.
which seems very likely to go into
effect, affords no additional rep

and instead allocates the new seat
to the lightly populated northern
counties.
Under this plan the population
