The department refused to ac cept the proferred deal because it considered insufficient the con cessions volunteered by the pow erful professional boxing cor poration. The club was charged in March of 1952 with monopolizing the promotion, exhibition, broad casting, telecasting and motion picture production of profession al championship bouts in the United States. It was learned that attorneys for the club met with the Jus tice Department's antitrust ex perts about two months ago in an effort to negotiate a settle ment. The department Saturday would not comment on these talks, nor even admit they took place. But a spokesman said "There is nothing being discus sed at this time with defense counsel." "We are still preparing to go to trial," he said. THE AMAZING VOLKSWAGEN All over the world people use automo biles. And all over the world the Volks Wacett has wnn rnnnrlocD friends.
