ings owned by the defendants
was estimated by the government
several months ago at more than
six billion dollars. It has increased
since then.
Original Complaint
In its original complaint, filed
in 1949, the government charged
that the Du Pont family interests
had used their large holdings of
General Motors and U.S. Rubber
stock to make captive markets for
Du Pont products of the big auto
and rubber manufacturing con
cerns.
It asked that the Du Pont in
terests be ordered to sell their
General Motors and U.S. Rubber
stocks. The government said the
Du Ponts held 23 per cent of
General Motors' stock and 17
per cent of that isued by U.S.
Rubber.
Not Violated
The suit was brought under pro
visions of the Sherman and Clay
ton Antitrust Acts. Judge Laßuy
held that neither law had been
violated and there was "no need
. . . to discuss legal principles or
precedents . . ."
"The essence of the conspiracy
and restraint which the govern
ment finally charged and sought
to Drove in this case," Judge
Laßuy said, "is the alleged lim
itation upon .General Motors
ability to deal as it pleased with
competitors of Du Pont and
United States Rubber."
He said the record of the trial
showed "the extent to which Gen
eral Motors enjoyed complete
freedom of action with respect to
specific products manufactured by
Du Pont and United Stated Rub
ber, and with respect to its dis
coveries and developments of
new products."

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 3 (R)—
Truman McLaughlin got out
his streetcar pass last night
when the driver demanded 65
cents in cash.
"I pay for all my rides with
this," McLaughlin later told a
policeman. "Why do "I have
to pay for riding a streetcar?"
The officer arrested Mc-
Laughlin on a charge of drunk
eness. McLaughlin wasn't on a
streetcar. He was in a taxicab.
Imprisonment Case
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Dec. 3 (JP)—The United States and
its allies in Korea agreed tonight to place before the UN Assembly
at the earliest possible moment the case of the 11 American fliers
held as spies in Red China.
This decision was announced by the chief American delegate to
the UN, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.,
after a meeting of the 16 UN Al
lies in Lodge's office. He issued
the following brief statement to
newsmen
"We had a meeting of the 16
and there is marvelous and in
spiring unanimity on the vital
need to get release of the 11
American men and of all 'others
who fought as members, of the
UN Command and are detained in
violation of the Korean armistice
agreement.
"We reached agreement that we
would take the matter up in the
General Assembly at the earliest
possible date."
Lodge's.announcement came
shortly after Britain had dis
closed it was lining up firmly
with the United States in an at
tempt to obtain the release of
the imprisoned aviators.
Diplomatic sources said a re
quest to make •the case a new
item on the Assembly's agenda
would be filed with that body
Sunday or Monday.
They said some of, the 16 coun
tries still were waiting for in
structions from their govern
ments but all were expected
eventually to join in this request.

... AND HOW IT STARTED. FRED BIRMINGHAM says:
"I've wanted to be an editor ever since I worked on a boy's magazine
at age 8. After being an editor of the Dartmouth literary magazine (The Dart),.
I set my sights on Esquire. It took 18 years of hard work to achieve
the editorship after struggling as a newsmagazine cub, cartoon and
essay writer, advertitiing copy writer and trade paper editor."

On Censure Effects
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (JP)—Republicans in the Senate disagreed
today on whether wounds opened by the bitterly-contested Mc-
Carthy censure battle would leave lasting scars on the Republican
party. One pro-McCarthy Repub
lican who asked not to be quoted
by name said flatly:
"We will never forgive Sen.
Ralph E.' Flanders."
