A &.P FILES FORMAL \ ALL ANTI-TRUST C New York, April 11.?The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company has flatly denied Government Anti-trust charges in U. S. district court and has termed the civil suit against it an effort to change the nation's "entire economic structure". In its first formal answer to the complaint seeking dissolution of the 90-year-old food chain, A&P said there "is no justification in fact or in law for the drastic and conuscaiory destruction 01 tne company. A&P denied in detail the charges of restraint of trade and monopoly brought under the Sherman Act. Defendants John A. Hartford, Chairman of the Board, George L. Hartford, treasurer, and the A&P asked through counsel that the complaint be dismissed. The answer was filed by the New York law firm of Cahill, Gordon, Zachry and Reindel. "The plaintiff," A&P contended, "is asking this court to adopt, by Judicial Fiat, new and extremist principles of law which would result in a complete remodeling of the entire economic structure of this country." A&P termed its expansion a "natural growth," which came almost entirely from within the company and not by mergers or by buying out competing companies. The answer said that A&P "has Birth Announced Major and Mrs. William S.

The effect of the company's activities "has not been to restrain trade or to prevent competition," the answer continued. "On the contrary, its competition has greatly promoted trade and increased competition." Thus dissolution of the company, A&P said, "would result in a decrease rather than an increase in competition." The food chain contended a decree of dissolution is entirely unwarranted because? "1. A&P is not a monopoly or otherwise illegal in itself. "2. There is no clear, willful, serious and continued violation of the anti-trust laws. "3. Relief, if any were necessary, could be obtained through! other means. "4. The public interest will be harmed and not served thereby and competition would not be increased but diminished". Discussing the case from the standpoint of the public's interest, the company said "destruction of the A&P organization, far from benefiting the public, would render irreparable injury to it." 19, in Riverside hospital.

ADVERTISING THAT ! THE SYLVI Phone FLrVA HERALD AND RUH, IMPORTANT CHANGE MADE IN STATE BUILDING CODE Sherwood Brockwell, Deputy Commissioner of Insurance and State Fire Marshal, upon advices and recommendations of the North Carolina Building Code Council, announced today in Raleigh that the Commissiotner of Insurance will now accept the use of cavity brick walls under several conditions as complying with the North Carolina Building Code. This method of construction which employs two thin walls of brick with an air space between, tied together with special metal ties, has heretofore been acceptable only for residential and other construction not directly governed by the Code, said Mr. Brockwell. Now it may be used with certain limitations on Public, Institutional, Business and Storage buildings. The new change was recommended some weeks ago to the Commissioner of Insurance by the Building C6de Council, of which Walter W. Hook, Charlotte architect, was Chairman; Ross Schumaker, State College professor, Vice Chairman; and Robert H. Pinnix, Gastania contractor, Secretary. The Council was established by the State Legislature for the express purpose of keeping the provisions of the Code I pliable and to consider new methods involving new developments in the construction field. Do You Want To Cut Your Federal Taxes? RoadToThePoorhouse America's most popular toy this year is called the "crasher truck." It is a mechanical gadget which falls apart when it hits anything. Faced with expenses that may hit $52 billion dollars during 11150, our government could fall apart like the crasher truck unless vow as a citizen, apply the hrake. Three years ag*. . Congress created a bi-partisan, twelve-man Commission to study the waste and duplication of effort in the agencies and bureaus in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. This Commission, approved by President Truman and beaded by former President Hoover, has turned in a report which would cut our tax bill three to four billion dollars annually- if the recommendations are enacted into law. This means that it would save you one dollars out of every ten you pay in taxes. Whether you realize it or not, every family in the United States pays yearly, on the average, in direct and hidden taxes, more than $1,000.00 each to support the Federal Government alone. Congress has already authorized $15,000,006,000 for construction of major projects, and another $80,000,000,000 authorization is planned. The Commisgon has recommended, (1) Creation of an impartial Board of Analysis for engineering and architectural projects, (2) Long-range planning of projects to meet the ebb and flow of economic cycles, and (3) Coordination of all public works. Such prudence might well save the nation from collapse. If you think this march down the | road to the poorhouse should he halted, wire your Congressman.
