Judge Places UMM Under Chapter XI Rules
Federal bankruptcy judge Roy Babbitt ruled United Merchants and Manufacturers Inc. will be rehabilitated under Chapter XI. UMM will remain debtors in possession and pay debts under court protection with plans to emerge by June 30. The SEC favored Chapter X for a court‑supervised reorganization to protect investors, but the court chose XI with a plan to maintain management and avoid liquidation.

Lee Bryan of Southern Wholesale Co. Inc. in Goldsboro denounces congressional claims tying the Georgia NC distributor to organized crime as silly talk and an outright lie. He says the company, North Carolina’s largest cigarette distributor, sold about 26 million dollars of cigarettes in 1977 and supplies legitimate retailers only. He offers to testify if invited by Rep. Conyers and notes most cigarette smuggling involves tourists buying on highways rather than crime rings.
