Interlocking Trade The close-knit relationship be- tween the four firms has been fur- ther strengthened by trade coven- ants which - dis¢riminated against outside companies’ competing for business with any of the four, FTC records show. For instance, since 1917, Du Pont has purchased prac- tically all its cars and trucks from General Motors, In return, G. M. purchases most of its fabrics, paints varnishes and lacquers from Du Pont. The FTC report also reveals that all four companies—Du Pont, G.M, U. S. Rubber and Libbey-Owens Ford—have first call on each other’s products under secret trade coven- ants. Government In Business The staid old National Republican Club of New York was thrown into an uproar recently over a resol- ution on Party policy. At the request of GOP National Chairman Guy Gabrielson, the members of the Silk-Stockipg Club assembled to write a resolution of- fered by Cornelius Wickersham, Jr. It read: “Resolved, that the United States Government should not in any way compete with private industr: This was greeted with llllh\lfi-l jasm and applause—until Hun\ Van Veen, a comparatively young man in this council of elders, boun- ced up and asked: “Does that mean the Government must get out of housing, and out of TVA? Does that mean Rural Electrification must be abandoned?” There was an ng shout of “Yes,” followed storm of debate. But when the votes were counted Wickersham's resolution against government in business was defeat- ed. The Last Prayer It was a cold and dreary day. An elderly, white-haired man in clerical garb walked slowly up the stone steps on the House side of the Capitol | Within the door, he stopped and looked longingly before him. In a Jow, impassioned voice, he said, “Phis is the ladt time. This is the last time.” It was the Rev. James Shera Montgomery, arriving for his {inal day as Chaplain of the House of Reprsentatives. Eighty-seven years cld, he been coming up to Congress give the opening prayer almost ery day for 29 years. Now he seem- ed forlorn and lonely. Standing nearby a stranger tried to cheer him up: “Why, Doctor,” npot the last time. j Jast time you have to me. The old man brightened. 'Than}:‘ had to “this is t the he said, It's s | The 'of the United States. Each was in you, son. I know it won't be the last time.” Straightening his shoulders, Rev. Montgomery walked resolutely to the elevator and gave his last) prayer as Chaplain of the House. | g | Newsman Turns Tables Reporter Bob Byrnes of the Hart- ford, Conn., Courant, was attend- ing a recent press conference with Atopate-En Commissioner Sum- ner Pike. On question after ques- tion, Pike had refused comment. Finally he said a few words on Atomic reactors, and wound up 1sking Byrnes: “That's what you wouldn’t you?” “I am s Commissioner,” Byrn- es shot back, paraphrasing Pike, ‘but I can't answer that ques- ion.” would do, Oleo Humor It was the good humor of a Mis souri dirt farmer which helped to put the Oleo Bill through the Senate, O.
