Antitrust Indictments
Filed Against 45% of
U. 5. Paint Industry
By th* Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, July 21. —Firms;
which make nearly half the Nation's1
paints, varnishes and lacquers, and
! the men who run them, were under
indictment today-^charged with a
conspiracy to fix the prices of their
products.
A Federal grand jury, acting on
Government complaints, handed
down the indictments yesterday,
naming 14 major paint companies
and 20 officials.
These companies, the indictments
said, handed more than 45 per cent
of the Nation’s billion-dollar yearly
paint business.
Attorney General Clark said the
cases were a part of the Govern
ment’s antitrust program aimed at
"illegal conspiracies” in the housing
fields.
Rose Rapidly After OPA.
He said Commerce Department
records "indicate that prices in the
paint industry rose more rapidly
after the removal of OPA ceilings
than in any other industry.”
The indictments specifically ac
cused the firms of engaging in "a
combination and conspiracy to fix,1
stabilize, maintain and control the
prices, discounts, allowances and
terms of sale” of their products.
The firms, the indictment said,
agreed “to exchange with each other
information about prices charged
• * * and other factors affecting
I prices.
In Cleveland, spokesmen for two
of the companies under indictment
protested there was no basis for the
charges.
Adrian D. Joyce, chairman of the
board of the Glidden Co., said:
“Nothing to It.”
“There's nothing to it. We never
met with any other paint concern
to discuss prices and costs. Our
prices are very much the same as
other firms due to competition.”
Luther H. Schroeder, treasurer of
;Sherwin-Williams Co., declared:
"We don't see any basis for it (the
charges) whatsoever.”
One indictment listed these firms
as producers of paints, varnishes,
enamels and lacquers:
Sherwin - Williams, Cleveland:
American Marietta Co.. Chicago;
Cook Paint & Varnish Co., Kansas
City: Devoe & Reynolds Co., Inc.,
New York: E. I. du Pont de Nemours
& Co., Wilmington, Del.: General
Paint Corp., San Francisco; Glidden,
Cleveland: the Interchemical Corp.,
New’ York, and Pittsburgh Plate
Glass Co., Pittsburgh.
A second indictment named as
producers of lacquers, varnishes,
enamels and stains for use in the
wood furniture industry:
E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.;
American-Marietta; Columbus Var- j
nish Co., Columbus, Ohio; Grand
Rapids Varnish Co., Grand Rapids,
Mich.; the Lilly Co., High Point,!
1 N. C.; the Lilly Varnish Co., Indian- j
apolis, Ind.; Sherwin-Williams, and
|the Southern Varnish Corp., Roan
>oke, Va.
The indictments said the alleged
conspiracy began in, 1937 in an effort

Dr. Blades Resigns
Poll at Gailinger
Dr. Brian Blades has resigned as
■ chief of the George Washington
University surgical service at Gailin
ger Hospital in order to devote his
full time to activities at the new
George Washington Hospital, uni
versity officials said today.
He has been succeeded by Dr.
Blaine Harrell, assistant professor
of clinical surgery at G. W.
Dr. Walter A. Bloedorn, dean of
the university Medical School, said
he sent a letter to Dr. Alvin R.
Sweeney, Gailinger superintendent,
on June 9, asking that Dr. Blades!
be relieved of duty "in view of the
opening of the new G. W. Hospital.”'
Last March Commissioner Guy j
Mason and Dr. Blades were involved 1
in a controversy in which Mr. Mason
accused Dr. Blades of allowing a
non-Distriet resident to be ad-1
mitted to Gailinger and threatened
to ask that he be removed from the
Gailinger staff. Mr. Mason later
publicly apologized.
Dr. Bloedorn said the past differ
ences between Dr. Blades and Mr.
Mason were "water under the
bridge” and that they had nothing
to do with the request that Dr.
Blades be released from his Gailin
ger duties. He said Dr. Blades is
needed every day at the university
hospital to direct a doctor’s training
program, undergraduate training at
the medical school and research
activities.

cent of all wool exported by Buenos
Aires, Argentina, in the last year.
