Paint Companies Face Charges PITTSBURGH, Pa. P Firms which make nearly half the na lion's paints, varnishes and lacquers, and the men who run them were under indictment Wed nesdaycharged with a conspir acy to fix the prices of their pro ducts. A federal grand jury, acting on complaints of the U.S. govern ment, handed down the indict ments in U.S. district court Tues day, naming 14 major paint com panies and 20 officials. Nearly'Half These companies, the indict ments said, handled more than 45 per cent of the nation s billion dollar yearly paint business. Attorney General Tom Clark said the cases were a part of the government's anti-trust program aimed at "illegal conspiracies" in the housing fields. He said Commerce Department records "indicate that prices in the paint industry rose more rapidly after the removal of OPA ceilings than in any other industry." Charge Conspiracy The indictments specifically ac cused the firms of engaging in "a combination and conspiracy to fix, stabilize, maintain and control the prices, discounts, allowances and terms of sale" of their products. In Cleveland, spokesmen for two of the companies under in dictment protested there was no basis for the charges. Adrian D. Joyce, chairman of the board of Glidden Co., said: "There's nothing to it. We never met with any other paint concern to discuss prices and costs. Our prices are very much the same as other firms' due to competition." m i urn i m COBURG This is Mrs. Floyd E.

US Steel Price Hits New High PITTSBURGH (U.B United States Steel boosted its prices to an all-time high Wednesday by increasing the cost of all finished steel products an average of $9.34 a ton. U. S. Steel sets the price pat tern for the entire industry, and other large producers were ex pected to make corresponding raises. Thus the price boost even tually will be reflected in all fin. ished products such as automo biles, refrigerators and electrical equipment. The new 9.6 per cent price boost wiped out the average cut of $1.25 per ton the company made last April in an ffort to halt spiral ing wages and prices, and also im posed additional increases of about $8.09 a ton. Daily Worker Chief Gives Up NEW YORK 0 The eighth top Communist leader of 12 indict ed on charges of advocating vio lent overthrow of the U.S. govern ment surrendered Wednesday. John Gates, 34, editor of the Daily Worker, Communist Party newspaper, said as he appeared In federal court, "I have a clear conscience." Later he was released on $5000 baiL Six Others Six others of the party high command, headed by Chairman William Z. Foster, and Eugene V. Dennis, general secretary, former ly of Seattle, were arrested Tues day night shortly after the special federal grand jury returned the indictments. A seventh was held in Detroit. Gates, an Army paratrooper in the war, said he learned of the indictments from the newspapers Wednesday morning. Bail of $5000 each for the six arrested here was posted in U.S. treasury bonds Wednesday by Robert W. Dunn, treasurer of the Civil Rights Congress, when they appeared before federal judge Vincent L. Leibell. Brings Protest The arrests, one of the sharpest blows yet struck against organized Communism in this country, brought an immediate, strongly- worded protest from national headquarters of the party. It described the indictments as a "monstrous frame-up" and said the arrests were part of a plan by President Truman to embarrass the New Party of Henry A. Wal lace. Foster and the others indicted are specifically accused of "con spiring to teach and advocate the overthrow of the United States government by force and violence."
