that whether or not Mr.. Roberts

ply to a query as to whether plans
had been abandoned for all time.
Future UnpredictabIe
Neither the decision of the

Mr.. Roberts said he will enter
suit to compel the North American
Company to divest itself Of Wash

pany stock on the theory that 1t
| is a violation of the La Toilette

The announcement was made
shortly after North American Com
pany sought to withdraw its

Counsel Roberts theory is that
