ficerS of Capital who wanted

Sible jobs with no cut in pay.

the American institute OF Cel
speech before the District In
stitute of CPA'S at the Shore
ham Hotel.
Mr.. Pile said there have been
so many serious lapseS in the
area of conflicts of interest and
failure on the part of some
elected officials and appointees
to governing bodies to honor
their public trusts as to en-
rage many citizens.
TOO many have found it
easy to court dishonor, to their
financial disadvantage" he
said. In doing so. they have
not only betrayed the puhlic's
trust; they have jeopardized
the regulations of vast numbers
of conscientious public servants.
Il have been thinking Sc
riously of pushing a tentative
plan I have, involving forma-
ton of strong national group
which could be called, for ex-
ample, the Honor League for
Integrity in Government"
Mr.. Pile said he was ad-
vancing this proposal on a ten
tative basis and asked members
of the national organization of
CPA's to offer suggestions.
He suggested that a political
candidate or appointee be re-
quired to perform along these
lines:
l. Upon taking office he
would submit his financial
statement to a committee of
trustees of, say, newspaper rep
resentatives, or perhaps bank
erS. He would have books
which can be audited by CPAs
Of the committees choice an
nually during his term of Of
flee. This would also apply to
his controlled companies, part
nerships or business ventures.
q. He would agree to permit
examination by the CPAs of his
personal, as well as his con-
trolled companies or partner
ships or ventures income tax
returns.
3. In addition to taking the
usual oath of office, he would
pledge himself to neither solicit
nor accept any professional
engagement from the regula-
tory or political body which he
serves, or any work or business
from anyone in return for
fayorS granted. He would pledge
not to use any company. part
nership or business entity to
indirectly enrich himself
through the use of his influence
or power.
4. He would subscribe to a
code Of conduct appropriate to
his public office to be con-
fected by specialists in the
particular field, with the help
Of the group sponsoring the
league.
2 5. He would agree to answer
3 QUESTIONABLE annually on the
conditions agreed upon. as well
as on his personal conduct while
holding office.
6. He would give in writing to
the trustee committee the right
to produce and publish any es-
tablished violation of trust on
his part.

ChrYs|er Corp.
Facing Dealer
Trust Suit

The Justice Department
today accused the Chrysler
Corp. of applying illegal pres
sure against dealers to force
them to stop selling Stude-
baker-Packard Larks.
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy announced that the
department has filed a civil
antitrust action in District
Court in Fort Wayne, Ind,
against the Chrysler Corp, and
its subsidiary, Chrysler Motor
Corp, which distributed cars
of the parent firm.
The complaint charged that
ChrySler unlawfully required
dealers to give up franchises
for other cars - particularly
Studebaker-Packard's Lark-in
violation of the restraint of
trade" sections Of the Sherman
Antitrust Act and the Clayton
Act.
Lark, Valiant Involved
The principal makes involved
in the complaint are compact
cars = the Studebaker-Packard
Lark and Chrysler's Valiant. A,
number of ChrySler products
dealers sold the Lark before
Chrysler went into the compact
car field in the fall of 1859.
After the Valiant became
available. the complaint alleged,
Chrysler representatives ION
numerous occasions" told the
dealers they could not sell the
Valiant unless they stopped
selling the Lark.
The complaint asserted that
"a substantial number" OF
dealers entered into unlawful
agreements or UNDERSTANDINGS
to cease selling Larks. These
agreements, the complaint al
legged, began at least year ago.
The complaint said the
agreements "have the effect
of lesSening competition" and
causing substantial injury to
the Studebaker- Packard Corp.
by depriving that company Of
a substantial number of out,
let's" "
A Chrysler spokesman said,
while we have not seen the
complaint, we are generally
familiar with the subject mat
ter and in our opinion there is
no cause for action. We have
made our records available to ,
the Department of Justice and
co-operated with them in every
way. 1t is not our policy to
apply illegal pressure against
our dealers and We have not
done So" 81
InjunctiOnS Sought
OF approximately 2.258
Studebaker Packard dealers, 3
nearly a third also sell cars
of other makes, including
Chrysler makes. r.
The complaint aSked the
court for both temporary and
permanent injunctions against
the alleged practice of the
ChrySler Corp.
Chrysler is the third largest
American car manufacturer,
while Studebaker-Packard is
said to be the Nations smallest.
