US Fails In Suit vs Du Ponts No Monopoly Shown
A federal judge dismissed the government antitrust case against E I du Pont de Nemours Co and related Du Pont interests. Judge La Bay found no conspiracy or restraint of trade under Sherman and Clayton acts, noting long-ago GM and US Rubber investments did not produce unlawful restraint. An appeal decision will depend on Atty. Gen. Brownell and Stanley N. Barnes after review.
