The following editorial is from
Sunday issue of the Columbia

‘ Harold Booker wants to know
who can remember the good old
day* when the old ‘ice cream
freezer was brought out to furnish
the dessert when company came
in the summer time.
“We not only can remember
that We can remember when it
wasn’t even called a freezer. It
was an ice cream ‘churn.’
“Who can’t remember all the
ramifications that sprang from
toe weekly ritual of ‘churning the

particular dogs has never been
fathomed.
“In those days, also, there was
no ready-cracked ice as there is
in these days of labor-saving,
initiative defeating devices. Some
estates probably had a short
length of hickory or poplar log
on the back porch to serve as a
pounding block and the elegance
of a wooden mallet. Others used
the steps and the axe Still others
•ajca pick and a dish pan.
With two or more boys around
there was always an argument as
to who would crack the ice and
who would turn the crank. The
one drawing the cracking might
lie on the sofa too long forcing his
brother to take over his chore, but
he would still be on hand to put
in his claim to licking the dasher.

president of the Du Pont Com-
ny, concerning the civil suit
ed in Chicago by the U. S. De
partment of Justice against Du
Pont, General Motor Corporation
and others alleging violation of
the Sherman and Clayton anti
trust laws:
. “The Du Pont Company em
phatically denies that its rela
tionships with General Motors and
the other companies mentioned in
the complaint have been either il
legal or In any way detrimental to
toe interest of toe people of toe
United States.
“On the contrary, these rela
tionships have served the public
interest in a conspicuous way; and
in that firm belief we will de
fend our actions and our present
position with the utmost vigor.
“Since these relationships have
been a matter of public record
and public information for many

years, toe motive for this suit
must arise out of a determination
by toe Department of Justice to
attack bigness in business as such.
We cannot believe that such a po
sition is or will be supported by
toe American people because in
the end it would increase prices,
reduce living standards, and even
weaken the national security."
