A&P Co. Denies
Monopoly Charge
NEW YOKK, April 1UJ1-The
Great Atlantic 4 Pacific Tea com
pany flatly denied monopoly
chargea Monday and accused the
Justice department of trying to
change the nation'! whole econom
ic structure through its anti trust
suit.
In ita first formal answer to the
government's civil suit, the food
chain told the U. S. district court
that the public would sutler "ir
reparable injury" if the A It P
organization is broken up.
Asking dismissal of the suit. A
ft P said there is "no justification
in fact or in law for the drastic
and confiscatory destruction" of
the company.
The company't 109-point answer
said the justice department "is
asking this court to adopt, by ju
dicial fiat, new and extremist prin
ciples of law which would result
in a complete remodeling of the
entire economic structure of this
company."
The government's suit, filed last
September under the Sherman
anti-trust act, charged that the A
& P and a group of affiliates were
a monopoly in restraint of trade.
In its answer, A&P termed its
expansion over 90 yeara a "natur
al growth" which came almost en
tirely from within the company
and not by mergers or by buying
out competing companies.

Bridges Faces Threat Of
Losing U. S. Citizenship
(Continued from page One)
glum silence to the proceedings.
He had no comment afterward,
in contrast with his charge of "im
migration frameup" at the end of
his stormy, 81-day trial.
His attorneys, both of whom
were sentenced for contempt dur
ing the bitterly waged trial, said
they would vigorously oppose any
move to revoke Bridges' citizen
ship. They also said they would
carry appeals to the supreme
court, u necessary, contending
that the trial was conducted on
a "political" and even a "patri
otic" basis.
Judge Harris, in rejecting a
motion for a new trial, denied
that "the verdict was the result
of hysteria" or thst the trial was
"an oblique attack on militant
trade unions."
All three defendants were re
leased on bail, but it was in
creased. Bridges' was fixed at 125,
000 and the other two men at S10,
000 ipiece. Previously, each of the
three had been under $5,000 bail.
Court Again Assailed
Defense Attorney Vincent Halli
nan, under six months' sentence
for contempt, and his colleague,
James Maclnnis, under three
months' sentence, made more
charges of bias against Judge
Harris yesterday while striving to
arrest judgment and gain a new
trial.
When Maclnnis referred to "the
indescribable bitterness and ha
tred in this case," Judge Harris
interrupted.
"When you ascribe any hatred
to this court," he said, "for the
record I would like to say that I
have felt no bitterness, hatred or
ill will in this rase."
Before paselig sentence, the
judge observed:
I say that the verdicts are fair
and just. The verdicts will stand
a courageous decision on the
part of an intelligent jury . . . they
will serve as a lasting memorial
that the integrity of the naturaliza
tion laws of these United States
must be upheld."

ing took place roughly 350 miles
east of Copenhagen. They gave the
site as Lepaya (Libau) on the Bal
tic sea, and said the plane pene
trated about 13 miles into Latvia,
which is regarded by Moscow as
Soviet territory.
Foreign Minister Vishinsky, in
his protest to U. S. Ambassador
Alan Kirk, said the plane "bearing
American identification marks" was
sighted south of Lepaya last Satur
day. "Owing to the fact that the
American plane continued to pene
trate into Soviet territory, a flight
jof Soviet planea took off from a
nearby aerodrome and demanded
that the American follow it and
! land at the aerodrome," the pro
j test added.
I "The American pUne not only
failed to comply with thia demand
j but opened fire on the Soviet planes.
Owing to this, an advanced Soviet
fighter was forced to open fire in
reply, after which the American
plane turned toward the aea and
disappeared."
Vishinsky denounced the Incident
I as a gross violation of the Soviet
frontier and "an unheard of viola-
tion of the elementary rules of in
ternational law. -
U. S. air force headquarters at
Wiesbaden had no report that any
U. S. military aircraft, aside from
the navy plane, was flying in the
Baltic area Saturday.
Air force officers said that if the
Russian report waa true, the miss
ing navy plane may have been
damaged by Soviet fighter fire to
such an extent it could not reach
a place of safety.
The air force quoted a crew mem
ber of the missing plane, who did
not make the flight, as saying the
craft did not have any weapons
or ammunition aboard but that
one officer may have carried a .45
caliber service pistol.
Fliers said the navy's "Priva
teer" bears some resemblance to
the B-29, but that an experienced
observer would not mistake the
two.

Warren Ward, program director
of radio station KRNR, spoke
j briefly on Mitchell's background.
Entitling his talk, "Kadio Ad

subject as a means of reaching out

in the door of modern merchan
dising and the voice of business
in the market place, said the
speaker.
According to Mitchell, Radio has
brought about a new means of

of mass communication, can de
liver one message which reaches
millions of listeners which no
other form of communication can
duplicate.
The New York advertising man
concluded his remarks stating that
