A major engagement over the issue | of price fixing will be fought out soon before the Federal Trade Com- mission. Ostensibly, the dispute involves only the comparatively small interests of three rubber companies. but de- velopments seem likely to transform it into another celebrated industrial cdse. which would basically affect the N. R. A’s price control powers. Sev- eral code authorities today planned to jump into the case. The rubber code authorities accused the three concerns of violating the code by refusing to file & list of prices with the authority. The firms are the Phillips-Baker Rubber Co. of Provi- dence, R. *.: La Crosse Rubber Mills, La Crosse. Wis., and Goodyear Rub- ber Co. (not Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.), of Middletown, Conn. To Fix Industry’s Rights. An object of the battle is to defer- | mine industry's rights to fix or to re- use to fix prices. The complaint charges that the three companies diverted trade to! themselves, to the injury of their | competitors and the public. on the basis that they sold goods at less than listed price. The issue assumes importance in | that large sections of industry look upon price filing, generally known as open prices, as essential to stability. In this case there is also what is { known as a “waiting period”; that is, prices filed may not become effective before a certain date.

Dr. Brown revealed, his method of brain study has been de- voted to the subject of the neuml} bases of various emotional responses, but he suggested it should prove serv- iceable in solving other anatomical and physiological problems in which a small controlled elimination of | function is desired. ‘The mechanical injury to brain cells is exceptionally slight, he said. ‘The frequency used is about 5,000.. 000 cycles. well above the range of ordinary eleétrical stimulation and v high enough to pass directly through tissue cells.

Opponents argue that it simply gives dominating concerns a chance to force others into line if the latter have prices considered too low. Failure to file prices, many contend, gives the non-filing concern an ad- vantage because it can change prices easily without informing competitors. Many Hope to File Briefs. Since a large section of all industry regards open price filing as a major contribution of the N R. A. to indus- trial stability, several code authorities hope to get permission from the com- mission to intervene and present ard guments, The N. R. A. itself recently issued a price policy in which methods of price control were considerably weakened. An open price plan with a waiting period was forbidden in new codes. The N.
