Limiting A. P. Would

Chicago Tribune Says
Lower Court Decree
Could Hamper Growth,
Attorney Declares
By the Associated Press.

Chicago Tribune counsel told
the Supreme Court today the
tGovernment's suit against the
associated Press provided a vehi-
[ele for limiting competition in
news distribution.
I5 This was true, Attorney Howard
Ellis contended, because the growth
of other news agencies would be
strictured under a decree issued by
a special three-judge Federal Court
in the Southern district of New York
The lower court based its decree
in the civil antitrust action on a
finding that news is subject to a
public policy not applicable to other
commodities and requires the great
est possible dissemination to achieve
full illumination" of the public.
The Supreme Court is hearing
arguments on an appeal from this
decision by the AP and the Tribune,
and on cross appeal filed by the
Government. The Government was
to be heard later in the day.
Discusses Lower Court Ruling.
The New York court ordered that
the AP refrain from observing by
laws permitting members to con-
slider, when passing on an applca-
ton for membership, the ability of
an applicant to compete with exist
ing members in the same field
(morning or evening".
THE lower court found,' Mr.. Ellis
said, that there are three major
news agencies-the AP. the UP and
the ms. Other smaller agencies
are growing up and knocking at
| the door. The New York Times, for
instance, conducts news agency in
which it grants exclusive use of its
news in certain areas outside of
New York City. Suppose that it
should be held that the New York
Times must eliminate this ex-
clusivity. Certainly it would cease
selling because it would then have
to serve its New York competitors
The effect would be to limit the
great news agencies to the three
large ones Contrast this with the
situation at present. where all news
