Moves for Dismissal
Of Supreme Court Plea
Bv Re Associated Press

Bv he Associated Press
The Justice Department asked the
Supreme Court today to dismiss the
Governments appeal from a decision
by the Federal District Court for
Delaware leaving in effect a 1882
consent decree on antitrust charges
that had been brought against the
Radio Corp. of America, General
Electric Co. and others
No reason was given for asking
the dismissal
The litigation involved a Govern
ment motion in the District Court to
vacate the consent decree on the
ground that it does not now pro-
mote the public interest" The JUS
tice Department indicated at that
time that new action might be
taken.
The motion was denied by the
District Court, which ruled that the
decree conferred benefits on the de-
PENDANTS and could not be vacated
without evidence or an agreement to
that effect. The companies opposed
the District Court motion
The department then appealed to
the Supreme Court.
In its original complaint in 1880
the department charged the COM
panies with a conspiracy to monop-
olize interstate and foreign trade in
radio and radio apparatus and in
the transmission of messages.

Several large firms and many small
ones are yet to make complete re-
ports, and it is anticipated that all
