Court Dismisses 78 indictments 0 San Francisco, April 21 VP) Anil-trust law indictments ag 'ainst 78 persons, contractors and labor unions were dismissed by Federal Judge A. F. St. Sure Monday In a ruling that upheld a labor union's contention that painting with spray guns would cut down available work for Its members. The 78, in a case growing oul of their refusal lo paint gov ernment housing projects with spray guns, had been charged with combining to restrict the use of such equipment. The defendants also contend ed that painting with spray guns was dangerous lo health. Judge St. Sure, after commenting Hint there was no indication the de fendants intended lo fix prices or suppress competition, ndded: "Here it appears llial Iho de fendants are not in the paint spray business and are not In competition with the trade which it is alleged llicy restrain ed. The indictment charges the defendants agreed to restrict the use of equipment," He comment ed that the union demands ap peared lo bo reasonable and Hint if employers accepted those de mands they could not bo con sidered unlawful. Pullman Company To Separate Branches ' Philadelphia, April 21 OI.Ri An expediting court of three U. S. circuit court of appeals Judg es has found the Pullman com pany guilty of violnting Die Sherman antl-lrust act and or dered It to separate Us car man ufacturing business from its ser vice branch. Judges Herbert F, Goodrich, John Biggs, Jr., and Albert Ma ris held last night that the pol icy of (he group in requiring railroads taking its personal ser vice lo lease or purchase cars from Pullman was a violation of the anti-lrust law, In New York, President Da vid A.

Prescott asked the committee here to make an investment in war bonds for him, t,o be credit ed to the Marion county drive. While Gard did not release the amount of bonds which Prescott desired to have purchased for him, he said it was a sizeable block. Prescott formerly was Oregonian representative here for many years and later Sena tor Bourne's private secretary in Washington. "Mr. Prescott's letter should be an inspiration to folks liv ing in the residential districts of Salem," said Chairman Gard. "We cannot make an individual house-to-house canvass over Salem, although we know there are a great many people who want to purchase bonds and are waiting for someone to call at their homes. We just don't have the people available for this and urge that any such home folks go to the nearest sales agencies at once and buy their bonds. If a man can send way up here from Alabama to get in under our quota, we urge those people right at home to do as much."

To Streamline More Products Washington, April 21 flJ.R) Drastic simplification of con sumers goods elimination of all frills but stopping short" of complete uniformity probably will be undertaken soon, reli able sources said today. The far-reaching program is on the desk of War Production Chairman Donald M. Nelson.

Simplification of industrial products already has been un dertaken by WPB on a small scale. Such products include baby carriages, farm machinery, feminine apparel, kitchen and household articles, hand tools, incandescent, fluorescent and other electric discharge lamps, paper and plumbing and heating equipment. One of the foremost objec tives of the proposed new pro gram, officials said, is the con servation of manpower.

Megee, USMC, acting chief, U. S. Naval Aviation Mission to Peru. Roosevelt and (Continued from page 1) Casino, of course, were a high spot of! the day. Avila Camacho stressed the solidarity" of Mexico and the United States in the common cause of destroying "the mach inery of barbarism constructed by the dictators. But he implied clearly that the contribution of Mexico with her relatively small army, would be chiefly "at home." 'Circumstances will determ ine for each one of us," ha said, the degree of direct participa tion in active combat but there is one thing which is in reach of all: the carrying on the fight immediately at home against those evils which offend and concern us in others." Mutual Confidence Both he and Mr. Roosevelt took note of the way Mexico has been turning out materials on which American war plants feed and sending her men across the border to work on farms. They exchanged mutual ex pressions of pride and esteem, and Mr. Roosevelt commented on "the harmory and mutual confidence which has prevailed between our armies and navies." "Brotherhood in arms has been established," he said. Mex icans and Americans have com mon aspirations in the shaping of a common victory and can work together for a common objective. "Let us never lose our hold upon that truth," he said. "It contains within it the secret of future happiness and prosperity for all of us on both sides of our unfortified border. "Let us make sure that when our victory is won, when the forces of evil surrender and that surrender shall be uncon ditional then 'we, with the same spirit and with the same united courage, will face the task of the building of a better world." Mr. Roosevelt lauded the sys tem of international cooperation which has been worked out for the western hemisphere and said Mexico had played an outstand ing role in forging it.

Prattler Sloe I01T Pine Workers Get Pay Raise Washington, April 21 (U.B Stabilization Director James F. Byrnes has ruled against a price increase for Pacific northwest pine companies but has approv ed a war labor board decision granting wage increases of ap proximately 7'4 cents an hour for 26,800 workers employed by pine companies in the area, it was learned today. It was un derstood that Byrnes left open, however, the possibility that some other form of relief might be found for the companies. His approval Required in any WLB decision which may involve an increase in prices was needed in this case because the companies sought a price increase to offset the wage boost, which was recommended by the WLB's west coast lumber commission. The WLB's verdict was re vealed last Saturday by Public Member Wayne L. Morse, who wrote a dissenting opinion in which he joined the board's la bor members in protesting that the wage Increase should have been higher.
