Study Shows Giant Monopolies
Can't Develop in This Country
By ELMER C. 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. -

"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

American industry along Eu

2. "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."

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

say you got to admit these I
kids in school. The state says
we cant. So where are we?"
' 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

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

could be absorbed into other
schools. Before further crisis.
Almond could call a special
session of the General Assem

venting the mass closing of
schools.

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

would be in direct contradic
