Tair Trade' Law
Repeal Is Urged
Washington (U.PJ A special
Justice Department committee
has recommended repeal of the
federal "fair trade" law which
permits manufacturers and re
tailers to make price-fixing ar
rangements in most states.
The committee reported to
Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr.
after an 18-month study that
flict with federal anti-trust pol
such pricing arrangements con
icy. The federal "fair trade" law
of 1952 gives immunity from
anti-trust prosecution to agree
ments between manufacturers
and retailers to fix the retail
price of products. This immunity
is effective only in states which
have enacted their own "fair
trade" laws. When the act was
passed in 1952, 45 states had
such laws.
These state laws permitting
pricing arrangements are at odds
with "the most elementary prin
ciples of a dynamic free enter
prise system," the committee
said.
A majority recommended
that Congress repeal the 1952
McQuire federal law and its
1937 predecessor, the Miller-Tyd-ings
act, so that "resale-price
maintenance, as other price-fix
-ing practices," will again be
come subject to federal anti
trust controls.

AW SHUCKS! Six-year-old LeRoy Curtis of Denver turns
bashful after presenting the symbol of the American
Cancer Society, the Sword of Hope, to President Eisen
hower in the White House. He had just been introduced to
the President by Wisconsin's Governor Walter J. Kohler
(right), chairman of the Society's board of directors.
Boy, Symbol of Cancer
Society Drive, Is Grandson
Of Couple at Central Point
LeRoy Curtis, six-year-old Denver boy who helped President
Eisenhower open the annual Cancer society drive for funds this
year, is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Curtis, Rt. 2, Box 658,
Central Point. LeRoy, who underwent surgery for cancer when
he was only two months old, handed Mr. Eisenhower a sword,
symbolic of the annual cancer drive.
A United Press dispatch from Washington said that the presi
dent gave the lad a smiling, enthusiastic welcome, and helped him
adjust the massive sword handle.
LeRoy was presented to the presidency Gov. Walter J. Koh
ler, Wisconsin, chairman of the board of the American Cancer
society.
LeRoy and his younger brother, Steve, are the stars of a movie
short made by the American Cancer society which will be used
throughout the nation this month to call attention to the annual
fund drive. The film points up the fact that cancer, if found in
time, can be cured.
The two boys are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Curtis of
Denver, and the film was made in Denver City park under the
auspices of the Colorado division of ACS.

Stockholm (By Air Mail)
A trip through Swedish woods
reveals even to the casual ob
servation of the American tour
ist that the Industrial Revolu
tion is running far on its sec
ond wind in this most industrial
ly advanced country in the
North.
In a few years logging has
been mechanized to a startling
extent. Previously it had not
changed for hundreds of years
from the pattern of dumping
horse-drawn logs in streams dur
ing the spring freshet and then
fishing them out at mill and
collecting sites.
Trucks Now Used
Now the Swedish truck is
working its way into timber with
only minor road work, for the
underbrush and rought terrain
of Oregon timberland . is un
knbwn in these regions. Logged
over several times, Scandinavian
forests in general appear as well
kept parks in American eyes.
Trucks usually are equipped
with self-loading gear which
two men can handle. Thirteen
foot loads are not rare. Horses
still are used to snake out logs
except in the heaviest timber
where tractors have replaced
them entirely. But the long
haul of the log sleds to rivers
is gone.
Tractors drag to streams when
they are near. Trucks make the
long hauls, sometimes delivering
directly to the purchasing mill
or pulp and paper plant.
Compact Power-Saws
And the logger's hand saw j
in Scandinavia one logger is
enough for one tree has been
replaced by a light and compact
power saw. One Norwegian
model weighs 19A pounds and a
Swedish one 36 pounds.
From one winter camp (be
cause there is much marshland in
forests logging is done when the
ground is frozen solid) the trac
tors haul pre - fabricated huts,
kitchens, lunchrooms and even
Finnish steam baths to the next
logging site.
This revolution in logging will
result in construction of im
proved roads. At present, load
limits are imposed because of to a lesser extent in Finland, the
inadequate road beds for mod
ern traffic. Eventually the
state - owned railroads will feel
the pressure of modern truck
transportation, owned and 'di
rected by private enterprise.
Plants Modernized
The processing plant of the
forest industries has been mod
ernized for some time. Many
plants have been rebuilt seve
ral times. Scandinavian engin
eers claim that in general then
plants are as technically up to
date as anywhere.
In Sweden and Norway, and
existence of hydroelectric ener
gy in considerable abundance
has contributed to industrializa
tion that is apparent far and
wide. In old villages the most
modern appearing plants arise.

Oil Companies
Score Victory
Seattle (U.R) Eight major
oil companies being sued for
$300,000 by a former Seattle
service station operator scored !
a minor victory in U.S. District
Court here this week.
Judge John C. Bowen ruled
answers to questions put to the
oil companies in a similar case
in California could not be admit
ted as evidence.
George Moore, former Seattle
station operator, seeks $300,000
damages and an injunction pro
hibiting the oil firms from op
erating retail service stations. He
alleges none of the firms would
sell him gasoline because he cut
prices. , , ' ' .
George W. Jansen, attorney
for the Texas Co., said the an
swers in the California case con
tained confidential information
about the oil companies' busin
ess and that neither the answers
nor the questions had been used
in the California case so far.
Bowen held that when such
answers are forced under the
law they are not admissible as
evidence.
Defendants are Standard Oil
Co., of California, General Pet
roleum Corp., Union Oil Co.,
Richfield Oil Corp., The Texas
Co., Tidewater Associated Oil
Co., Shell Oil Inc., and its suc
cessor, Shell Oil Co.
