Federal Trade Group Blasts Coffee Exchange
Washington — (U,P)— The Federal Trade commission today accused the New York Coffee and Sugar exchange, its officers and members with engaging in illegal trade practices in trading in coffee futures.
The commission issued a complaint stating that the exchange unlawfully restricted trading on the coffee futures market to coffee im-

The commission said that use of this restrictive contract "contributed to and promoted substantial increases in the prices which the consuming public has been required to pay for coffee."

The complaint was the first result of the commission's long investigation into the sudden rise in coffee prices earlier this year.
Beside the exchange, others, named included four exchange officers eight of its members, and the New Jersey sugar clearing association, inc.
The commission gave the respondents 20 days in which to file answers. It said the first hearing is scheduled tentatively to be held in New York on Dec. 14.

What America Means To Me
My boyhood days were spent in a land where life was severe and not happy. In my late teens I came to America.
Perhaps someone with my background appreciates America even or more than those who were born in this wonderful land, and who have not experienced the suppression, poverty, and fear that exists in other parts of the world.
I have two children who were born in Lawrence and we have watched them grow up under the influence of excellent schools and civic surroundings. My son recently joined me in the management of the business, and it will be up to him to carry on in the future life of the community.
From the very begoinning I liked Lawrence but, as the years have gone by I realize more and more how lucky anyone is who can call this city his home. If a man would search the whole land over surely he couldn't find a better place to live, get an education, and go to school.
Now the town is 100 years old, having been founded by those courageous people from Massachusetts in 1854. Eleven years later they founded the University of Kansas. They were people of high ideals and their influence has lasted down thru the years.
It has been my very good fortune to live in Lawrence for one-third of its history; from 1920 until now. I am deeply grateful for the fine town that was created for me to live in, and I feel that it is the duty of all of us to maintain Lawrence and the University of Kansas as happy, and progressive institutions.
