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."

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."
