ARNOLD HAS PLAN FOK
ENFORCING ANTI-TRUST
SCHEME WOll.II AFFECT
LITTLE. UIO BUSINESS
REGIONAL OFFICES
V1SIONEO IN IM.,N
CONSENT DECREE ACTION
ELABORATION SUGGESTED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. A de
tailed plan for actual enforcement of
the anti-trust laws has been pre
pared, and will probab be presented
to congress by 'Assistant' Attorney
General Thurman Arnold. Arnold Is
a Puckish fellow, fond of upsetting
the applecart of the established varl
tles. And it Is his strange ambition.
Just now, to disprove the ancient
maxim that the anti-trust laws are
unenforceable.
Seriously speaking, the Arnold plan
la exceedingly significant. Real en
forcement of the anti-trust laws
would affect 'American business much
more intimately than the passage of
a new wage-hour or labor relations
act. .From the time of their enact
ment, the laws have been dead letters
to all but a .small number of the larg
est corporations. All- sorts of price
fixing, end competition-strangling
have flourished among business men,
little and big. Occasional spaams of
fl trust-busting have merely Bpanked a
' few Bcore of the most obvious offen
ders. As a result, aa the vast majority of
competent economists testify, the
price and distribution systems have
become seml-rlgld. The state of af
fairs has been accepted as natural,
even Inevitable. But now comes
Arnold, once mayor of Laramie, Wyo..
who practices a sort of rowdy plains
man's humor, thumbing his nose and
shouting that the state of affaire
Isn't in the least natural or Inevit
able. And to prove his statement,
he offers his plan, which seems fairly
practical on paper.
The plan's first item Is a tremen
dous Increase In the personnel of the
Justice department's anti-trust divi
sion. The anti-trust laws have never
been enforced fer the simple reason
that there has been no one to enforce
them. In the trust-busting era, of
Roosevelt the first, the division con
sisted of five lawyers and four sten
ographers. Even now. there are only
ninety-seven men to police tens of
thousands of firms In hundreds of
industries. The anti-trust laws are

relchsmarka ($2,000)."
Payments by insurance companies
to Jews for damage done their shops
and synagogues during the Novem
ber 10 violence, after Vom Rath's
death, are to bo turned over to the
government.
I Predict Extermination
. Opening a winter long series of
anti-Semitic demonstrations, Propa
ganda Minister Goebbels told 2.000
colleagues at Kroll opera hotwe last

life.
Da Schwarz Korps, publication of
the black-uniformed elite guard, pre

The entire 20 per cent levy must
be paid by Aug. 15. 1939. Jews must
make their payments without fur
ther notice and will be subject to
further penalties If they fall to do so.

Chief Executive Arraigns
State for Seeking Federal
Aid in Public Works
Without Enabling Plan
By P. HAROLD OLIVER
WARM SPRINGS. Ga., Nov. 33.
(AP) President Roosevelt's arraign
ment of Georgia for seeking federal
aid for public works without sotting
up legal enabling machinery causea
somewhat of a atlr in state official
and political circles tod, ay.
coming rrom tne cniei executives
own "other homo" In Georgia, at a
prcs conference late yesterday, it
overshadowed Interest here in zr,
announcement Hugh R. Wiloon. am
bassador to Berlin, would arrive .'.tun-
day or Monday to report on Oerman
violence against Jews.
Politics Charged
Some observers attempted -to read
politics In the presidential statement
Georgia was the only state In the
union which had failed to cooperate
with the federal government on pub
lic works and would not receive an
other red cent until it had set up
enabling acta.
There waa not the slightest hint
of this in official circles, however.
Moreover, there were reports Sen.
Walter F. George, conservative Demo
crat whom Mr. Roosevelt sought un
successfully to defeat, may come
here for a chat during the presi
dent's two weeks' stay.
Such a report went the rounds
after the president told reporters
yesterday he had made no appoint
ments for. conferences here, except
t''(at .for Ambassador Wilson, who is
Coming down from Washington after
reporting at the state department.
He said he may also see Speaker
Ban knead and Majority Leader Ray
burn of the house while here, but
no definite appointments had been
made.
To Seek Legislation
First reaction to the president's
Oeorgla attack came from State Sen.
Paul Lindsay, of Atlanta, a leader
In the group that obtained federal
aid for a state prison In Tattnall
county and ft state Insane hospital
at Mllledgevllle through Indirect
loans, to circumvent the state con
stitutional ban against borrowing.
Lindsay expressed belief enabling
legislation could he accomplished
without a constitutional amendment
and a bill would be introduced In
the legislature convening January
9 to permit the state to issue reve
nue certificates against anticipated
revenues from self-liquidating pro
jects, a practice he said already was
authorized for counties and cities.
The president said the federal gov
ernment had become soft-hearted In
making the indirect loans for the
prison and asylum because It wanted
to see the state get Its share of PWA
money.
