Supporters have dubbed it the . "Quality Stabilization Act." Foes Insist that is de ceptive labeling. They call it price-fixing." Chairman Oren Harris (D Ark.), chief sponsor of the bill, had no trouble steering the legislation through his House Commerce Comir.ittee last week despite opposition of Kennedy administration of ficials, the AFL-CIO and ma jor farm organizations, and witnesses who claimed to speak for the nation's consum ers and for its "senior citi zens." Pressure Intense The pressure for the bill's enactment is intense. It comes from a powerful and well-organized lobby that has "grass roots" planted firmly in cor ner drug stores in cities and towns throughout the coun try. Independent retail drug gists are spearheading the drive, which is supported by many jewelers and hardware and appliance dealers and re tailers of clothing and sport ing goods.

The bill would empower a manufacturer to set minimum prices throughout the coun try at which any of his pro ducts bearing a "name, brand or trademark" could be wholesaled or retailed. Any product from automo biles to toothpaste to canned soups could be covered with one exception. The bill does not cover those drugs which, by law, must be sold through a doctor's prescription. Would Continue Lure Should the bill become law, manufacturers would be under pressure from inde pendent retail outlets to use the authority to halt compet itive price - cutting. Then, anyone who sold below the minimum price could be bar red by court order from fu ture sales of that particular name-brand, or trademarked, merchandise. Assistant Atty. Gen.

Four to t Iverybedy Welcome Saturday JULY 6th I CO DREAMLAND BALLROOM Bobby Burton nd THE ROGUE VALLEY BOYS Featuring Dav Johnson Visit Our Snack Bar innncnnr Loevinger testified that the, successful attacks in state leg- history of this kind of retail price maintenance under state "fair trade laws" shows that it does not actually help small business. He argued that big stores would continue to lure customers by advertising pri vate brands at "sensationally" low prices. "Once attracted into the chain store by advertising," he said, "the patron knows that the prices on branded products are the same as those offered elsewhere. Con sequently, there is no induce ment ... to shop around. The result is that the chain stores and the big business retailers increase their market share of both branded and unbranded merchandise." The coverage of state "fair trade" laws which once ex tended through almost all of the country has receded to about 25 states as a result of Islatures and state courts That is why Congress is be ing asked to intervene with a nation-wide law. Covert Every Slat The bill approved by the committee would cover every state, but would allow states to gain exemption within their borders by enacting a state law to that effect. Although there., may be some foot-dragging, neither the House Rules Committee nor the Democratic leader ship is likely to block House action Indefinitely. Conse quently, foes concede House passage but hope the bill somehow can be bottled up in the Senate until the 88th Congress adjourns next year. Failing that, they will urge President Kennedy to brave the election year wrath of druggists and other retailers by vetoing it. to STAR GAXERVO 9-25.39.

CHURCHILL HOME London -I0TI1- Sir Winston Churchill, looking tired and pale, arrived home Thursday from a holiday In Monte Cavlo and a cruise among the Greek islands. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF IN CHARLES PRICE'S superb book, "The World of Golf," he tells of what must be the most casual player in the history of the sport. His name is J. Wood Piatt, and on the notoriously tough Pine ONE BIRDIC, AN EAGLE,, Valley course outside Philadelphia, he began one unbelievable round with a birdie on the first hole, an eagle on the sec ond, a hole in one on the third, and another birdie on the fourth. This left him six under par tor four holes a score prob ably never matched. What did Mr. Piatt do at this point? He decided he had played enough that day, handed his bag of clubs to his caddie, and went to the clubhouse for a game of bridge! A sedato couple In Indianapolis were upset when their carefully brought-up daughter enlisted in the Peace. Corps and was as signed a post in darkest Africa.
