Tire makers deny price fixing charges in federal suit
Goodyear president E J Thomas rejects federal charges that 19 tire makers fixed prices for 12 years. General Tire and Rubber Co. president William O Neil insists tire prices are well below prewar levels. US Rubber Co. chief Herbert E Smith notes most of his sales are under prewar pricing. A concurrent civil suit in Los Angeles targets Technicolor and Eastman Kodak over color film processing. Eastman President Thomas J Hargrave says no monopoly exists. US Steel reacts to FTC cease and desist order arguing current pricing arose from 50 years of market conditions.
