ROBERTSON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS 40 North Rivcreid Supreme Court Directs Judgment Within 60 Days Washington -fflPD- The Su preme Court ruled today that E, I. du Pont de Nemours Sc Co., must get rid of its 63 mil lion shares of General Motors stock. ' The 4-3 decision was a vic tory for the Justice Depart ment, which ha been insist ing for years that only by a complete divestiture could Du Pont "cure" its illegal rela tionship to the giant General Motors Corp. Justices Tom C. Clark, who was connected with the case when he was attorney general, and John M. Harlan, who rep resented Du Pont in private practice, did not participate in the decision. Early Solution Urged Justice William J. Brennan Jr. spoke for the majority. He returned the case to U.S. Dis trict Court in Chicago, where he- suggested that this "al ready protracted litigation" be concluded as soon as possible. Brennan directed the lower court to enter an order re quiring du Pont to file within 60 days a proposed judgment providing for complete dives titure of Its General Motors stock, to commence within 90 days and to be completed within 10 years.-. ' . The Justice Department must give its views on the du Pont proposals 30 days after it gets them. "The district court shaU give precedence to this cause on its calendar," Brennan said. Last February when the case was argued before the Supreme Court, the stock was worth about $2.7 billion on the New York ' Stock Ex change. It is about 23 per cent of GM s outstanding stock. Violation of Law In 1957, the Supreme Court found that du Font s owner ship of this bloc was a viola tion of the Clayton antimo nopoly law. The statute bars stock acquisitions where the effect "may be substantially to lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly." But U.S. District Judge Walter J. La Buy of Chicago ruled that du Pont could keep the stock but not vote it. The voting rights were passed along to holders of du Pont stockrln proportion to shares owned. Du Pont directors were barred from serving on the GM board. Portland Church Damaged by Flames Portland-flJPS-A three-alarm fire caused $40,000 damages to a church Slnday afternoon.
