Trego urged that each motorist

of his income tax return. He said
motorists could compute this cost
either on the basis of the gasoline

figure, they could estimate it from
the mileage travelled in their ve

Says Anti-Trust
Lawyers Kilted
Their Owh Case
Tha Anti-Trust Uwyerm’ previoua-
ly defeated three tixaee la different
Federal courts, "killed their own
case” against the Great AUaatic
4 Pacific Tea company at Dallas,
A4P will say la advertisements ap
pearing la newspapers throughout
the eoudtry this week-end.
But this 4M not end the 14-year
campaign against A4P, according
to the fourth edvertUgment in a
series discussiag previous unsuc
cessful attacks on the pioneer food
chain by Anti-Trust lawyers.
“The Anti-Trust lawyers were
not satisfied with decisions against
them by these Federal Judges.” the
ad says. “They still granted to de-
sti^by A4P.”
The advertisement tens how in
1944 the Dallas case, based on alle
gations similar to those in the cur
rent suit to put A4P out of busi
ness, had been thrown out of court
by Federal Judge W. H. Atwell.
On appeal, the ad says, the Cir
cuit Court at Ne^ Orleans, al
though reinstating the indictment,
agreed that it was '‘vague and con
tained many allegations which
were inflammatory.” The Court
decided Judge Atwell “should pro
tect A4P from these Inflammatory
allegations by striking them out”
Judge Atwell struck these state
ments, the sd says, and instructed
the Anti-Trust lawyers to furnish
him “specific charges instead of
vague generalities.”
“On February 21, while the Judge
waa still waiting for his answer in
Dallas, and without any previous
notice to him,” the ad states, “the
Anti-Trust lawyers gave a story
to the newspapers In Washington,
announcing that they were drop
ping the case in Dallas."
In dropping tha case, the Anti-
Trust lawyer* were quoted as say-.
Inc they Intended “to file' a sub
stantially similar suit in an ap
propriate Jurisdiction at an early
date.”
The “early data” proved to be
the same day, A4P saye in the
advertisement.
“As soon as one Anti-Trust lawy
er killed the case In Dallas, another
Anti-Trust lawyer filed a new case
In Danville, 111.” The ad continues.
“This new case made most of the
same allegations that had been
made and dropped In Dallas and
that are being mad* again.it us
today.
“Despite defeats la three Federal
Courts In widely separated parts
of the country, they continued
their campaign to destroy A&P.”
When Judge Atwell heard of
their action, he ordered the Anti-
Trust lawyers to prepare an order
tor hit signature diamisslng the
Dallap case, the advertisement
says. In signing the order, the
Judge told OM lawyers: “This nolle
prosequi does not have the sanc
tion or approval of this court. That
is a matter that may be presented
to the other Court and may be
of Interest to the peopls at large.”
Summarising previous court no
tions In the Anti-Trust lawyers*' 14-
year attack on A4P, the advertise
ment observes: “Three times the
Anti-Trest lawyers went Into Fed
eral Courts and made serious and
damaging charges against A4P.
Three times Federal Judges said
the Anti-Trust lawyers were wrong
and rendered decisions against
them.”
After they failed in Washington,
D. 0^ Wilson. N. C.. and Dallas,
Texas, the ad concluded, they
“moved on” to Danville. 111.
“They were still determined to
destroy this Company .which had
brought more ttod better food at
lower cost to millions of American
families.”
Friendly Indians brought a deer
skin bag of popcorn to the first
Thanksgiving feast of the Pilgrims
la North America.
