NEW YORK (AP). - Some
time in the next three months
the mutual fund list in your
newspaper will be carrying quo
tations on the Windsor Fund
Missing will be the Wellington
Equity Fund.
No one in the fund indus
try is willing to guess how
many more changes the list will
undergo in the next sew
eral years because of the Well
ington Equity-Windsor switch.
However, some industry
sources believe the changes will
be widespread if not speedy.
The Windsor for Wellington
Equity transformation was die
tated last week when the Su-
preme Court refused to review
the case of two Philadelphians
who owned 200 shares of the
Wellington Fund, big sister Of
the Wellington Equity Fund.
They went to court seeking to
have the Equity Fund barred
from using the Wellington
name. They contended the use
of the name was unfair COM
petition.
The court agreed with the
shareholders and ordered the
Equity Fund to stop using the
Wellington name. In January
the United States Court of APP
peals in Philadelphia upheld
the lower court ruling. The ap-
peal then was carried to the
Supreme Court.
It's ruling means the Well
ington Equity Fund, founded
Az years ago by the Yelling
ton Management Co., had 80
days to change its name. The
$73 million fund prepared It
self for such an outcome and
at its annual meeting in Feb
ruary stockholders voted to re-
name it Windsor Fund If neces-

sary. This avoids the necessity
and expense of a special stock
holders meeting.
The change will not affect
the wellington Fund itself. This
is a STA billion giant, third
largest in the country. 1t was
founded "a years ago.
What effect it will have on
other funds that share a SINH
lar name with sister funds is
the big question.

tute, trade organization of the
fund industry. refused to COM
ment Immediately because I
haven't focused on the ques-
ton" Other spokesman also re-
fused to comment because "the
case involved an individual
company"
At least two dozen large
fund organizations have more
than one fund using the same
word or similar phrases In the
title. Among them are the In
vestors group, Keystone Funds,
Axe Houghton group and Mas
sachusetts Investors group.
They include the largest in the
industry.
During the two years the
wellington Equity case has
been pending. various industry
officials have said the decision
could prove extremely trouble
some If the fund lost the case.
Others believe the overall af-
feet may not be too great since
individual cases would have to
be settled on their own merits.
In some cases the various
funds were started at the same
time.
The lower court ruling, up
held in effect by the Supreme
Court, permanently prohibits
the Equity Fund from using as
part of its corporate name or

EdrI1ingsGain
Continues for
U. 5. Air|ines
BY ROGER LANE
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, (AP). - United
States airlines, which gener-
ally picked themselves UP off
the floor last year after a fl
nancial walloping in 1861, are
forging new gains.
With peak traffic seasons
still ahead, most through-route
domestic lines hope to chalk UP
improved earnings in 1868.
But the trend isn't uniform
for all carriers, and some nag
ging problems remain.
Revenue passenger traffic
rose better than 8 per cent on
an industry basis in January
April, and airline officials now
expect volume for the year to
show an increase of Z to 10
per cent.
The improvement was quick
ly recognized in Wall Street. BY
one index, the price of airline
stocks has jumped ahead 40 per
cent since the first of the year.
Even so, five Of the IL do
nestle trunklines finished with
deficits in the first quarter,
poorest period of the year for
flying, largely because Of poor
weather.
These were United, American,
Trans World, Eastern and
Northeast Airlines. But the
overall deficit dropped to
$l4,568,000 from 15,744,0O0 in
the January-M March quarter of
1862.
In 1862, the IL trunklines
posted a profit of $24,6l6,000, a
vast improvement from the
$S8, l91, 900 deficit posted in
1861. Continental, Delta, Ma
tional and Western Airlines
earnings were at or near all
time highs.
