Is Accused Of
Trade Restraints
MACON, June 26.—(AP)—The
Atlantic Company, two of its offi
cers and four affiliated firms vio
lated the Sherman Act by re
straining trade in the southeast
ern ice industry, U. 8. District
Judge T. Hoyt Davis ruled yes
terday,
The ruling decided civil cases
against the company in favor of
the federal government and en
joined the firms and their offi
cials fromy numerous practices
which Judge Davis held were in
violation of the law.
In November, 1950, the defend
ant companies were tried on
criminal charges similar to those
involved in the civil eases on
which Judge Davis ruled. A jury
acquitted the defendants of the
iminal charges.
The elvil §tits were filed by the
governmient at the same time the
criminal indictment was returned
in 1950.
Co-Defendants
Named with the Atlantic Com
pany as defendants were the City
loe Company of Columbia, S. C.;
the City Ice Delivery Company of
Charlotte, N. C.; Ice Service Com~
pany of St. Petersburg, Fla.; Sou
thern United Ice . Company of
Jackson, Miss.; Fred W. Beasley,
chairman of the board of the At
lantic Company, and Clinton D.
Castleberry, president of the At
lantic Company. Beasley and Cas
tleberry are residents of Atlanta.
The government dismissed civil
action agairst two of the defend
ants which were acquitted in the
criminal cases. They were the
Chattanooga Ice Delivery Com
pany, Chattanooga, Tenn., and the
Orlando Ice Delivery Company,
Orlando, Fla.
In his ruling, Judge Davis said
the defendants had entered into
acreementg with each other and
th their ‘commpetitors to allocate
territory and customers. The jur
ist declared these agreements af
fected competition for sale to
local consumers and to express
companies.
Fixed Prices
He said the defendants also en
tered into amgreements with each
other and with competitors to fix
prices and prorate markets by
pooling all ~ ice produced in an
arca for sale through delivery
companies controlled by compet=
ng companies.

No Indications
Of Truman Plans
WASHINGTON, June 26.—(AP)
—The steel strike was considered
certain today to continue at least
another week even if President
Truman bowed to the will of
Congress and asked a court sy, " or
der the men back to wor'o 3% -
There was no firm @.‘@? Jlon,
‘however, how the Py & would
react to yesterday'~e% & request
—paralleling a r‘," one from
the Senate—th- A se the Taft-
Hartley Labe ‘;h to end the
crippling, 2 ,”o.’ strike,
The walke of about 600,000
CIO steelworkers has alteady cost
more than six million tons of
steel,
- Weekly Conference
The President had a chance to
tip his hand at his weekly news
conference todey. His last public
comment on Taft-Hartley was a
curt remark that Congress has no
power to force its use. He also
said, however, the use of the law
always has been under considera
tion.
The law calls for a board of
inquiry, appointed by the Presi
dent, to leok into the issues in
volved in a dispute and make a
report to the White House. Not
until that has happened—and cus
tomarily it takes at least a week—
can the President ask a court to
issue an order banning continua
tion of the strike for 80 days.
The steelworkers union, it was
learned, is considering an attack
on the steel industry through the
same Taft-Hartley Law. |
Unfair Practice
The act makes i# an unfair la
bor practlce not to bargain col
lectively.
Stickiest obstacle to settlement
of the dispute, which started last
November, was a union demand
for the union shop, under which
all employes could be compelled
to join the union.
Beyond a statement by Rep.
Halleck (R.-Ind.), yesterday that
the strike would be settled with
in a week, there was no apparent
indication of any union shop com
promise,
Nation Swelters
On Hottest Day
By The Assocaited Press
June’s blazing heat kept up its
relentless siege over wide areas
in the Eastern half of the nation
today.
Wednesday was the summer
season’s hottest day in hundreds
of cities in the heat-stricken reg
ion. Tempsaratures soared into the
90s and above 100 in the East,
the South and the Midwest. Rec~
ords for the date were broken in
scores of cities.
No immediate, widespread relief
appeared in sight. However, some
of the cooler air which covered
the Northern Plains states was
headed into the North Central
states. There was a promrse of
some cooling by Friday. No such
relief was forecast for Eastern and
Southern hot spots.
Hot dry weather threatened
crops in some Southern states,
including Virginia and Arkansas.
Deaths from heat were reported in
several cities. Hundreds suffered
heat prostrations,
LOCAL OUTLOOK
What's in store for Athens? Well
—if you know where you can get
a big cake of ice cheap, you'd
better make the investment. The
weather pureau representative
tells us that there is no relief in
sight for sweltering John Q. Pub
lie. The broken record continues
on that one tune, “fair and con
tinued hot.”
Seeking desperately for even &
faint - hope, the Banner-Herald
coaxed the bureau into admitting
that there is a cool wind shifting
around somewhere in the vicinity
of the Great Lakes region, Chan
ces are very much against the
Classic City getting even a small
snifter of tnat breeze. Rain? Not
on your life, says the bureau.
T'ain’t a cloud in the sky.
So, we all might just as well
face it and suffer—'cause like the
song goes—— ‘We're having a heat
wave!” But who feels like singing?

InNew Funds Asked For Armed Forces
Senate May Lift
Defense Ceiling
Set By House
WASHINGTON June 26 (AP)—
The 46-billion-dollar ceiling built
by the House over military spend
ing looks as if it may be torn down

orized $46,200,000,000.
Smith Rider
But the rider, sponsored by Rep.

spend only a total of 46 billion dol
lars from this amount plus funds
carried over from .past appropria
tions.
Chairman O'Mahoney (D-Wyo)
said the Senate group agreed with
the administration’s contention
that the amendment would mean
reneging on past appropriations.
Secretary of the Air Force Fin
letter cited the spending ceiling as
one factor slowing down the air
buildup. Finletter testified last
night before a House Expenditures
subcommittee.
He told the group the House
Appropriations Committee had cut
560 million from proposed new air
craft procurement, wnich is in ad
aition to the regular air forecc
budget.

The committee was to announce.
its action on this and other special
appr%priations later today. The

than $1,700,000,000 in addition to
its regular budget, which totalled
$20,752,412,912 when the House
fl:fi it in April. The
‘Senate still: to act on the.de
fense budget.
Finletter said even before the
560-million-dollar cut the Air
Force Had trimmed its budget
“right down to the last airplane.”
He went on to say:
“If war comes, the i ents
the Air Force will recegve will
entail very heavy losses.”

than the $3,191,000,000 requested.
