WALZEH UPI Financial Editor New York (LTD For those who worry about giant mon opolies taking root in the United States, a study released today reveals that they just cant develop, anti-trust laws or no anti-trust laws. But the study a giant of two volumes prepared by the Twentieth Century Fund finds much good in the anti trust laws as barriers to con solidations intended to put firms in a dominating position in their industry, and as a more speedy way of expand ing competition than would be the case without them. - The study was written by Simon N. Whitney who sub stantially completed the work as chief of the fund's research department and professor of economics at New York uni versity. Whitney has since be PHOENIX D.

"Nearly Unanimous" The fund is quick to point out that Whitney's work does not in any way represent a statement of official govern ment policy. The study finds that Ameri cans show "nearly unani mous" support of the nation's anti-trust policies. However, it points out that precise results of anti-trust laws are extremely difficult to measure. The anti-trust . policies study lists' three effects that may be ascribed to our anti trust laws: 1. An "important contribu tion . . . has been to set up a barrier against cartelizing of Miss Joan Sundquist of Port Angeles, Wash., spent a day last week visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mitchell.

"Without the anti-trust laws there would doubtless be more attempts to create mon opolies by merger or other wise." 3. Anti-trust laws help "maintain both equality of op portunity and freedom of en try in industry a never ending struggle in which there are bound to be defeats along with successes." Despite these, the fact re mains, the study points out, that significant development toward greater competition in specific industries can't al ways be ascribed solely to the effects of government anti trust actions. Standard Oil For example, the study says that "in 1911 the Standard Oil and American Tobacco dis solutions laid the basis for the modern development of two important industries. "The oil decision was by no means solely responsible for the growth of competition, since the westward spread of oil exploration was already creating new companies. "Even in the case of tobac co, it is possible that the new type of cigaret which revolu tionized the industry after 1913 might have created com petition for the trust without the dissolution. "At, the very least, how ever, the two decisions ex panded the sphere of competi tion earlier than would have happened under a laissez Faire policy." "Sheer Bigness Unworkable" "There's something about sheer bigness that makes it un workable," the study indi cates. "There are psycholog ical, political and managerial obstacles .that prevent a giant from growing at the same per centage as smaller firms." In their report on the study, the fund committee remarks: "Should anti-trust policy of one of our exports in the field of ideas? Why have cartelized Germany and Switzerland been so prosperous if an anti trust policy is theoretically a better method of operation? Should be subject American enterprise abroad" to the Sher man Act? In dealing with these issues one should not overlook the fact that busi ness practices of foreign con cerns are usually merely those approved and even engaged in by their governments." Now that the study is com pleted, the committee says its specific findings can hardly be regarded as definitive. "They inevitably have the character of first approxima tions to be improved and re fined as further study is given I this neglected field." OVER A DAY CRY OVER, FOLD AND A ANSWER!

Forces Working Behind Scenes To Avoid Another 'Little Rock' By LON K. SAVAGE United Press International Richmond, Va. (UPD There has been so much confusion about what's likely to happen when schools open in Virginia next month, it might be worth while to look into the situa tion. It's serious, all right. It threatens to close several schools and possibly several school systems. It almost cer tainly will bring the state government into fresh con flict with, the federal govern ment. There is the potential here for another Little Rock, although forces on all sides seem to be working feverish ly behind the scenes to pre vent that. What's happened is that Ar lington county in Washing ton's front yard and the cit ies of Norfolk and Charlottes ville have been ordered to de segregate schools when class es open in September. They have exhausted appeals from these orders. Has "Resistance" Laws ' But under Virginia law, if any white school accepts Ne groes, it would be closed un der one of the state's "mas sive resistance" laws. On the ether side is the kind of fed eral court order that, led to the Army being sent to Little Rock last fall. "I don't know what will happen," said Norfolk Super intendent J. J. Brewbaker. "I don't know even what our po sition is. The federal courts IF YOU EXTRA LEAN CENTER CUT SHOULDER PORK STEAK Price Good Through Wed., Aug. 20th LIVE THE ''erne IMtllllllllll A VAYAY.V.V.V.

' Suppose one of the integra tion - ordered cities should agree to abide by the orders? Under Gov. 'Lindsay Al mond's "massive resistance" plan, he would assume con trol of the affected school dis trict, reorganize it and reopen it on a segregated basis. He is talking now in terms of tak ing up the matter , by individ ual integrated classes, how ever, rather than entire schools or district. Open Private Schools If the state failed to get by with the re-opening plan, the school then would be closed. Pupils would be sent to some kind of private school. If only a few pupils were involved, they would be absorbed into other schools and, for the time at least, that would be the end of it. At that point, however, par ents of the Negro litigants are expected to ask the courts again to order the affected school re-opened on an inte grated basis. That's where the state of Virginia- and the gov ernment would be at a "Little Rock" crossroads. One of the big question marks in the whole Virginia situation is whether private schools would work. Even the highest state authorities are doubtful. If a consider able number of public schools were closed, there simply I wouldn't be enough facilities AREN'T TRADING AT THE GROCETERIA YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH 6TH AND GRAPE - .

Out of the confused puzzle, this is about the best way any one can put it together at the moment: The chances are that only a few schools actually will be closed in September. The stu dents from them probably could be absorbed into other schools. Before further crisis. Almond could call a special session of the General Assem bly to re-writehis strict laws, at least to the extent of pre venting the mass closing of schools. i Norfolk might be the spot where actual integration would first be tested. s The school board there has said it will comply with the federal court order and that it could not "guarantee" complete segregation. Although , Arlington has been ordered to admit Ne groes, who have been named as they were in Little Rock to presently all w h i t e schools, the pupils will be as signed under the state Public Placement act. It is expected the Negroes will be assigned to Negro schools although this would be in direct contradic tion of the court order. Charlottesville may attempt to get by with a new school district plan that would put all Negro pupils in one dis trict. .
