GOVERNMENT WIN INPOTTERY SUIT U. S. Supreme Court Sustains Prosecution of Companies Under Anti-Trust Law. By the Associated Press The Government won In the United States Supreme Court today in its prosecution of the Trenton and 22 other pottery comtpanies under the Sherman anti-trust law. 3 The opinion was approved 5 to 3 Justices Van Devanter, Sutherland and Butler dissenting. Tnstice Brandeis took no part in the case The decision upheld the finding of the Distriet Court in New Vork, which found 20 individuals corporations guilty of violating statute. A Court of Appeals decision, which held the verdict was invalid, was thrown out by the highest court Rule of Reason” Invoked. The “rule of reason” as applied the Supreme Court in the Standard Ofl and Tobacco cases was again argued before that tribunal the government in appealing the Trenton potteries case. The Trenton and other pottery com panies, representing more than 80 per cent of the entire trade in sanitary ottery ware and fixtures. clted on the charge of ha e upon fixed uniform prices. In the Fed eral District Court in New York City, 20 individuals and 23 corporation were convicted, and jail sentences were fmposed in most instances. The Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, and the government took the case to the Supreme Court The Government contended that the controversy presented issues of vital fmportance in the enforcement of the antitrust laws, while the potteries companies urged the court to dismi the appeal as presenting unsubstan tial questions, needing no further argument. Government Emphasizes Point. The Government emphasized the ap plication of the ‘“rule of reason” by the Circuit Court as the outstanding question, asserting that it was prin- cipally upon that ground that the trial court had been reversed. It as- serted that the Circuit Court had com mitted error when it held that the trial judge should have charged the jury that under the Sherman act only “unreasonable” prices were pro- hibited. It insisted that any fixing the of prices by a combination of com.| S petitors vonstituted unreasonable re- straint of trade and was {llezal The well known “rule of reason’ laid down by the Supreme Court in the Standard Ol and tobacco cases was never intended to be construed, it argued, as meaning that 80 per cent of the producers in a given industry could of their own motion and by &greement fix prices and then defend their action on the ground that the prices fixed were reasonable. The potteries companies minimized | the “rule of reason" grounds for the appeal. They declared the ruling of the Circuit Court was based prin- cipally on questions relating to the admission of evidence, and that the Circuit Court was so plainly right that there was no substantial question for the Supreme Court to pass upon. . “UNDERCOVER” DRY SYSTEM DEBATED $500,000 Bill for Prohibition Agents Leads to Hot Com- mittee Disscussion. By the Associated Press. The undercover system of prohibi- tlon enforcement was attacked as a “vicious menace” and defended as a vital necessity before a House ways and means subcommittee which toda; opened hearings on the Summers bill to make $500,000 available for Treas- ury secret operatives. Assistant Secretary Andrews pleaded for authority to use the fund," which was stricken from the next year's ap- propriation bill on a point of order in | the House by Representative La Guardia, Republican, New York, who opposed the measure today. La Guardia replied that “in New York City the system has become a supergovernment, which through its espionage has completely checkmated | officials.” He reiterated his charge that the Le Shone De Paris, Inc., of New York was a Government-fostered corporation set up to uncover violators and had distributed alcohol for bever. @ge purposes, with the two agents in charge pocketing most of the profits from liquor sales, Kills Bald Eagle With Stone, Epecial Dispatch to The Star.

Larre-Borges, the Uruguayan aviator, on his flight to uth America yesterday fanned to fever heat the already intense interest of Ttalians of all classes in the prog- ress of Comdr. De Pinedo, but the | throngs which besieged the newspaper | offices_watching for bulletins from | Porto Praya met only with disappoint- ment. No word was received all day long from Santiago Island of the Cape Verde group. whence the Italian ace hopes to hop off for Natal, Brazil, while the air ministry maintained com- | plete silence. New Orders May Be Cause. | __As all three members of the Santa Maria’s crew are known to be in ex- cellent condition, and the machine in perfect shape, the absence of definite news. it is feared, may mean circum- stances similar to those which foiled De Pinedo at Boloma. The aeronautical authorities dis- courage any tendency to regard the | conieidence of the Larre-Borges and De Pinedo flights as a race, pointing out that the intentions of the two flyers are not_at_all identical. Even if Comdr. De Pinedo were forced to re- main at Porto Praya or some nearby place for a week, either through bad atmospheric _conditions or difficulty in taking off, it is asserted that the suc- cess or failure of his enterprise still must be judged only after completion of the entire four-continent flight. i Had Many Difficulties. ! Tt is recalled that the Neapolitan fiver had many difficulties retarding his progress on the outward flight of ! his long air voyage last vear, but he more than made up the loss upon the return flight. The Italian press is | completely confident that De Pinedo’s courage And ability will overcome all | difficulties. } The official “order sheet” of the l‘]‘:wr‘ls! party sums up the comment thus: “The Ttalian people follow with deep | feeling the hero, who, across conti- | nents and seas, carries’ the name and spirit of the revivified Italian nation —the youthful force and tireless will ‘(»_{ Fascist generations.

Col. U, 8. | vant, drd, Maj. E. Brooke Lee, State Lansdale G scer “"di others spoke. Prof. K. J. Morris, principal of the high school here, offered the motion of indorsement. Col. Grant is chair- man of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. Maj. Carey Brown and J. C. Nichols, members of the commission, were among the speakers. Maj. Lee, who is Speaker of the lower branch of the Maryland legislature, indicated, as did members of the Prince Georges County delega- tion, that they favored the legislation. Time Seen for Action. Tt was pointed out that the time is hand for orderly development of the suburhan areas of Washington such as laving out houlevards, parks | ind otherwise providing for expansion It was predicted that the population of suburban Prince Georges and Mont zomery Counties would increase enor mously within the next quarter cen tury. and that doubtless the communi- < County would in that time, be combined into one large city. It was stated that many mistakes were made in the planning of Washington, but that it was too late now to correct the conditions. How- ever, it was asserted, opportunity still existed to avoid these mistakes in the sections hordering the District Tax Levy Provisions. Maj. Lee referred to the fact that while levying of a flat tax rate of 3 cents in each of the two counties is vided for maintenance of the com- sion, the commission is given au- v 'to direct the county commis- of Montgomery County to levy ax of 7 cents on the $100 of property in the park and planning dis trict, although the commissioners of Prince Georges County are simply re- quested to levy a similar tax in the area. The park and planning district includes, roughly, those sections of Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties embraced within the Wash- ington suburban sanitary district. Maj. Lee declared that if sufficient foresight had been exercised years | before in planning streets leading from the District of Columbia, the present unsightly condition in Prince Georges County just over the District line at Mount Rainier would not exist, but that Rhode Island avenue would have been extended into Maryland at the width existing in the District.

SEAT PLEASANT, Md., February 21.—At a mass meeting, called by the Seat Pleasant Volunteer Fire and Com- munity Welfare Association, Inc., at the District Line School, a proposition to incorporate the community of Seat Pleasant was voted down, 51 to 41. Taxation incident to incorporation is believed to have been the chief factor influencing rejection of the idea. It is understood that Maryland Park and Fairmount Heights, the latter made up largely of colored residents, and lying adjacent to the District of Columbia line at Chesapeake Junc tion, will petition the Legislature now in session to enact laws which would permit citizens of these communities to vote on the question of whether they wish to have incorporated town: | the | ment’s TAR, WASHINGTON, I'wo Stowaways Die Of Coal Gas in Hold of Steamer By the Associated Press.
