of the General Electric Co., effective
at once, according to an announce
ment by Charles E. Wilson, executive
vice president of the company.
simultaneously it was announced
that the commercial refrigeration
activities of the company, now locat-
ed at Cleveland as part of the ap-
pliance and merchandise depart
ment, had been relinquished by the

apparent, and the need for closer
coordination of the two lines has
resulted.
