Fair Trades System Seems
Unlikely To Get Any Help
From Congress Very Soon
WASHINGTON B The falter-,
ine "fair trade" system seems'
unlikely to get any help from Con-1
Kress, at least for th immediate
future.
Members who have wrestled
with the retail price fixing prob
lem in the past displayed a strong :
aversion Thursday to reviving the1
fair trade" controversy.
"Most of us don't want it to
come up," said one House mem-j
ber who has played a key role ;
in past legislation on the subject.
"Fair trade" is a system that
permits manufacturers, with state
and federal sanction, to fix and
enforce minimum retail prices on
brand name and patented prod
ucts. Struck Maior Blow
This system, suffering steady
attrition under state and federal
court decisions in the past five
years, was struck a major blow
Wednesday when General Electric
''o. abandoned its long-standing
iir trade policy on electrical
home appliances. The firm told
retailers to set their own prices.
In Chicago, the Sunbeam Corp.,
also ordered elimination of its
"fair trade'' policy on small ap
pliances, effective Thursday. It
said it acted for competitive reasons.
Since 1914 Congress has grap-!
pled with the problem of legalizing '
retail price fixing. It was not until
the depression of the 1930s, when
collapse of the price structure!
bankrupted thousands of store-!
keepers, that Congress acted to!
sanction establishment of a price
floor on trade-name products to
prevent price-cutting.
New Law Enacted
Then it enacted the Miller-Tyd-inas
Act, which exempted manu
facturers from the antitrust laws
by allowing them to enter into
price fixing agreements with re
tailers in states which permitted
such agreements.
In 1951, however, the Supreme
Court ruled the act unconstitutional-Congress
then passed the Mc
Guire Act. This law re-established
the principle, of the MUler-Tydings
Act and subjected retailers to civ
il penalties for price cutting
whether or not they were parties
to a "fair trade" agreement.
Since then, however, courts in
11 states outlawed state fair trade
statutes and two other states
abandoned their laws.
Some efforts currently are be
ing directed at enactment of a
i federal fair trade law.
No Bottles Blow
Tops Arouid
Noted Doctor
SEAaj'ORD. NY. i With a
Duke University psychologist on
hand yesterday, no bottles blew
their tops nor did objects fly in,
the home of the James Herrmann i
family. j
Since Feb. 3. the Herrmanns i
the parents and Lucille, 13, and
James Jr., 12 have reported fly
ing objects in their six-room ranch
home. In addition to bottles blow
ing' their screw tops, other things
have whizzed through the air in
cluding a portable phonograph.
The Duke specialist. Dr. J.
Gaither Pratt, is a member of the
university's parapsychology labora
tory, which investigates such things
as "extrasensory perception" and
other seemingly unexplainable
phenomena.
Hratt is trying to determine if
young James could be influencing
things. He has been close at hand
after every incident. Nobody has
seen the boy put the objects in mo
tion physically. Whether he is do
ing so mentally is another matter.

School Too Much
For Young Boy
MISSION. Kan. 11 The ques
tion was propounded in an English
class at Shawnee-Mission High
School yesterday and it had to do
with the literary merits of "Wald
en Pond," an essay by E. B.
White.
"What's in Walden Pond?" ask
ed Loren E. Simpson, the teacher,
planning a discussion of Henry
David Thoreau, Massachusetts
writer-philosopher who lived there.
"Wrfter," said Larry P. Yeakle,
17-year-old junior, a quiet, strap
ping big boy 6 feet 2, 190 pounds.
The class laughed.
Larry was found shot to death
last night in his bedroom. Dr. R.
D. Grayson, county coroner, said
it was a self-inflicted wound.
There was a note. Larry instruct
ed his father Donald N. Yeakle, a
tire salesman, on disposition of his
car and payment of his bills.
It added: "I see no possible fu
ture for me. Most of my trouble,
as you know, has been school.

Radio Station
KOACWillBe
Kept By State
PORTLAND i - The state sys
tem of higher education Wednes
day night said overwhelming pub
lic support has ensured continued
operation of state-owned radio sta
tion KOAC.
The system's General Extension
Division earlier this month held
four hearings on whether the edu
cational station should be dropped.
One suggestion was that the
radio station be abandoned and its
funds used to expand the facilities
of a state-owned television station,
Only one person at the hearings,
however, sooke out for the sta
tion's sale, said Dr. James Sher
burne, dean of the extension divi
sion.
Sherburne said this support,
coupled with that received by
mail, has made KOAC's sale out
of the question.
"The enthusiastic public support
tor kual programming has given
ail ol us the full assurance we
had hoped for," he said. This sup
port, ne added, "has assured con
tinued operation."
ine stations main studios are
at Corvallis.
And at Corvallis Wednesday
night. Dr. A. L. Strand, president
of Oregon State College, said the
wave of support probably will
mean a bigger budget for KOAC.
The station also has studios at
Eugene, Salem and Portland.
The extension division said the
station is received in an area in
which 800.000 persons live.
The station operates from 10
a. m. to 10 p. m. Monday through
Saturday.
Its most popular programs, the
division said, are broadcasts of
classical -music, market and farm
reports and news and weather in
formation. KOAC's education programs also
are used by public school teach
ers throughout much of the state.

Florence Beardsley
Speaks AtAAUWMeet
Miss Florence Beardsley, Direct
or of Elementary Educatioa in the
State Department of Education,
was guest speaker at a lovely din
ner meeting of the Roseburg
Branch of AAUW held on a recent
Thursday evening in the Gold
Room of the Hotel Umpqua.
Miss Beardsley was introduced
by Mrs. Adrian M. Lofland, chair
man of the Status of Women com
mittee. She spoke on the status of
women in today's world and pre
sented some startling (acts per
taining to conditions in the atomic
era into which civilization is now
launched.
With a look Into the future. Miss
Beardsley warned her audience of
the threat to woman in the present
trend towards youthful marriage
wherein the young people find
themselves confronted with the
need for gainful employment by
both to meet the financial demands
of present living standards. In
many cases, - this status of the
young mother precludes the col
lege training so needed in the
management and training of her
children. She concluded with the
statement that our nation has suc
ceeded m the abolition of one
group of slaves and now faces the
possibility of setting free the sec
ond set of slaves" our young wo
men.
Miss Beardsley warned the col
lege women to seriously consider
the situation and challenged them
to active participation in a study
of conditions. She said that state
support of kindergarten schools
was deleted by the last session of
the State Legislature and called
attention to the handicap of this
action.
About sixty members of the local
AAUW were in attendance at the
dinner. The speaker's table was
centered with a lovely arrangement
of pussywillows and the Valentine
Day motif. Mrs. Ralph Huestis,
chairman of the social committee,
had charge ot arrangements for the
meeting.
