Judgment On Newspapers
(N Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright> WASHINGTON, March 11. The United States Supreme Court has given a ruling that newspapers violate anti-trust laws when they combine their production facilities but not their news departments to save expense. The ruling came in a test case over two newspapers in Tucson, Arizona, the “Star” and the “Citizen,” which combined their operations in 1940. The Justice Department took legal action and a Federal district court in Arizona ruled in 1968 that the arrangement violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Laws. The ruling upheld by the Supreme Court affects 44 daily newspapers-in 22 cities which have similar arrangements.
