Trade commission barks
at makers of dog food
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Federal Trade Commission
(FC) said today the dog food
industry is threatened with
domination by a handful of
manufacturers, and it proposed
legal action to force one big
company to sell one of its
subsidiaries.
The agency issued a notice of
intention to file a complaint
against Liggett & Myers Inc.,

the tobacco company that got
into the dog food business in
1964 by buying Allen Products
Co., makers of “Alpo” brand
dog food. The draft complaint
seeks to force L&M to divest
itself of Perk Foods Inc.,
makers of “Vets” and “Perk”
dog food, which L&M acquired
in 1969.

food industry,” which rang up
total sales of $682.5 million in
1969, the FTC said. “Between
the years 1964 and 1970 there
were at least 19 mergers in this
industry. L&M has been a
leading participant in the dog
food merger movement.”
The FTC also noted that L&M
owns a manufacturer of dog
“treats,” Liv-A-Snaps, Inc.,
although it proposed no action
involving that firm.
The industry is so concen
trated, the agency added, that
in 1969 the four largest dog food
makers accounted for about 61
per cent of all sales, and the
eight largest did about 80 per
cent of all the business.
L&M’s purchase of Perk
made the company the second
largest maker of dog food,
accounting for about 16 per
cent of total dog food sales in
1969, the complaint said. The
result, it added, was that actual
and potential competition was
eliminated; L&M may have
won a decisive competitive
advantage in the industry, to
the detriment of competition;
and new firms frying to enter
the market may be frozen out.
In addition to ordering L&M
to divest Perk, the complaint
seeks a 10-year ban on any
other dog food industry acquisi
tions by the company.
Our Children
Two-year-old sets
day’s mood
By DR. WILLARD
ABRAHAM
Copley News Service
Q. Our two-year-old gets
into bed with us every morn
ing, and frankly we love it!
He’s warm, cuddly, playful
and happy, providing a great
way to start the day. But what
happens later — when he’s
five, or ten, or even older?
Maybe I’m just talking it into
myself that we’d better stop
right now. What do you think?
A. You’re anticipating a
problem that will no doubt
never occur. Why not enjoy
your youngster, and let time
take care of the situation?
Toys, books, and just getting
older will detract him from
your bed soon enough.
Now that I’ve said that,
there will be others who have
learned from their own sad
experience that some kids
don’t get turned off so easily.
Their children’s dependency
has continued far beyond the
two year level. But they’re the
exception. So have a good
time — there are too few of us
who get up in a good mood, so
why not cherish that feeling
as long as you can?
Q. The local newspaper is
running a sex column that I
think goes too far for a family
paper. It is much too graphic
in its discussion of topics that
don’t seem quite proper for
pre-adolescent youngsters.
The information provided is
no doubt accurate and the
writer appears to be qualified,
but I don’t know how to handle
this situation with my own
Freed POWs
Two officers face
misconduct charges
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Two
top-ranking officers, each held
for more than four years in a
North Vietnamese prison camp,
face misconduct charges
brought by a fellow officer,
according to Pentagon sources.
The charges, according to the
sources, have been mailed to
Navy Secretary John Warner
by Rear Adm. James V.
Stockdale from his Coronado,
Calif, home.
It was the first time that
charges have been filed against
officers who were war captives.
Eight enlisted men—five from
the Army and three from the
Marine Corps—were accused of
misconduct May 29 by Air
Force Col. Theodore Guy, also
a released POW.
Stockdale, 49, leveled his
charges against Marine Lt. Col.
Edison Wainwright Miller, 41,
of Tustin, Calif., and Navy
Capt. Walter E. Wilber, 43, of
Columbia Cross Roads, Pa., the
sources said. The correspond
ence from Stockdale was
expected to arrive soon.
“Until we actually receive
the material Stockdale mailed,”
one source said Friday, “we
won’t know what his charges
children. I’m sure they read
it, so I can hardly ignore the
issue. What do you suggest?
A. Children (and many
adults too) approach many
topics on their own level of
maturity or knowledge,
whether we’re talking about
sex, religion, politics or other
controversial subjects. If the
meanings are obscure or
complicated, they probably
even tune them out most of
the time.
Whether and how you dis
cuss with your children the
topics covered in this column
depends on what you’ve done
so far in your family related
to the sex education issue.
You can begin, or continue as
you’ve been going, or take
hints from the column on
areas to discuss.
There are two other things
you can do — find out what
they’re doing in school for
your children related to sex
education, and register your
feelings with the editor of
your newspaper.
Something new
ROVIGO, Italy (UPI) - The
Po, Italy’s longest river and
rich in history and myth, had
something new in it today—a
40-day-old American crocodile.
Police said the baby crocodi
le, named Jao, escaped from a
circus on the bank of the Po
and vanished into the river.
They said Jao is only 20 inches
long now but could grow to 20
feet as time goes by and pose a
danger to swimmers.
Board gives
ROTC tips
on recruiting
FT. BENNING, Ga. (UPI)—
The Army was advised by a
civilian advisory group Friday
to stress the opportunities in
ROTC for women and ethnic
minorities to offset a predicted
shortage of college - trained of
ficers.
Lee S. Dreyfus, chairman of
the U. S. Army Advisory Panel
and chancellor of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin - Stephens
Point said the ROTC’s recruit
ment had suffered in recent
years because “it was fashion
able for many high school and
college counselors to talk down
ROTC instead of recognizing its
tremendous financial and lead
ership opportunities.”
Current college enrollment
trends, Dreyfus said indicate
that within two years there
would be a “lack of enough
young men preparing to serve
their country on a reserve ba
sis.”
One other recommendation
the 12 member panel made at
the conclusion of its semi
annual meeting here was to
create a reserve pool, by the
ROTC producing more com
missioned officers than needed
for active duty.
are and whether they are in
legally acceptable form.”
Wilber and Miller both are
career officers and pilots.
Miller, who spent five years as
a POW, has 24 years in the
service. Wilber, a POW for
years, has been in uniform 25
years, the first three years as
an enlisted man. The pair and
Stockdale were held in the so
called “Hanoi Hilton” prison
camp.
In San Diego, Stockdale
refused to talk about the action.
Navy officials said it would be
improper for Stockdale to
comment on the charges until
the accused were informed of
them.
The filing of charges does not
automatically mean the officers
will be court-martialed. As with
the eight enlisted POWs char
ged, the cases now go through
the military equivalent of a
grand jury, and the charges
could be dropped.
Wilber and Miller both held
antiwar views in prison and
Wilber has acknowledged mak
ing antiwar statements to the
North Vietnamese without
being tortured. On the flight
that brought them out of Hanoi,
the pair were reportedly
snubbed by their fellow POWs.
The Pentagon has repeatedly
said it would not charge POWs
for any statements made in
prison, but it could not forbid
any other POW from filing
charges.

Business expositions
for conventions studied
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Both
major political parties ex
pressed interest in a plan to
raise $l.B million by allowing
corporations to set up business,
“expositions” at the 1972
presidential conventions in
Miami Beach, Fla., according
to the Connecticut businessman
who dreamed up the idea.
Walter L. Scott, who heads
the Financial Marketing Ser
vices Co., Stamford, Conn., and
the Columbia Exposition Co.,
New York, told UPI Friday he
approached both the Republi
cans and Democrats, proposing
to sell 360 booths to corpora
tions for $5,000 each.
Under the agreement, which
was designed to circumvent
federal laws barring corpora
tions from contributing directly
to political campaigns, the two
parties would have shared $1
million, Scott would have
received $400,000 and expenses
would have amounted to
$400,000.
Sworn Testimony Given .
In other developments:
—Gary W. Hart, campaign
director for Democratic presi
dential nominee Goerge S.
McGovern, has given sworn
testimony that the Democrats
were victims of numerous cases
of alleged political espionage.
Hart made the charges in a
pre-trial deposition in the
Democrats’ $6.4 million damage
suit against the Committee to
Re-elect the President growing
out of the Watergate bugging.
Among the cases of alleged
political espionage, Hart cited
hoax calls to AFL-CIO Presi
dent George Meany and CBS
newsman Walter Cronkite in
the name of McGovern staffers.
—Chairman Lucien Nedzi, D-
Mich., said his House intelli
gence subcommittee was seek
ing a closed-door appearance
next week by Watergate con
spirator E. Howard Hunt, who
is serving a jail term in
Danbury, Conn. Nedzi said he
wants to quiz Hunt on his
knowledge of an alleged plot to
blame the CIA for the
Watergate break-in and bug
ging.

for four hours Friday with
another convicted Watergate
conspirator, James W. McCord.
Nedzi said McCord repeated the
story he gave in open session to
the Senate Watergate Commit
tee.
—Special Watergate Prosecu
tor Archibald N. Cox has been
given clearance by attorneys
for Common Cause, the Citi
zens’ lobby, and President
Nixon’s re-election committee
to inspect the committee’s
court-sealed finance records.
The records were put under the
seal of Judge Joseph C. Waddy
to be used in a federal court
case in which Common Cause
has charged the campaign
committee with violating feder
al law in raising funds.
—The New York Times
reported today that Assistant
Attorney General Henry Peters
en urged Nixon to suspend his
two top aides, H. R. Haldeman
and John D. Ehrlichman, on
April 15—two weeks before the
two resigned from their White
House posts. Petersen made
that recommendation because
federal prosecutors had uncov
ered evidence indicating the
two had led the Watergate
cover-up, the Times said.
Question Arises
—Attorney General Elliot L.
Richardson told a news confer
ence in Chicago the question of
whether the President could
legally be summoned to testify
before a federal grand jury
about Watergate can be argued
“both ways.” He said, however,
“there are certain strong
constitutional concerns that
point to the conclusion that he
could not be.”
—The Washington Star-News
quoted Senate sources as
saying the White House submit
ted questions to the Senate
Committee to ask ousted White
House counsel John E. Dean
111, along with a description of
conversations that Dean had
with Nixon. The newspaper
quoted one committee source as
saying, “There’s nothing new in
them.”
Scott said he canceled plans
for the convention business
expositions when investigators
of International Telephone and
Telegraph’s (ITT) alleged offer
of $400,000 for the Republican
National Convention led him to
believe he would get similar
adverse publicity.
Scott Responds to Charges
Scott was responding to
“kickback” charges by Jeb
Stuart Magruder, the former
deputy director of Nixon’s re-
election committee.
Magruder told the Senate
Watergate Committee last
week: “We had information
from reliable sources at the
Democratic National Conven
tion that they had a business
exposition (that) was being put
on by a separate business
exposition company. It was our
understanding that the fee the
business concern paid to this
business company was then
kicked back or partially kicked
back to the Democratic Nation
al Committee to assist them in
the payment of their debts.”
Scott declined to say which
corporations responded favora
bly. But he said both parties
were receptive, and that he
actually signed the Democrats.
Dick Murphy, who was
Democratic Convention mana
ger, denied that the Democrats
had accepted the proposal. “He
wanted exhibit space in the
convention hall itself,” Murphy
said of Scott,” but we told him
that was impossible.”
