Government to stop telephone monopoly WASHINGTON (AP) — The government Wednesday accused the American Telephone & Tele graph Co. of monopolizing tele communications service and equipment in the United States and asked a federal court to order the firm to sell off major subsidiaries. The Justice Department made the charge in a civil anti-trust suit filed in U.S. District Court here. AT&T, the world’s largest pri vately owned corporation, was ac cused of violating the Sherman Act through a variety of tactics to squelch competition. Western Electric Co., Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T, and Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc.,' owned equally by AT&T and Western Electric, also were named defendants. The announcement came shortly after the Securities and Exchange Commission announced suspension of all trading in AT&T stock. The commission made the suspension effective as of 3 p.m. Wednesday and until 10 a.m. Thursday. Government antitrust lawyers asked the court to order AT&T to divest itself of Western Electric and to split the subsidiary into two or more competing firms if necessary to assure competition. Western Electric manufactures and sells telephones and other tele communications equipment. The suit also asks that AT&T be forced to separate all or part of its Long Lines Department from some or all of the Bell operating com panies. The legal attack on the Bell Sys tem, which provides more than 80 Higher cost hits oil hard Recent crude oil price increases have hit world agriculture hard in the form of higher costs of fuel, fer tilizer and insecticides. Aggravating the situation, says the United Nations Food and Ag ricultural Organization (FAO), are competing demands by non- agricultural users of petroleum and natural gas. The result is severe shortage of nitrogen fertilizers and ceftain pesticides, which in some areas are not available at any price. Such was the picture presented by the FAO to its panel of experts on integrated pest control, a group that met in late October in Rome, Italy, to prepare for the World Food Con ference Nov. 5-16 in that city. One of the panel members. Dr. Perry L. Adkisson of the Texas Ag ricultural Experiment Station, said the session’s purpose was to develop plans to help lessen world food shor tages through better pest control techniques. Emphasis was on non chemical systems. Adkisson, who heads the En tomology Department, said the panel suggested that pest control practices be aimed more at use of resistant crop varieties and cultural and biological methods to reduce need for chemicals. He said the panel also devised a global plan for integrated pest con trol programs through training and research.

On Monday, eight companies in volved in the sale and leasing of telephone-terminal equipment filed a $900-million suit charging AT&T and some of its subsidiaries with antitrust violations. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court here against AT&T, the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele phone Company here, the Western Electric Co. and Bell Telephone Laboratories. The Justice Department’s suit may be the most significant ever filed by the department in terms of its impact on the giants of American business. But the outcome is a long time off. Another major antitrust suit, against International Business Machines, is only now approaching trial even though it was filed about six years ago. Atty. Gen. William B. Saxbe said of his decision to proceed with the AT&T suit, “I am fully aware of the service that the Bell System has provided. Nevertheless I believe the law must be enforced.” The lawsuit said that AT&T, Western Electric and the Bell Laboratories, together with the 23 local Bell operating companies, “have been engaged in an unlawful combination and conspiracy to monopolize . . . interstate trade and commerce in telecommunica tions service . . . and equipment.” He continued: “We have care fully considered the possible impact of this litigation and the requested relief. Of course, the ultimate relief to be achieved will be for the court to decide. ” The alleged conspiracy has given AT&T control over Western Elec tric, its manufacturing arm. Bell labs, the research branch, and the operating companies with the effect of eliminating competition, the suit said. AT&T has total assets of more than $67 billion. Western Electric one of the nation’s largest industrial corporations, had total 1973 sales of more than $7 billion. Hinojosa discusses Chicano literature By JIM SULLIVAN Staff Writer bar’be-que, n. — a religious gathering wherein Chicanos are invited to participate in every two, four or six years, depending on the election of public officials. The barbeque meat is cooked by hot air. Dr. Rolando R. Hinojosa-Smith, speaker for the Committee for Aw areness of Mexican-American Cul ture Wednesday night, defined barbeque with a sharp twist of sa tire. Hinojosa-Smith proved to be both humorous and entertaining in his discussion of Mexican-American literature. He commented on the fact that he was a teasipper, saying, “I got my baccalaureate at the Uni versity of Texas at Austin, but I got over it. Hinojosa-Smith said there is cur rently a rennaisance in Mexican- American literature. Problems exist, Hinojosa-Smith says, in iden tifying where the literature really began and where it belongs. The Mexican American author is influ enced by the American culture as well as the Hispanic (old world Spanish), yet his work is mistakenly labeled as Spanish literature. It is becoming easier to find liter ature, poetry, novels, essays and short stories, written from the vie wpoint of the Mexican-American, Hinojosa-Smith said. Because of increasing interest in ethnic studies, publishers are find ing it profitable to print literature under the label “Mexican- American. The only trouble is that much of the “Mexican-American” literature is written by Spanish or English authors with university •education in Spanish. If ‘Mexican-American’ or ‘Chicano’ is in the title the race is on to get the thing published, Hinojosa-Smith said. The earliest trace of Mexican- American Literature goes back to 1848. A Spanish newspaper started to include poems and other forms of creative writing. Hinojosa-Smith mentioned that Mexican-American Literature probably existed before then, but people were classified as Texans, Americans or Spaniards, ignoring those of Spanish descent who lived under American rule and influence.
