.Lakevicw-IUPIl-Humble , Oil
Co. has given up in its second
attempt to find oil in Lake

By JACK V. FOX
UPI Correspondent
In his chambers at the fed
eral courthouse, six blocks
from Independence Hall in
Philadelphia, U.S. District
Judge James Cullen Ganey
shook his head and said:
"I'll bet I got more mail
today than Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Ganey has received between
603 and 700 letters since he
sent seven executives of the
nation's electrical Industry to
jail, gave suspended prison
sentences to others and levied
fines of $1,924,500 in the gov
ernment's antitrust prosecu
tion of the top manufacturers
of heavy electrical equipment,
Ganey says the mail has
run 100-1 applauding his
severe punishment.
The individuals pleaded
guilty or no defense to charges
of fixing prices, rigging bids
and slicing up the $2 billion
annual business.
Ganey, 21 years on the fed
eral bench, emphasized in pri
vate his concern at the impli
cations of ethics and morality
in American industry.
In a pre-sentence statement,
he said:
'This is a shocking indict
ment of a vast section of our
economy, for what is really at
stake here is the survival of
the kind of economy under
which America has grown to
greatness, the free enterprise
system."
Bear Responsibility
Ganey remarked that the
defendants had mocked the
image of the system offered
as an alternative to state con
trol and dictatorship.
While the Department of
Justice has acknowledged that
they were unable to uncover
probative evidence which
could secure a conviction be
yond a reasonable doubt, of
those in the highest echelons
of the corporations here in
volved, in a broader sense
they bear a grave responsibili
ty for the present situation,
for one would be most naive
indeed to believe that these
violations of the law, so long
persisted in, affecting so large
a segment of the industry and,
finally, involving so many
millions upon millions of dol
lars, were facts unknown to
those responsible for the con
duct of the corporation."
General Electric, which re
ceived the heaviest fines, has
taken sharp and complete ex
ception to Ganey's statement.
Its position is that not only
did its top officers and board
of directors have no knowl
edge of the antitrust practices,
but that they were in specific
violation of a company direc
tive going back to 1946 order
ing compliance with such
laws.
GE has demoted, cut sal
aries and transferred the men
involved as having violated a
trust kept by its other 275,000
employees.
Engage Former President
The company has engaged
its former president, Charles
IC. Wilson, to confer with its
customers to settle cases in
which purchasers believe they
suffcrd financial loss in buy
ing electrical equipment.

News and Notes
From Camp White
By WALTER TOWNSEND
Friday, Feb. 24, will bring
the Volunteer Turnabout Par
ty at 8 p.m. in the station
theater. A message of welcome
has been issued by the mana
ger, which states:
"Recognition Day for volun
teer workers is the ceremon
ial occasion to pay tribute to
those organizations and indi
viduals who have served our
members so faithfully and loy
ally.
Our members all express
great gratitude for the
warmth and personal interest
you have shown in their wel
fare, that was manifested
throughout the year.
"For the staff and personnel
of this Domiciliary, I welcome
this oportunity to express our
grateful appreciation for your
outstanding services and con
tributions to our domiciled
veterans.
"Your efforts are deeply
appreciated."
An Annual Event
The Turnabout party for
the White City volunteers is
an annual event, a gesture of
appreciation and recognition
of the many fine things that
have been done by so many
good people for the disabled
veterans.
-The party will feature en
tertainment by the members,
but more important will be
annual award of certificates
of appreciation to those volun
teers who have given so un
stintedly of their time and de
voted services.
Henry C. Herzog,' Domicil
iary manager, will be intro
duced to the guests by Frank
J. Glonning, deputy chairman
VAVS advisory committee
Charles I. Gustafson, admini
strator of the Rogue Valley
hospital, will speak on the
voluntary service program.
With reference to the party,
Herzog paid tribute to the vol
unteer workers, and expressed
the appreciation of the staff
and members for the many
fine services rendered by the
volunteers as part of the
"Domiciliary Team."
Will Stress Help
At the Turnabout Party,
Herzog will stress the help
and cooperation which has
been so instrumental in estab
lishing the bond between dom
iciliary members and the com
munity. Also he will state that
the need for volunteer help
will increase with the advanc
ing age of . hospitalized and
disabled veterans.
As the percentage of aged
veterans increases, Herzog
said last week, more help is
needed in the interpretation
of planned living and other
programs in giving these vet
erans motivation to achieve
a feeling of being wanted and
a part of outside society.
Receiving a certificate of
recognition Friday night, will
be Polly Offut of the Ameri
can Legion, for 2,500 hours
she put in at White City, for
which she will receive the
Silver Emblem.
Many other volunteers will
receive outstanding ceremon
iaj recognition, . for the fine
work, they have done to
Driguien tne lives oi many
members at White City.
punished none of Its em
ployees involved, has taken
action to insure there will be
no repetition of price-fixing or
antitrust actions.
President Mark W. Cresap
Jr. announced establishment
of a new antitrust division in
Wcstinghouse.
"Under no circumstances
should any Westingliouse man
engage in any act that de
viates from our policy - even
though he may think that by
doing so he is assisting the
company in one way or anoth
er," Cresap said.
"Such a thought is nothing
but a delusion . . . any such
action is - and will be con
sidered to be - a deliberate act
of disloyalty to Westinghouse,
and it will be dealt with in the
future by appropriate disci
plinary action."
Judge Ganey, a quiet-spok
en man with white hair neatly
parted In the middle, says he
hopes the case will be a lesson
and deterrent in all American
industry.
Were 'Organization Men'
He sticks to his opinion that
the individuals were organi
zation men" who thought they
could advance their careers
and insure security in the
corporation by illicit practices
that brought their companies
undue profits if not directly
to themselves.
"This has been a very dis
tasteful case," he remarked.
"I'm glad it's behind me."
The question left in the
wake of the antitrust suits is
Whether the individuals' pun
ished took the brunt for their
companies.
Edwin Rome, attorney for
several of the GE defendants,
said his clients were "bitter"
about being castigated hy
their bosses.
But GE has taken an un
bending stand on the subject.
It denies its guilty employees
were "conformists" as Ganey
labelled them.
"Although we accept in a
constructive spirit justifiable
criticism in this antitrust situ
ation," GE said, "the asser
tions that it has been either
business policy or alleged con
formity to a supposed corpor
ate way of life ... is not based
on fact.
