Judge says Danville ruling cannot base suit to dissolve A P
Chicago May 18 The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company discloses that Federal Judge Walter C Lindley who oversaw the 1946 Danville case said he did not condemn the A P system nor make a finding to support a dissolution suit. The ad notes Lindley’s position conflicts with anti trust lawyers claims that the Danville decision underpins their NY federal suit to dissolve A P and its Commission Company. The ad explains Lindley objected to the Commission Company dual role of buying for A P and selling to growers, a practice now ended, with the Commission buying produce only for A P.
