EXPERTS DIFFER
ON TRUST LAW
REVISION VALUE
G. E. Chief Urges Removal
of Criminal Penalties
for Violation.
By Scripps-Ifotcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Oct, 30.—1f the
anti-trust laws should be repealed
or amended this winter, just what
would happen?
Wide differences of opinion on
this question have been expressed
during the senate hearings on the
Lafollette national economic coun
cil bill, with two economists, a
business man, and a senator debat
ing it.
Gerard Swope, president of Gen
eral Electric Company, strongly
advocated modification of the laws,
removing criminal penalties from
them and providing only for a
“cease and desist order” being is
sued against any parties found
guilty under them. He also favored
a plan by which corporations con
templating a merger might obtain
an advance verdict from the
government as to whether the com
bination would operate in restraint
of trade and thus lead to prosecu
tion.
Favors C. of C. Plan
Swope indicated that he looks
with favor on the plan of the
United States chamber of commerce
which would permit industries to
make contracts for limitation of
production, the only check on such
contracts to come from a govern
mental agency which would have
authority to decide, after the con
tracts had been in effect a time,
whether they impaired the public
interest.
“Dont’ you consider there is a
strong implication of price fixing
in this plan?” asked Senator La
Follette.
“If production were limited,
prices would tend to rise. The re
gulating agency only could judge
whether the public interest had
been hurt by the extent to which
prices rose. They Inevitably would
have to fix a point beyond which
they would consider a rise in prices
harmful and injurious.”
Swope replied to this that he
“wouldn’t worry about that situa
tion until it develops.”
Fears Overproduction
Earlier in the day, Dean W. B.
Donham of the Harvard graduate
school of business administration,
urged amendment of the anti-trust
laws because “unrestrained compe
tition, where men are forbidden to
use their intellects in restricting
production, is a more critical dan
ger to this country than unrestrict
ed monopoly.”
Dr. Leo Wolman, professor of
economics at Columbia university

Pesthouse Passes Unmourned
Situated among the trees at 1505 Hiawatha street is the city’s almost forgotten pesthouse, and in the fore
ground, the residence of its operators, Mr. and Mrs. James Dietz, shown in the insets.
With the advances of medicine
and hospitalization in the last dec
ade, an unpainted structure —once
the refuge of Indianapolis’ small
pox sufferers—stands vacant at
1505 Hiawatha street, near Fall
Creek.
Adjoining the pesthouse is the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. James
and member of the staff of the na
tional bureau of economic research,
following him on the stand, em
phasized that danger lies in modi
fication of the anti-trust laws, un
less very definite steps are taken to
protect the public interest. He pre
dicted that business woud find, if it
desires in this respect were granted,
that it would derive little benefit in
freedom from these restrictions.
PASTORS’ NEED CITED
'You Must Keep Mentally
Fit,’ Charges Speaker.
“We must have a sane view of the
relations between science and re
ligion, be fairly familiar with moral
and social trends of the day and
know something about the basic
principles of psychology.”
The responsibility of every min
ister to keep intellectually fit was
stressed in these words by Dr. Cor
die J. Culp of New Brunswick, N. J.,
in an address before Indiana Pres
byterian ministers Thursday after
noon at the second day’s sessions of
a conference on “Spiritual Empha-
Dietz, keepers of the place for
twenty-one years, who now occupy
their time by working in the yards
and house.
The last patient left the pest
house seven weeks ago and doctors
claim the building' no longer is
needed.
But, before it is abolished, a
legislative act which created the
sis’’ being conducted here under
auspices of the general council of
the Presbyterian church in the
United States.
“The average congregation,” Dr.
Culp maintained, “will range intel
lectually from the well educated to
those of little training. But there
must be a recognition of certain
common needs of all to whom we
speak.”
Presbyterian conferences at Tab
ernacle Presbyterian church were to
close this noon with a communion
sendee conducted by Dr. Jean S.
Milner, pastor of Second Presby
terian church.
CHANGE PLATE DESIGN
No Connecticut License Tag to
Carry More Than 3 Numbers.
By United Press
HARTFORD Conn., Oct. 30.
Connecticut’s automobile license
plates next year will represent a
radical departure from standard
design.
No plate will carry more than
three numbers and no passenger
car plate will be larger than 9%

stead of numbers over 1,000.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
haven of smallpox sufferers must
be repealed.
Mrs. Dietz said she has her own
methods of treating the disease, so
dreaded here years ago when, at
times forty-five patients were at
tended at the pest house.
“Doctors?” Mrs. Dietz asks.
“What do they know about small
pox? Doctors have a lot of book
learning, but I have the experience.
In two decades, not a patient has
died.”
The houss was erected in 1894.

HEALTH INJURED
RY DEPRESSION
Red Cross Combats Menace
of Lower Living Standard.
By Scrlpps-Hotcard Ifetcspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.—The
exact state of the national health,
and the effect of the depression on
our well-being continues a mystery.
The American National Red
.OCT. 30, 1931
Cross announced over the week-end
that five of its services vigorously
were combating bad health con
ditions due to the economic de
pression.
“The effect upon the public health
of widespread lowered standards of
living is cause for grave concern to
the health services of the Rea
Cross.” James L. Feiser, acting
chairman, was quoted as saying.
“Reports reaching the Red Cross.”
he added, “indicate that a serious
health problem may face the nation
for several years to come as a re
sult of curtailed diets, inability to
pay for medical and hospital ex
penses and withdrawal of funds for
local health work.”
