the civil level against the Utah
State Pharmaceutical AsSocia-

similar complaint.
Await High Court Tests
A number Of cases inherited
from the previous adminiStra-
ton now face Supreme Court
tests which can have an i'm
portant impact on the depart
ment's future proceedings.
One of these involves the
scope of the 1850 Cellar-Ke-
fauver Act, which strengthened
the Governments hand against
mergers. All the merger cases
are being brought under this
act. Mr.. Loevinger acknowl-
edged that an adverse deci-
sion in this case could limit
the application Of the statute,
but added that this depends
on what the high court says.
He is less concerned about
another question involving
antitrust enforcement. In
June, Federal judge in Mis-
souri, dismissed an indictment
against an individual officer
of National Dairy Products
Corp. on the ground that the
action against him should have
been brought under the 1914
Clayton Act instead Of the
1890 Sherman Act. A District
Court judge here in September
dismissed price-fixing charges
against six executives Of Wash
ington building supply firms
on the same grounds.
Electrical Penalties PeriIed
Mr.. Loevinger said the de-
partment had always brought
its cases against individuals
under the Sherman Act, al
though the cases are harder
to prove because the Govern
ment must show the individual
was wholly rather than par
TALLY involved in the action.
Among those sentenced under
the now contested procedure
were the officials in the Gov
ernment's big case against the
electrical industry.
He said, however, that If the
Supreme Court rules against

ticularly. Since January, he
4, said, his division has looked at
+, approximately 100 bank mer-
gers but has filed only five
suits to block them.
He said the department could
yhave gone into Is other, smaller
banking cases where the banks
would have capitulated rather
than spend many thousands Of
dollars to fight the Govern
ment'S battery Of lawyers.
, Instead, he said, the anti
trust division has concentrated
on the major mergers which
+: would give the banks a sub
! stantial competitive advantage
, over all other commercial
banks in the area.
! Small Business Affected
:. The big bank mergers, Mr..
Loevinger explained, are being
opposed by the Government be-
cause Of their effect not only
on other banks, but on small
and medium-sized businesses
seeking loans. BY merging, he
said, the banks admittedly can
commit the loan money in huge
chunks to big Enthusiastically
making it more difficult for the
smaller fellows to get stable
loans.
The Justice Departments
, new selectivity in enforcing
ANTITRUST laws applies across
the board. Mr.. Loevinger said
the department is focusing on
clear violations of antitrust
laws. in large and small BUSH
ness. and on restrictive trade
practices of substantial eco.
nomic Importance.
The antitrust division is
thus rejecting complaints where
the impact of competition is
less than substantial. Inevi.
.tably, by this yardstick, larger
companies are getting more at
.tention.
We're not just cunning for
big companies" Mr.. Loevinger
said, but big companies have
a potentially greater impact be-
cause of their bigness. If a big
.company's trade practices are
restrictive, they are likely to
be substantially restrictive"
That was implicit in Justice
Department moves against the
Chrysler Corp. and General Mo-
tors.
The department, in filing a
civil antitrust suit against
Chrysler, accused the third.

quiring retail dealers to give

On outright violations, MIR.
Loevinger said, cases are prose-
cuted regardless of the size of
the companies involved. These
include allegations of price,

Typical Of these cases were

groups. In Huntington, w.
Va, the Community Players,
started in 1887, found a
rouser in Joseph j. Dove, who
took over as full-time direc-
tor in 194S.
Dove injected first night

RECORD REVIEW ~
For Lent: Shure's
GoIiIeon Easter Carol
BY HERMAN SCHADEN
Star Record Critic

6bAE ECCOtu NAibAO
Any record on religious
themes that sells $4,000
copies in a year seems worthy
Of re-examination. Doubly so
in the Lenten season and
when one of the composers
represented thereon Is a
Washingtonian.
The record: 1.-The Lord Is
My Shepherd" columbia
NIL 5000 sung by the famed
Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
The composer: r. Deane
Shure, for 40 years minister
of music at Mount Vernon
Place Methodist Church.
Especially suited to this
holy season are the 13 selec-
tions. DR.. Shure's is titled
"The Galilean Easter Carol"
and it has a lovely back
ground.
In 1886 DR.. Shure was in
vited to the Holy Land to
play his Palestine Suite for
organ. One day while driv-
ing around the sea where
Jesus taught, the composer
heard children singing folk
songs, some in English.
This was the inspiration
for the Easter song that was
to appear on records nearly
Is years later. 1t was
sketched on the shores of
Galilee and completed here.
In Hans Kindler's time the
National Symphony Orches-
ira frequently played DR..
Shure's works. the tone poem.
"The Circles Of Washington"
no less than a dozen times.
To his credit as well are 100
published anthems.
Another Of his pieces,
Watts Nativity Carol" is
heard on a Columbia Christ
mas record, THE Holly and
the Ivy" also sung by the
Mormon choir.

ALSO FOR LENT
Appropriate, too, for this
or any other time Of year is
another of the appealing
Bach Cantata records from
Vanguard. These are Canta-
tas No. IL (Weeping, Wall
ing, Anguish. Dread and No.
20 CUnto Thee, o God, do we
give thanks.
Under the hand Of the
Danish conductor, Mogens
Woeldike, there emerges a
spiritual quality that only
Bach can impart. At each
hearing, one realizes that un-
til he has found Bach, he
has not heard the angels
sing.

LET FREEDOM SING
Such Is the title Of a Capt.
tol record conducted and
narrated by Fred Waring. OF
course his Pennsylvanians, so
long a part Of our music
scene, play this stirring choral
work.
It is a musical chronicle Of
our country from the time
of Columbus to the death OF
Lincoln, as conceived by Roy
Ringwald. One hears at the
outset and close familiar
tunes such as God Bless
America and America the
Beautiful, but the main work
is original.
Each historic episode is
introduced by Waring. Each
episode is illustrated by songs
written to the words of Bry-
ant. Emerson. Lowell, Whit
tier, Longfellow, Holmes,
Whitman and others of
Americas poets. It is in fact,
as the subtitle suggests AN
Album for Americans" and
one every American should
be glad to have in his home.
