Supreme Court Ruling
Alters Movie Policy
Toward Theaters
By the Associoied Press

The movie induStrys Big Five
wreStled with new script today
an order from the Supreme Court
to get out of the super colossal class.
The tribunal ruled yesterday that
the five companies violated anti
trust laws through price-fiXing and
film distribution agreements. 1t also
told lower courts to 60 ahead
with new proceedings to determine
whether the movie concerns must
sell their interest in 3,137 theaters.
At the same time, the high court
set the stage for damage claims by
independent theater owners which
NAV run into millions of dollars.
The main monopoly case has been
in court since 1888
In 7to-l decision, the Supreme
Court upheld all but one of the
findings of special three Judge
Federal court sitting in New York
last year. Justice Douglas wrote the
majority opinion. with Justice
Frankfurter dissenting. Justice
Jackson took no part in the hearing.
The only point Of disagreement
was whether the companies should
be ordered to dispose of their thea
tiers. The Government had argued
that only by such a step could the
movie industry be opened to free
competition. The lower court had
directed that first-run pictures be
put on the auction block for COM
petitive bidding, rather than being
parceled out through company
channels.
But the Supreme Court said such
action either would call for court
supervision Of the sales or granting
great discretion to the producing
companies. 1t added:
Yet delegation of the manage
ment OF the system to the discre-
ton of those who had the genius
to conceive the present conspiracy
and to execute it with the sublety
which this record reveals, could be
done only with the greatest re-
luctance"
In his dissent, Justice Frank
furter contended the trial court
had gone far enough.
The big five companies involved
are Loew's, RKO, Paramount, War
ner Bros, and Goth Century-Fox.
They produce, distribute and exhibit
movies. Linked with them in the
case we're Columbia Pictures Corp,
and Universal Corp, producers and
distributors. and United Artists
Corp. a distributor.
Among other things, the court
said the firms acted in restraint of
trade by:
l. Setting the price OF admissions.
2. Giving clearance" to some the
aters-that is, setting the time be-
fore film could be shown In a
rival house.
3. Block booking-bv which a the
ater or chain must take a number
OF pictures to get particular one
desired.
On the matter Of damage claims,
the court refused to review a case
appealed from Philadelphia and
thus upheld a s435 900 Judgment to
William Goldman. operator of the
Erlanger Theater In Philadelphia.
The District Court and the Court
OF Appeals had awarded Mr.. Gold
man triple damages on his conten-
ton that he would have made $l25,-
600 In Is months if he had had
access to the best pictures on the
first run. The courts also allowed
Mr.. Goldman 100000 for attorney
! fees and ordered the distributors tn

let him bid for the top-ranking
pictures.
Later Mr.. Goldman sued for an
other $8,400,000 for four-year
period following the IS months.
Lawyers for the producers and dis
tributors said more than go suits
are pending and that it will bring
down on the industry a flood of
litigation which it may not be able
to survive"
Defendants in the damage action
were LoeW's, Inc; Paramount, RKO,
Twentieth Century-Fox, Columbia

Fearless Steel
Worker and Wife
Have 18th Child
TripIet Girls Mean II
in Family Now

DULUTH, MINN.-With the birth
of triplets, Mr.. and Mrs. Adolph
Erickson celebrated the 18th, 18th
and 18th additions to their family.
1--WE hope this is ALL" said the
flabbergasted Erickson. ut was
hard to keep track of IA. What we'll
do now, I don't know"
Erickson, 46, a steel mill worker,
and his wife, Edna, 43, started their
family % years ago. He sort of
hoped for twins then, but along
came a daughter.
AS the years went on and more
children came, he was too busy to
eve think about multiple babies.
Then along came this. DR.. A. o.
Swenson warned them ahead of
time they would have triplets. But
Erickson didn't believe it until he
looked at the three squirming, red
faced little girls.
"LOOk Cute"
''They look kinda cute" he ad-
mitted.
Where the big family tradition
comes from stumps Erickson. His
wife comes from a family of two,
and he has five brothers and sisters
but III And triplets!
"Never had any in my family
BEFORE" said Erickson. "Nor in the
wife's either"
Mrs. Erickson (she always names
the girls, decided to call the trip
lets Arlene Lynn, Arnita Lee, and
Ardiss Lou. They're doing fine, said
Erickson. The five pound one is out
of the incubator already, he said,
though the other two will stay in
for a while.
Where to put the three little girls
when they come back from the
hospital is worrying Erickson. Their
house consists of five rooms, one
bedroom and a porch.
Some Live Away
Not all the children live at home.
Erickson gets a little
vague when he tries to figure out
just how many are still under his
roof. All told he thinks there will
be about IL in the house when the
mother and triplets come home.
Some of the older ones, he said,
have got jobs and live away from
home.
In addition to the triplets, there
are II girls and 3 boys in the fam
lily. The youngest is a boy, aged 2.
While their mother is away, the
older ones have taken charge, get
ting the meals, scrubbing the lit
tie ones, keeping them in line.
Some of his friends have been
teasing Erickson about giving three
to each of them. Erickson
He's given up that practice

Second America labor leaders
