PAGE SIX A AND P ACQUITTED ON TRUST CHARGES Indictments Against Food Chain For Alleged Sherman Act Violations Quashed. NEJW YORK, March 4. l ndictment of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. and its pro duce-buying affilitate, the At lantic Commission Co., for al leged violations of the Shprman anti-trust laws, collapsed during the past (week as the result of j two federal court' decisions. In Dallas, Texas, last Satur day, Judge W. H. Atwell sustain ed demurrers entered by both organizations, as well as other A' and P executives and subsidiar-1 ies, against Department of Jus tice indictments charging at tempts to fester a monopoly. Three days later in Wilson, Judge C. C. Wyche handed down a di rected verdict in favor of the Atlantic Commission Co. and, other defendants in a similar j Anti - Trust Division action i charging conspiracy to mono- 1 polize part of the potato market. ( This is the third time in a year that federal judges have thrown out of court indictments against A and P on the grounds there was insufficient evidence j to justify the cases going to the! jury. The previous case was a I directed verdict of not guilty in ■ a Washington, D. C., trial of A and P and other defendants i charged with fixing bread prices, j In the cast? of both directed ver- | diets, the prosecution did not present sufficient evidence to warrant the judge requiring A and P to present any defense.

I I Atwell took strong exception to the emphasis placed by the pro secution on the of the de fendants. \ “I must say at the outset that I 'know of no American rule, and I wish I had the power to under score the word ‘ American’, which permits us to try a man because of his size,” Judge At well said. ‘The law does not so diagram any offense of which I know. It merely says ‘any per son’ or ‘any contract made by any person’ big or little, and the size is wholly inconsequential. Commercial success or failure, greatness or inferiority, do not | I determine guilt or innocence. i “If I thought I was presiding ever a court and I might have to sentence some person be cause he was a Lilip.utian I I would feel like resigning. God I knows we don’t' want it ever to; occur in America that the size j is going to determine whether a man is guilty or innocent.” Judge Atwell pointed out that “all of the defendants save one live or have their domiciles re mote from Texas. The only on? who lives in Texas is holding an inferior position.” He further held that the indictment' con tained “Inflammatory state ments that the court would not permit to be given to a trial jury because they have no place j here.” At Wilson, in directing aver- j diet of innocence for the At’ | lantic Commission Co., The I Farmer’s Cooperanve Exchange, and 11 fertilizer and potato buying companies. Federal Jud ge C. C. Wyche said “vou can not make bricks without' sti aw and you can’t make a case with out fa:Ls.“ i Pointing out that the defend-1 ants had cooperated with the \ Department of Agriculture in its efforts to aid the farmer, the! judge ruled: “No testimony was j brought' from which it ccn be! reasonably inferred that the de- i fendants entered into a consp:ra- |l cy to depress and lower the i price of potatqrs. It is evident ! that the low prices were caused i by economic conditions.” In directing a verdict of not : gdilty in the Washington, D. C„ { '• bread case last March, Judge; Allan T. Goldsborough said: “Iff ! you were to show this record to any experienced trial lawyer in i the world, he would tell you, J that there was not any evidence ! at all. Honpstly, I have never in 1 all my 40 years experience seen a case tried that was as abso- j lutely devoid of evidence as' this.” ] Blue Mold Is Spreading Over Southern Georgia j » j Howard R. Garriss, Extension; plant pathologist at N. C. State! Cclelge, announces that Georgia! has a widespread development l ! of the year. He says that no one more than usual for this season! of the year. He sas that no one can predict how serious the trou-| ble will be in Ncrth Carolina butj urges all tobacco growers to be, on their guard and prepare now! for it’s control. Garriss suggests that growers anticipate their requirements in spray materials and paradichlor benzene for fumigation because these materials may be hard to get on short notice. Emergency! demands for all kinds of supplies | I are developing in connection ; with war needs and farmers should make definite commit ments for their materials used in controlling blue mold. I Supplies of the heavy muslin; cloth, suitable for gas treatment,' are described as “very critical”: and large scale demands for it , will probably be discouraged, j 'unless it can be shown that its! I neted is absolutely essential.! I Growers should carefully pre-[ serve all cloths which can be] used for fumigation ‘ and make! the best possible use of them. I According to Garriss, most of j the materials used for blue meld! control are present in normal; amounts but, as stated before,; they may be very hard to get on short notice, with a conseauentj damage to young tobacco plants' In this territory. igjl ' v ’'Hlf % ■!
