MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 13. 1962 C 9 Ruling Exempts Some Teachers Salem-HTO-The State Board of Education has decided to exempt certain persons from its new requirement that grade school teachers must have five years of college training before they can be certified. The exemption covers those who put in at least one year of teaching in the five years of holding a basic certificate. This means that only those who were granted a certifi cate and then did not teach for five years will have to take a fifth year of training before their certificate can be renewed. The policy is effective until altered by the board. The board also voted to ask the 1963 legislature to let the board set the salary of the state superintendent of public instruction. His salary now is set by statute.

Kennedy Gives His Views On Enforcement of Anti-Trust Laws (Editor's note: President either too tough or too soft Kennedy promised during his election campaign thai the anti-trust laws would be enforced vigo I o u s 1 y. He named hit brother. Robert F. Kennedy, as attorney general to do the job. In recent months Robert, hat been accused of going to two extremes - being either too harsh with big business or too lax in enforcement to try and temper business hostility toward the admin istration. Robert Kennedy tells how he feels about it in the following exclusive in terview with United Press International.) By WILLIAM J. EATON Washington -OIPD-Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy sharply denies that his enforcement of the anti-trust laws has been Survey Shows Women Listen To Baseball New York - lUM - A recent study by SONY corporation at Yankee stadium found 784 women listening to transistor radios during a baseball game.

BEARISH New York atPK The New York Stock Exchange reports that the number of persons signing up for its monthly in vestment plan has dropped "substantially" in the wake of the stock market decline. Last year an average of 175 new accounts came in daily. toward big business The President s brother has been under fire in financial circles and business publica tions on grounds the Depart ment of Justice has gone to harsh extremes to whip some segments of business into line. He and his chief trust-buster, Lee Loevinger, also have been accused of easing off on anti-trust prosecutions because of the national economy's sluggish behavior and to end some of the big business hos tility toward the administra tion. "We've done a good job. and we've done it with vigor," the 36-year-old Robert told UPI. "But I am sure there are improvements to be made and I hope in the next two years we'll do better." He shrugged off one charge of "extremely unsatisfactory performance." This was level led at him and Loevinger by a university professor who testified before the Senate House economic committee. Kennedy said most academ ic critics talked in generali ties but made no specific sug gestions. 'Quite Nebulous' As to complaints of drastic enforcement, the attorney general said they were "quite nebulous when examined, He was asked whether it was true that some anti-trust actions had been deferred be cause the business picture was below standard. "No case has been turned down because of it," he re plied. But he added that if a recession developed it might be a factor in determining whether to proceed in some cases. Kennedy told the American Bar association convention recently that anti-trust law was the "most technical and complicated field" under his supervision. He said it re quired "deep study" before suits could be filed. But it was his intention, he said, to protect the free enterprise system by insuring that com petition will prevail in the market place. A justice department offi cial said in this connection that there is a tendency to play down anti-trust actions. It was speculated that this if xl G TRUSTBUSTER Assistant Attorney General Lee Loev. inger, above, is Attorney Gen. eral Robert F. Kennedy's chief trustbuster. Kennedy and Loevinger have been ac cused of easing off on anti trust prosecutions because of the national economy's slug gish behavior. (UPI) stemmed from Kennedy's re-, action to charges made after i the President's steel price in-1 crease rollback last April that the administration is anti business. Convened Jury The attorney general con vened a federal grand jury during the steel price crisis to determine whether firms which raised prices $6 a ton had conspired beforehand or whether there was a tendency toward monopoly in the industry. All the evidence is not in and the study is continuing," Kennedy said. Other sources said the grand jury still was enmeshed in the industry's long-time pricing practices. Perhaps the biggest case brought during the Kennedy administration was indictment of General Motors corporation on charges of using illegal methods to capture 84 per cent of the nation's locomotive business for its electromotive division. The indictment, returned less than three months after the New Frontier came into office, obviously was prepared during former GOP Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers' tenure. GM has denied the charges. Robert A. Bicks, former anti-trust chief who brought the famous electrical industry conspiracy cases, was in office when a record-high 90 cases were filed in 1960. This com pared to 60 in 1961 and 73 during the fiscal year ending last June 30. Signs But Loevinger and his aides pointed to the following as signs of the Kennedy admin' istration's "vigorous" attitude: - The department for the first time sought to use the anti-trust laws to block or up set bank mergers. -Government lawyers set a precedent ,when they filed eight lawsuits claiming dam ages from the electrical com panies convicted of price-fixing. They also negotiated the highest settlement in anti trust history - $7.4 million -with General Electric co. -For the first time in his tory, a comprehensive report on identical bids submitted to federal, state and local gov ernment agencies has flashed "warning signals" of possible The ONLY store in Medford with EVERYDAY low prices!

'Pro-Business' Loevinger said these and other measures were "pro foundly pro - business" since they are pointed at preserv ing the competitive system. Two-thirds of the 1,200 com plaints received each year come from businessmen, he said. Liberal economists have contended the justice depart ment should break up giant firms in basic industries-auto, steel, chemicals - to prevent illegal concentrations of pow er. To this, Loevinger replied that size alone is not sufficient to trigger anti-trust action. He said there also must be a showing of tendency toward monopoly or substantial re straint of competition, before the laws can be invoked. In addition, he pointed to indict ments against U.S. Steel and Bethlehem Steel for alleged price-fixing for forgings and civil suits against Ford, Gen eral Motors and Chrysler on a variety of charges. Some observers believe anti-trust policing does not vary a great deal no matter who controls the White House. They say lengthy preparations required before the filing of suits and long trials and ap peals make it difficult for any administration to make a dis tinctive anti-trust impression in less than two or three years. If that is true, the cases to be brought during the re mainder of this year and in 1963 may provide a better gauge for assessing the Ken ncdy administration's record. VALUES! I t Landmark for VALUES!
