Firm Sues ETC
Over Probe of
Clorox Merger
BY the Associated Press

The Proctor & Gamble Co
is seeking court aid in ending
its four-year battle with the
Federal Trade Commission over
its acquisition of the CloroS
Chemical Co.
The action, filed in the
United States District Court
here yesterday, asked that ar
ETC order for further hearings
be set aside.
An ETC hearing examiner
recommended in July, 1860, that
Proctor & Gamble be required
to dispose of all its interests in
Clorox, an Oakland Calf
firm, on the ground that the
merger probably would damage
competition and tend to create
a monopoly.
The commission rejected the
examiners recommendation
last June, but ordered further
investigation and hearings into
the actual effects of the merger
on competition in the house
hold bleach field. The FTC in
vestigation is still under way
but no further hearings have
been held.
Proctor 81 Gamble commended
in its court action that the
commissions findings did not
support the examiners conclu-
sion that competition would be
lessened substantially.
The action has been pending
since September, 1857, when
the original ETC complaint was
filed.

cent and in 1858 it was 1913
per cent.
BY comparison, in 1853 the

Saigon Papers
Slap U. 5. as
ImperiiaIistic'

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
Nov. IS (AP) Saigon news
papers. which frequently re-
fleet the views of President
Ngo Dinh Diem's government,
today accused the United
States of showing an i'm
perialiStic" policy toward
South Wet Nam.
An editorial in the Daily
Thoi Bao. reprinted in part
by the Daily Tue Do, suggested
the United States was trying
to govern South Wet Nam and
warned against attempts to
make a guinea pig" of the
republic.
The editorial criticism of the
United States, which has
pumped more than 50 billion
in financial aid to the South
east Asian nation, came as new
talks were under way between
United States Ambassador
Frederick E. Noting, jr., and
the government regarding in
creased United States military
aid. Mr.. Noting has conferred
with President Diem several
times since Monday.
Conditions Hit
us the American Govern
ment willing to help only on
the conditions that it exploit
Wet Nam with, a policy of
Imperialism" The Thoi Bao
editorial said.
The vague policy of the
United States concerning Cuba
and Laos has shown us the
face of Imperialism.
I'VE have grounds for be-
lieving the Americans will help
Wet Nam only on conditions,
and the main condition is to
be able to govern this country
under the usual policy of the
imperialistS," the editorial con-
tinued.
Called Guinea Pig
IF it is not satisfied, the
United States will turn Wet
Nam into a guinea pig, agitat-
ing the internal situation as it
did in Laos, then proceeding
to another Cuba case, that is,
pushing Wet Nam into the
Communist mouth.
I'VE must point out that this
ambition of the United States
| to govern the people Of Wet
Nam if such as it isis an
outmoded and reactionary
policy.
The people of Wet Nam are
free people and cannot be used
as pawns by the imperialists,'
the editorial concluded.

Last week he decided to re-

AS an elected official, Air

were quite unusual" He said
he thought he could tell from
the teeth if one of the bodies
was that of Miss Earhart.
In June, 1860, Mr.. Goerner
recovered old wreckage from
the bottom of a bay at Saipan
and said he believed it to be
from the Earhart plane. The
wreckage, however, included a

be from a Japanese plane.

Teeth, Bones From Soipon
Checked for Eorhurt Clue

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Is
(AP).-A handful of teeth and
a few bones, material for
mystery fans, formed the latest
chapter today in the mysteri-
Gus 1887 disappearance of
Amelia Earhart. the worlds
best known woman flyer.
Fred Goerner, Sc, a newsman
for radio station KCBS here,
told a news conference yeSter-
day that he found a shallow
grave in the jungle of Saipan
island that contained bones
and 81 human teeth.
I'VE are not sure these are
the remains of Amelia Ear
hart and Fred Noonan," Mr..
Goerner said, but DR.. Theo-
dore D. McCown. professor of
anthropology at the University
of California at Berkeley, has
agreed to study them"
Miss Earhart and Mr..
Noonan, her navigator, wee on
a flight around the world when
she disappeared July 2, 1887.
Fuel Low
The last word from her was
a radio message: Have one
half hour fuel and no land
fall" She was near Tiny How
land Island at the time, some
1000 miles from Hawaii.
Mr.. Goerner said Cmdr. Paul
Bridwell. Saipan's naval COM
mandant. hal offered the
theory that Miss Earhart and
Mr.. Noonan were forced down
in the MarShalls, then taken
by the Japanese to Saipan,
where they we're imprisoned.
Mr.. Goerner said the bodies
had been buried in Japanese
style, onl 2 feet deep.
Thomas E. Devine, a West
Haven, Conn, businessman, was
a soldier stationed in Saipan
in 1944-45. Mr.. Goerner said
Mr.. Devine told him he had
walked all over the island and
a native woman had pointed
out the shallow grave to him.
Story Told Years Later
Years later. he told Mr..
Goerner of the incident and,
Mr.. Goerner said yesterday,
that information led him to
the grave.
Mr.. Goerner said the re-
mains we're that of a man and
a woman and, from teeth I'M
covered, doctors indicated they
were Caucasians and quite pos
sibly those of Miss Earhart
and Noonan."
Mr.. Goernor said, Miss Ear
hart and Noonan may have
been kept on Saipan for a year
or more. was told Miss Ear
hart died of dysentery. After
her death Noonan was executed
by Samurai sword"
The Japanese, however, al
ways have said they knew
nothing of the aviatrix' dis
appearance and there has been !
no evidence that she and Mr.. |
Noonan were captured.
In Baltimore last night, |
Capt. Irving johnson. a man
who has spent years searching
for Miss Earhart and Mr..
Noonan, said he was person
ally sure that the bodies can't
be those of the lost flyers.
Capt. Johnson said he had
been stationed in the war
plans office at Pearl Harbor
during World War II and had
access to the complete file on
Miss Earhart. He said there
was no evidence that she might |
have been captured by the jap |
aneSe.
