It calls for the appointment of a bi-partisan national commission to examine and study the anti-trust laws and recommend their sensible amendment and revision. Alaska President Vice-President per month; It appears to be one of the new basically for- ward-looking bills to go into the Congressional hopper 374 in some time. . . . Alaska has had first hand experience with anti- trust suits when the Justice Department hopped fiull straddle on several Alaskan firms causing them costly sessions in court and gaining nothing. The bill is by Senator Wayne Morris of Oregon and calls for the appointment of a 12-man commis- sion, four by the President, four by the president of the Senate and four by the speaker of the House of Representatives. Of each class of appointees not more than one member may be from each of the two major political parties, thus the study cannot be influenced by political one-sidedness as it will- be evenly dividing as to Republican and Democrat. . . - . The measure to revamp the anti-trust laws is the dream come true of a San Francisco corporation lawyer, Phillip S. Ehrlich who has long championed the rights of American business. He has seen the growing trend of the federal courts and the ad- ministrative agencies of the government assume more WHAT ABOUT THE TAXPAYERS DEFICIT?

But it has long been known that they need overhauling lest more harm come from them than they do good. with deductions .

Jess Larson, head of the General Services Administration (GSA) said {last night that he and Theron ! caudle, Assistant U. S.

Larson denied, however, that three other men — one a gambler and another with an arrest record in Pitsburgh — were in on the venture. The probe into the outside activ- ities of collectors of internal reve- nue spread to the Department of Justice yesterday when Caudle was called into a closed-door meeting of the investigating House Ways and Means subcommittee.
