Lilly Endowment Inc. will reduce grant payouts for at least two years as stock market losses shrink its principal. Executive VP Richard O. Ristine cited Eli Lilly & Co. stock dipping below 37 dollars a share, cutting investments from about 1.0 billion in 1974 to 671 million in 1976. The 1969 tax law requiring fixed payout percentages compounds the strain.
